Trajeto Kartonero
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura Brasileira, Florianópolis, 2011Este trabalho constitui uma pesquisa que procura, a partir do modo de ação de algumas Editoras Cartoneras, (re)conhecer o fenômeno denominado "cartonerismo", movimento editorial, poético, filosófico, político e cultural que se desenvolve pela América Latina. Tratá-lo principalmente sobre as perspectivas teóricas literárias contemporâneas, sobretudo, da pós-modernidade, perfazendo uma leitura multilateral desses acontecimentos e pensamentos com referência às incidências críticas e estéticas em relação a algumas obras publicadas por estas editoras
THE ELECTRONIC EDITION AND TEXTUAL CRITICISM OF AMERICAN MUSICAL THEATRE
No full textFor many, contemporary theatre is represented by the musical. The form remains, however, virtually unstudied by literary scholars. In part, this may be a result of the difficulty of accessing the texts. Reading a musical from a traditional codex is no easy matter. The integration of text and music in a musical make it inappropriate to separate the two. One can try to follow along with a cast recording. In most cases, though, this is awkward. Many cast albums record a significantly modified version of the score and lyrics and few include the entire work. Further, musical theatre texts often exist in many different versions. This work begins with a summary of the problems one encounters when editing a multi-authored text (musicals often have a lyricist, librettist, and composer) which may be revised for practical (rather than aesthetic) reasons.

Electronic Broadway Project
No full textThe Electronic Broadway Project, based at the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH), seeks to create an interface for electronic editions of musical theater texts and, as a prototype, develop an electronic edition of the new Broadway musical Glory Days. We will also explore, in this project, the problem of editing a text that was mostly composed electronically. Like so many new literary works, Glory Days was written using digital tools (Word processors, digital music recorders, etc) and so the primary sources are, in many cases, preserved as bits on magnetic media rather than as ink on paper
CAMP: The Collaborative Ajax-Based Modeling Platform
No full textThe Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities and the Theatre Department at the University of Maryland in College Park want to set up CAMP, a Collaborative, Ajax-Based, Modeling Platform. As the name suggests, this tool is an open source, collaborative, 3d modeler that will allow users with very little experience to generate a 3-dimensional model in their web browser which they can then allow other users to both view and edit. The tool will initially be used to construct an international database of pre-19th century theater buildings, but will be intentionally generic so that scholars interested in structures of any sort can easily port it into their own projects
MOVER [a Multimodal Open-Source Variorum eBook Reader]
No full textThe New York Public Library (NYPL) requests a Level II Start Up grant with which it proposes to develop MOVER [a Multimodal Open-Source Variorum eBook Reader], a mobile "app" that patrons will use to read and study media-enhanced editions of texts and musical scores that exist in multiple versions using the newly released ePub 3.0 ebook format and the Android mobile operating system. Project staff will test this software by creating a variorum (multiple version) edition of the libretto and score of the once enormously popular but now largely forgotten 1866 melodrama, The Black Crook. Using the software developed for this project, readers will be able to read the libretto and sheet music in multiple versions, while concurrently hearing the music associated with any particular line of the text or score
Digital Tools
No full textThe Ajax XML Encoder (AXE), developed at the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH), will revolutionize the production of electronic editions and digital archives. AXE is a web-based tool for "tagging" text, video, audio, and image files with XML metadata, a process that is now a necessary but onerous first step in the production of digital material. With an intutitive, web-based interface, AXE will make this process more efficient and accurate. It will also facilitate collaboration in the digital humanities by permitting multiple scholars to work on the same document or archive at the same time from various locations, and will track all work so that variant versions can be collated and all versions can be archived. The open source AXE will provide a free and better alternative for tagging all kinds of digital content in a web-based and multi-medial digital environment
Replication Data for: Political Ideology and Issue Importance
No full textPast research has shown that issues vary significantly in their salience across citizens, explaining key outcomes in political behavior. Yet it remains unclear how individual-level differences in issue salience affect the measurement of latent constructs in public opinion, namely political ideology. In this paper, we test whether scaling approaches that fail to incorporate individual-level differences in issue salience could understate the predictive power of ideology in public opinion research. To systematically examine this assertion, we employ a series of latent variable models which incorporate both issue importance and issue position. We compare the results of these different and diverse scaling approaches to two survey datasets, investigating the implications of accounting for issue salience in constructing latent measures of ideology. Ultimately, we find that accounting for issue importance adds little information to a more basic approach that uses only issue positions, suggesting ideological signals for measurement models reside most prominently in the issue positions of individuals rather than the importance of those issues to the individual
Além das margens, aquém da tradição: a sonetística de Douglas Diegues
No full textOur corpus of analysis are poems included in Dágusto andar desnudo por estas selvas – Sonetos Salvajes (2002) and Uma flor na solapa da miséria (2005) by Douglas Diegues. The object of this article are the sonnets of Diegues and his ability to presents the potentials and the limitations of literary and linguistic forms. The sonnet shows, at the same time, his exhaustive recurrence and his self-referential ability to express the tensions that reside in the constitution of the poetic space and the poetic shape.Tendo como corpus de análise poemas incluídos em "Dá gusto andar desnudo por estas selvas – Sonetos Salvajes" (2002) e "Uma flor na solapa da miséria" (2005), de Douglas Diegues, o objeto deste artigo é a sonetística do poeta e sua capacidade de apresentar as potencialidades e as limitações das formas literárias e linguísticas. O soneto é, a um só tempo, mostra da saturação pela recorrência quase exaustiva a uma fôrma e da capacidade autorreferente de expressar as tensões que residem na constituição tanto do fazer, quanto do espaço poético
A Portrait of Douglas G. Pearce
No full textI am very pleased to be
offered the opportunity to write a portrait of Professor Douglas G. Pearce for Anatolia.
Although an autobiographic account of Doug’s evolution from ‘Geographer
to Tourism Geographer to Tourism Management scholar’ was published in Stephen
Smith’s 2010 book The Discovery of
Tourism, a comprehensive account of a four decade long contribution to our
field is arguably not adequately established without insights on the breadth
and depth of a pioneering scholar’s contributions by his colleagues and
peers. In this context I wholeheartedly
embrace this opportunity to share the views of several (indeed I hope most) of
Doug’s colleagues, peers and mentees about his numerous, long-standing and
enduring contributions to our field. My
own position is best described by stating that I reside in both the colleague
and mentee cohorts. I have had the pleasure of being Doug’s colleague in the
Tourism Management Group at Victoria University of Wellington (VUW), New Zealand, and co-authored of several of
Doug’s publications. But at the same
time I have benefitted greatly from Doug’s advice, guidance and overall
leadership of the VUW Tourism Management Group and as such regard him as a
longstanding mentor. </p
Égalité ou Réalité: Where Do Muslims Truly Reside in Today’s France?
No full textIn this study, the author focuses on France, exclusively, to illuminate the potential causes for material and/or ideological support to terror in that society, and further indicates how these trends may be evident or potential throughout Western societies. As in recent years, the word "Muslim" has become synonymous with terror in the daily lexica of France and other Western societies, this thesis demonstrates that terrorism is not a spontaneous or stand-alone problem. Terror and other forms of extremism in France--whether imminent or imagined--mark an end form of the true issue: social exclusion, or alienation, or isolation of French Muslims. French society's Republican values of liberty, equality, and fraternity make no distinction for such identity factors as ethnicity and religion. This study focused on the French headscarf ban, with its goal of promoting integration. This thesis demonstrates that the wearing of headscarves by Muslim girls in French society was manifested as a challenge to French identity and the tradition of laiÌ citeÌ , or secularism. These ideas, and others central to French-ness, are seen in the French polity as threatening, as well as a visual representation to the threat posed by the influx of Muslim immigrants and their failure to assimilate. This thesis concludes by demonstrating that issues such as racism, Islamaphobia, and social alienation or exclusion are the vehicles that radical Islamists prey upon to find potential jihadists. If the headscarf ban is politicized by the fundamental Muslim community, the ban ultimately might prove counterproductive resulting in reduced integration in public schools, more segregation, and a radicalized Muslim community hostile to the Western traditions that France holds so dear.Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.US Army (USA) author.http://archive.org/details/galitouralitwher10945338
