Returning culture to peacebuilding : contesting the liberal peace in Sierra Leone
No full textThis thesis investigates the advantages and limitations of applying culture to the analysis of violent conflict and peacebuilding, with a particular focus on liberal peacebuilding in Sierra Leone. While fully aware of the critique of the concept of culture in terms of its uses for the production of difference and ‘otherness,’ it also seeks to respond to the critique of liberal peacebuilding on the account of its low sensitivity towards local culture, which allegedly undermines the peace effort. After a careful examination of the terms of discussion about culture enabled by theoretical approaches to conflict in Chapter 2, the thesis presents a theoretical framework for the analysis of cultural aspects of conflict and peace based on the processes and effects of meaning-generation (Chapter 3), developing the conceptual apparatus and vocabulary for the subsequent empirical study. Instead of bracketing out the recursive nature of cultural theorising, the developed approach embraces the recursive dynamics which arise as a result of cultural ‘embeddedness’ of the analyst and the processes which s/he seeks to elucidate, mirroring similar dynamics in the cultural production of meaning and knowledge. The framework of ‘embedded cultural enquiry’ is then used to analyse the practices of liberal peacebuilding as a particular culture, which shapes the interaction of the liberal peace with its ‘subjects’ and critics as well as framing its reception of the cultural problematic generally (Chapter 4). The application of the analytical framework to the case study investigates the interaction between the liberal peace and ‘local culture,’ offering an alternative reading of the conflict and peace process in Sierra Leone (Chapter 5). The study concludes that a greater attention to cultural meaning-making offers a largely untapped potential for peacebuilding, although any decisions with regard to its deployment will inevitably be made from within an inherently biased cultural perspective

Leone Allemandes Corpus
No full textThe corpus we present is comprised of twenty-four allemandes (dance music originating from Germany, usually possessing even meter), written in 1768 by Gabriele Leone (sometimes referred to as Pietro Leone), a mandolin virtuoso from Naples. These pieces were originally included in a method for teaching mandolin to violin players (in particular, the method was dedicated to Louis Philippe II, later known as Philippe Égalité, at the time when he was Duke of Chartres). As such, despite the great technical ability of the author, the pieces are extremely simple and can be played by a novice. All of the allemandes are written for a mandolin duo, ideally having the first part played by the student and the second by the teacher, so all these pieces are polyphonic. In addition, a single instrument often plays chords, so either part may polyphonic on its own. Since the Neapolitan mandolin has only four strings, neither part ever has more than four simultaneous notes.
These pieces are released here in MusicXML format, with added chord annotations. We propose this corpus as a tool for the study of musical structure, as these simple pieces have strong formal regularities. More information can be found on the paper below.
