Portfolio of recorded performances and exegesis: Messiaen’s musical language for the jazz pianist - an exploration through performance.
No full textMoving beyond Gunther Schuller’s Third Stream amalgamation of classical and jazz, this study explores whether the musical language of Olivier Messiaen can make a valid contribution to jazz piano performance. Initially, my project sought to answer such questions as: What elements of the musical language of Messiaen already exist in the jazz vocabulary? Am I able to extend this further? What are the timbral structures and pianistic effects within Messiaen’s musical language? What will be the most effective application of Messiaen’s musical language to jazz piano performance? Endeavouring to answer the final question led me to consider such aspects as whether the project should be limited to quoting Messiaen motifs, arranging Messiaen melodies, replacing jazz harmonic structures on standards with examples from Messiaen’s musical language or whether it would be better to approach the research conceptually. The work of Hubert Nuss provided encouraging reassurance that this was not an impossible task. In order to articulate this conception, the initial challenge was to decide how the classical and jazz worlds might meet in a ‘Messiaen’ technique. The approach adopted was similar to that used for undergraduate jazz study, namely, immersion in the piano scores and recordings of Messiaen’s music as well as by live performances. This was followed by the development and assessment of a contrived approach when specific techniques, such as tonal colourings or harmonic structures, were developed through prepared exercises and consciously included in my performance. It was then compared with an intuitive approach when no such precise parameters were established. This submission consists of CD recordings of two public recitals and an exegesis. It documents the development of this Messiaen technique and discusses its application in my performances. It also demonstrates the ways that Messiaen’s musical language can be used within jazz piano performance to provide a colour that distinguishes jazz piano performance in a competitive field.Thesis (M.Mus.) -- University of Adelaide, Elder Conservatorium of Music, 201
Investigating Street Art in Latin America. Interview with Olivier Dabène
No full textcontribution à un site webPolitical scientist Olivier Dabène is the author of Street Art and Democracy in Latin America, published by Palgrave Macmillan. The author presents the results of a several year long project in several cities of Latin America, during which he investigated and questioned the relation between street art and (local) democracy. Olivier Dabène has accepted to answer our questions and present his book. Interview by Miriam Perier, CERI
Dependence Relation in Pregeometries
No full textABSTRACT. The aim of this paper is to set a foundation to separate geometric model theory from model theory. Our goal is to explore the possibility to extend results from geometric model theory to non first order logic (e.g. Lω1,ω). We introduce a dependence relation between subsets of a pregeometry and show that it satisfies all the formal properties that forking satisfies in simple first order theories. This happens when one is trying to lift forking to nonelementary classes, in contexts where there exists pregeometries but not necessarily a well-behaved dependence relation (see for example [HySh]). We use these to reproduce S. Buechler’s characterization of local modularity in general. These results are used by Lessmann to prove an abstract group configuration theorem in [Le2]. 1
A primer of simple theories
No full textAbstract. We present a self-contained exposition of the basic aspects of simple theories while developing the fundamentals of forking calculus. We expound also the deeper aspects of S. Shelah’s 1980 paper Simple unstable theories. The concept of weak dividing has been replaced with that of forking. The exposition is from a contemporary perspective and takes into account contributions due to S. Buechler, E. Hrushovski, B. Kim, O. Lessmann, S. Shelah and A. Pillay
Forking in pregeometries.
No full textAbstract: "The aim of this paper is to set the foundation to separate geometric model theory from model theory. Our thesis is that it is possible to lift results from geometric model theory to non first order logic (e.g. L[subscript omegaΓéü, omega]). We introduce a relation between subsets of a pregeometry and show that it satisfies all the formal properties that forking satisfies in simple first order theories. This is important when one is trying to lift forking to nonelementary classes, in contexts where there exists pregeometries but not necessarily a well-behaved dependence relation (see for example [HySh]). We use these to reproduce S. Buechler's characterization of local modularity in general. These results are used by Lessmann to prove an abstract group configuration theorem in [Le2].
Crisis and Revolution in Economic Theory and Policy: A Debate
No full textThe following is the transcript of a debate, entitled ‘Pensare un’alternativa’ (Thinking of an Alternative), between Olivier Blanchard, former Chief Economist of the International Monetary Fund and a leading exponent of mainstream macroeconomics, and Emiliano Brancaccio, author of the book Anti-Blanchard and advocate of ‘The Economists’ Warning’ against European deflationary policies. The debate examines, from two different theoretical perspectives, the global great recession, the Eurozone crisis, the effects of austerity and deflation, increased social inequality, and political conflict. It took place at the Giangiacomo Feltrinelli Foundation in Milan, Italy, on 19 December 2018, and was moderated by the journalist Pietro Raitano

'Auteur Shakespeare': Laurence Olivier
No full textThe article appears in a special issue Shakespeare and the Auteurs.The article discusses the films: Henry V. 1944. Dir. Laurence Olivier. United Kingdom. Two Cities Films;Hamlet. 1948. Dir. Laurence Olivier. United Kingdom. Two Cities Films;Richard III. 1955. Dir. Laurence Olivier. United Kingdom. London Film Productions.In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:In 1948 Laurence Olivier claimed that he could make a Shakespeare film “just as Shakespeare himself, were he living now, might make it” (Foreword 3). This statement refers specifically to the 1948 Hamlet but the connection between Olivier and Shakespeare is frequently evoked, too, in relation to Olivier’s other cinematic adaptations: Henry V (1944), Richard III (1955), and the unmade Macbeth. In this statement, Olivier asks us to read his own stylistic signature as constituting the equivalent of Shakespeare’s should the author be transmogrified into what would be later designated the cinematic auteur. Yet, appearing in the context of a foreword justifying the supposed liberties taken with Shakespeare’s play-text, it also stresses difference. In negotiating difference through sameness, Olivier’s justification of his “interpretation” of Hamlet ultimately asserts that Olivier’s visual stamp on the film is both analogous to Shakespeare’s imagined cinematic signature and specific to Olivier himself
