Audiomobiles, Sculptures and Conundrums
No full textRoberto Gerhard was a pioneer of electronic music in England creating a number of substantial concert, theatre and radio works from as early as 1954. Gerhard’s electronic music is one of the richest repositories for understanding the development of the composer’s late compositional technique. Apart from the Symphony no.3, ‘Collages’, none of Gerhard’s electronic music is published. This paper will discuss aspects of Gerhard’s electronic music, focusing on Audiomobiles (1958-59) and Sculptures (1963)
Perspectives on Max Frisch
No full textMax Frisch, with his countryman Friederich Diirrenmatt, shares the place of eminence in contemporary Swiss literature. Indeed, he ranks high among the recent leading writers in the German language. But, although several of his works— novels and plays—have been translated into English, he remains little known in America. In this collection of essays an international group of scholars provides a fresh introduction to this noted author.
The three leading essays review Frisch\u27s work in the forms he has used most extensively—drama, narrative fiction, and the personal diary. The remaining nine essays focus on specific works or topics. Among the works examined are I\u27m Not Stiller, A Wilderness of Mirrors, Wilhelm Tell, and the recent Man in the Holocene. Among the topics are Frisch\u27s use of language and images, his treatment of women, and the element of parody. Concluding the volume is the most complete bibliography on Frisch to appear in English to date.

Roberto Gerhard’s Sound Compositions: A Historical-Philological Perspective. Archive, Process, Intent and reenactment
No full textThis research advances the current state of knowledge in the field of early tape music both empirically and methodologically. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact that the electronic medium exerted in the musical thinking of Roberto Gerhard, one of the most outspoken, prolific and influential composers in the Spanish diaspora whose musical legacy, for the most part unknown, is a major landmark in the early history of electroacoustic music. Gerhard’s personal tape collection, one of the largest historical archives of its kind reported in the literature, is exceptional for both its antiquity (50+-year-old tapes) and its abundance of production materials. Through the digitisation and analysis of the composer’s tape collection this research argues that the empirical study of audio documents sets out a basis for a broader understanding of textual processes. More specifically, the research demonstrates that the reconstruction of works based on magnetic tape sketches is a powerful method to advance the understanding of early tape music. This research also examines Gerhard’s sound compositions in relation to the post-war context in which they were composed. Finally, this research presents performance documentation that proposes an approach to the electroacoustic music repertoire in which creativity is not at odds with rigor and critical discernment demonstrating that archival study can be closely aligned to the concept of re-enactment

H+ secretion in renal cortical tubules: Kinetic aspects11This lecture was presented at the XXXth Congress of The International Union of Physiological Sciences, Vancouver, Canada, July 15, 1986.
No full textThe Robert F. Pitts Memorial Lectureships were founded in 1978, when the many friends and admirers of Robert Pitts established a fund in memory of that distinguished physiologist. The lecturer is selected by the Renal Commission of the International Union of Physiological Sciences, with the Chair of Physiology at Cornell University Medical College acting ex officio. The lecture is presented at each International Congress of Physiological Sciences. At the XXXth Congress held in Vancouver, Canada, the Pitts Lecturer was Professor Gerhard Malnic from Sao Paulo, Brazil. He delivered the lecture on July 15, 1986.There are several aspects about the choice of Professor Malnic that seem singularly fitting. First and foremost, he is an outstanding physiologist who, like Robert Pitts, has contributed much to our understanding of renal function. Of Pitts' many contributions to physiology, the major one was probably his brilliant elucidation of how the kidney maintains hydrogen ion balance, and it is in this area that Gerhard Malnic has done most of his original work. Professor Malnic received his major postdoctoral training in Dr. Pitts' department at Cornell. There, under the tutelage of Gerhard Giebisch, Professor Malnic became first author on a series of three classic papers, published in 1964 and 1966, which conclusively showed, by micropuncture techniques, how the kidney handles potassium. And it was again at Cornell, in a later sojourn as Visiting Scientist, that Professor Malnic began his long and fruitful studies on the renal handling of hydrogen ion.Gerhard Malnic was born in Italy, of Austrian parents. In 1956, he became a citizen of Brazil, where he received his medical training. In the intervening thirty years, he has become a leader in South American physiology and science. He has served as Secretary–General of the Latin American Association of Physiological Sciences and as President of the Brazilian Physiological Society, and he is a member of the Academies of Sciences of both Brazil and Latin America. Currently, he holds the position of Professor and Chair of the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at the University of Sao Paulo.Professor Malnic's work on the renal handling of hydrogen ion has progressed from a methodical description of acidification along the nephron to exploring the detailed mechanisms that govern the tubular secretion of hydrogen ion. It is the latter aspect that formed the major topic of his Robert F. Pitts Lecture.Heinz Valtin Chair, Renal Commission Previous Robert F.

Thematization of Alterity in Christa Wolf\u27s \u3cem\u3eNachdenken über Christa T.\u3c/em\u3e
No full textIn this article I will attempt to interpret Christa Wolf\u27s novel Nachdenken über Christa T. (Quest for Christa T.) as a thematization of alterity. This concept will allow me to show thematic as well as structural resemblances between Christa Wolf\u27s novel and other contemporary German fiction. I believe that similar traits could be found in other literatures. The Latin American novel — Cortazar\u27s Rayuela (Hopscotch), for example — and the French nouveau roman seem to be characterized by an alteristic narrative strategy. The principle of alterity, however, is not limited in its function to literature and thereby to literary criticism and the didactics of literature. It seems to be operative in many areas of today\u27s wissenschaften and to underlie certain critical stances in psychology, sociology, and philosophy — particularly in epistemology and hermeneutics — to a lesser degree in the natural sciences
