Interpretation and performance of three orchestral compositions by Gabriela Lena Frank: Escaramuza, Elegia Andian, and Three Latin American Dances
No full textThis work presents interpretative and performance suggestions for three of Gabriela Lena Frank’s orchestral works: Escaramuza (2010), Elegia Andina (2000), and Three Latin American Dances (2004). Frank’s compositions frequently include programmatic elements that reference other well-known compositions, and she incorporates melodies, rhythms, timbres, instrumentation, and performance techniques characteristic of her Peruvian cultural heritage. Examples of these elements are presented from a lecture recital format to demonstrate how performance practice and conducting decisions—in rehearsal and performance—can be utilized to honor the composer’s expressed intent and overcome various technical ensemble and conducting challenges. An overview of the cultural contextual elements includes Harawi and Kachampa dance structures. The author also suggests methods for presenting elements that affect the timbre and instrumental scoring specific to each work, for example the Andean Zampoña. This research provides performers with a resource to deepen their score study, and seeks to inspire more people to perform the music of Gabriela Lena Frank.D. A
Mediterranean UNESCO World Heritage at risk from coastal flooding and erosion due to sea-level rise
Full text linkUNESCO World Heritage sites (WHS) located in coastal areas are increasingly at risk from coastal hazards due to sea-level rise. In this study we assess Mediterranean cultural WHS at risk from coastal flooding and erosion under four sea-level rise scenarios until 2100. Based on the analysis of spatially explicit WHS data, we develop an index-based approach that allows for ranking WHS at risk from 15 both coastal hazards. Here we show that of 49 cultural WHS located in low-lying coastal areas of the Mediterranean, 37 are at risk from a 100-year flood and 42 from coastal erosion, already today. Until 2100, flood risk may increase by 50 % and erosion risk by 13 % across the region, with considerably higher increases at individual WHS. Our results provide a first-order assessment of where adaptation is most urgently needed and can support policymakers in steering local-scale research to devise suitable adaptation strategies for each WHS

Cladal Divergence in Fungal Ophiognomonia (Gnomoniaceae, Diaporthales) Shows Evidence of Climatic Niche Vicariance
No full textWe used the globally widespread genus Ophiognomonia as a model system to investigate climatic niche patterns in fungi, characterizing the climatic profiles of 28 species with seven temperature and seven precipitation variables. Using a novel version of Spatial Evolutionary and Ecological Vicariance Analysis (SEEVA), designed to deal with continuous and correlated variables, we examined well-sampled phyletic splits of a multi-gene phylogeny. We evaluated the degree to which phyletic divergence has been associated with climatic niche divergence between sister lineages, permitting elucidation of climatic associations in evolutionary context. From the 14 inter-correlated climatic variables, we extracted four principal axes, accounting for 93.2% of the climatic variation, with axes broadly labeled as: polarity, tropicality, winter mildness, and aridity. We also analyzed the two single variables maximum monthly temperature and precipitation. We detected climatic associations that were compatible with both niche-conservatism and niche-divergence within the phylogeny, and different cladistic bifurcations associated with different climatic splits. As might have been anticipated, geographic separation (or lack thereof) of phylogenetic splits was correlated with climate niche divergence (or conservation). This elaborated SEEVA method provides a visual and statistically solid basis for characterizing climatic niche divergence that should prove useful for elucidation of many other taxonomic groups.Peer reviewe

Le stanze della memoria di Lena Constante
No full textMuovendo dai volumi di memorie The silent escape e The impossible escape di Lena Constante, il contributo cercherà di dimostrare come il luogo dell’evasione silenziosa sia uno spazio altro, eterotopico, nei termini proposti da M. Foucault. In particolare, si mostrerà come la costruzione di questo spazio si fondi su due condizioni esterne imprescindibili: la solitudine e il silenzio.Starting from Lena Constante’s memoirs The silent escape and The impossible escape, this contribution will try to discuss how the space of a “silent breakout” is an other, heterotopic space as in M. Foucault’s propositions. The Author will explain in particular how the construction of such a space is conditioned by two essential factors: solitude and silence
