She also earned a career achievement award from Romantic Times magazine and has been interviewed on both television and radio and quoted in Reader\u27s Digest
The Lieder of Emilie Mayer (1812-1883)
No full textabstract: ABSTRACT
Emilie Mayer (1812-1883) was a prolific composer whose musical works, which encompassed eight symphonies, four overtures, an opera, dozens of sonatas, eight string quartets, solo piano works, and nearly 130 songs for solo voice or vocal quartet, were performed in the foremost concert halls in Berlin and across Germany. She studied with lauded teachers: Carl Loewe (1796-1869), Adolph Bernhard Marx (1795-1866), and Wilhelm Wieprecht (1802-1872). Her talent was applauded by audiences and critics wrote favorably, despite their reservations about women composers. However, even with this unusual pedigree, Mayer’s works nearly disappeared from concert stages after her death. How did this happen? This study aims to answer this question and will delve into Emilie Mayer’s life and works in context with the prejudices against female composers at the time, in order to determine how those biases have shaped the classical canon. Included is an in-depth stylistic analysis of Mayer’s surviving seven Lieder, along-side comparisons to similar works of other composers. In addition, appendices present Mayer’s remaining Lieder in a new, modernized edition, with selected songs transposed for better accessibility for lower voices. Relative lack of female representation in modern-day concert halls and music history books correlates to previous misconceptions of female composers. Studying the works of Emilie Mayer will support her addition to the classical repertoire, help correct the male-gendered canon that persists, and help modern female composers realize their history is not confined to a footnote.Dissertation/ThesisDoctoral Dissertation Music 202
Experimental Mathematics applied to the STUDY OF NON-LINEAR RECURRENCES
No full textIn this thesis we study three topics within the broad fi eld of nonlinear recurrences. First we will consider global asymptotic stability in rational recurrences. A recurrence is globally asymptotically stable when the sequence it produces converges to an equilibrium solution given any initial conditions. Up to now, this topic has not been studied from an algorithmic perspective. We develop an algorithm that takes as input a rational recurrence relation conjectured to be globally asymptotically stable, and, if it is, outputs a rigorous proof of its stability. We apply this algorithm to many speci c rational recurrences. Secondly, we study a three-parameter family of rational recurrences that produce sequences of integers. We apply two methods to prove the integrality of these sequences. We fi rst show that some of the sequences also satisfy a linear recurrence. In order to establish integrality of the entire family we make use of the Laurent phenomenon. Finally, we develop a new concept that generalizes the notion of a recurrence. Instead of producing a single sequence, we produce in finitely many sequences from one set of initial conditions. We will study two families of this type of generalized recurrences that produce rational numbers when complex numbers are expected. We also observe exponential sequences being produced by some of these generalized recurrences.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Emilie Ann Hoga
The Production of Meaning, Economy and Politics. Intercultural Relations, Conflicts, Appropriations, Articulations and Transformations
No full textThe work of Nestor Garcia Canclini was, and still is, an important source of inspiration and learning for research in Latin America. In this article by Daniel Mato and translated by Emilie Dupuits, the author comments on some key aspects of his work that are of particular importance and usefulness for contemporary social research. The title of this post tries to name synthetically some of these aspects, or, more accurately, his interpretation of them
A Black Feminist Interpretation: Reading Life, Pedagogy, and Emilie
No full textAbstract
This article examines the ways in which black feminism—as a concept, an applied theory, and a safety net—functions as a critical social theory designed to assist students in understanding the multiple ways that black and brown women are marginalized through institutionalized structures and practices. Drawing heavily upon the work of Patricia Hill Collins, this article defines and explains black feminist critical pedagogy arguing that it is a critical knowledge project that generates knowledge and creates theories that allow for analysis, critique, and evaluation of how black women are situated as social agents in society. Using the pocket diaries of Emilie Frances Davis, a 19th century freeborn woman, as both a teaching tool and a forensic historical investigatory tool, students will examine the ideas of black feminism and actively apply it as a lens to interpret essays, articles, video clips, and music lyrics. The lesson plan is also designed to provide students with foundational exposure and meaning making experiences in black feminist thought as research tool and as a system of thought for reading and interpreting texts and the social world. Additionally, this essay includes a second lesson plan developed by Karsonya Wise Whitehead (the author of Notes from a Colored Girl) that builds upon the author’s work to apply a black feminist lens to the work of Emilie Frances Davis.</jats:p
‘Look Again’: Indeterminacy and Contemporary British Drama
No full textThe integration into conceptual art of techniques inspired by Fluxus (the international aggregate of artists who saw indeterminacy as imaginatively and linguistically enabling) has, in turn, given rise to a specific line in British playwriting since the mid-1990s, as evidenced in plays by Martin Crimp, Sarah Kane, and Tim Crouch which gesture towards conceptual art, performance art, and the event score. In this article Emilie Morin brings to light the affinities between this artistic moment in contemporary British theatre and the international avant-garde. She discusses the shared interest of Crimp, Kane, and Crouch in indeterminacy and the fusion between artistic media, paying particular attention to Crouch's redefinition of the status of the modern artwork in his play for galleries England (2007). Critical recognition of the experimental mode in which these playwrights operate has remained subsumed under a non-specific appreciation of their relationship to conceptual art, leaving important questions of form and legacy unaddressed. Here, the proximity between this marginal trend in British playwriting and developments in experimental music and performance art exploring ideas of indeterminacy is highlighted, and the contemporary problematization of performance as event and concept is reconfigured in relation to the legacies of Marcel Duchamp, John Cage, and Fluxus. Emilie Morin is Lecturer in the Department of English and Related Literature at the University of York and the author of Samuel Beckett and the Problem of Irishness (Palgrave Macmillan, 2009). Her research interests lie in European modernism and the avant-garde.</jats:p
Fotografier i Emilie Demant Hatts bok Med Lapperne i Højfjeldet: Fotografiske møter, biografiske inskripsjoner og "våre" historier
No full textArtikkelen utforsker fotografier tatt av den danske kunstneren, fotografen og forfatteren Emilie Demant Hatt
(1873–1958). Fotografiene ble første gang publisert i 1913 i boka Med lapperne i højfjeldet. Gjennom ulike perspektiver
på bildene viser artikkelen hvordan det er mulig å se forbi den koloniale «overflaten» til bilder tatt av denne periodens
reisende og etnografer, og hvordan repatriering og kunstneriske reappropriasjoner kan aktivere bildenes innhold på
nye måter.
This article explores photographs taken by the Danish artist, photographer and author Emilie Demant Hatt
(1873–1958), first published in 1913 in the book Med Lapperne i Højfjeldet. Taking on different perspectives, these
images show how it is possible to look behind the colonial «surface» of images taken by former ethnographers and
travellers, and how repatriation and artistic reappropriations can activate the images’ content in new ways
G. F. Watts
No full textG. F. Watts was one of the major artistic figures of the nineteenth century. In this work published in 1905, only a year after Watts' death, Emilie Barrington (1841–1933) reflects on the close friendship she and her husband had with the renowned artist. Her aim in writing her volume of reminiscences was to accurately record her knowledge of Watts' life. She describes her first impressions, when she first met him in Dante Gabriel Rossetti's studio. Chapters also cover Watts' aims as an artist, his relationships and his genius. This fascinating book is highly illustrated throughout, including Watts' sketches, symbolical paintings and portraits. The reader will gain an intriguing insight into the life and work of this complex character, widely considered to be the greatest painter of the Victorian age.

Photoelectric Detection and Quantum Readout of Nitrogen‐Vacancy Center Spin States in Diamond
No full textA novel method for reading out the electron spin state of the negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV) point defect in diamond, based on photoelectric detection of NV magnetic resonances (PDMR), is reviewed. As a convenient way to measure the spin state of qubits, the presented technique is anticipated to lead to a vast range of applications in the field of quantum technologies. It has been demonstrated that this method can be used both in continuous-wave mode and for the pulse readout of coherently manipulated NV- spins. The PDMR technique presents interesting advantages over the commonly used optical detection of magnetic resonances (ODMR) and was recently downscaled to the reading out of a single NV- spin qubit. The principles, current developments, advantages, and drawbacks of PDMR are presented in this progress report. A complete to-date methodology of NV photoelectric readout is described and PDMR is compared to ODMR. Future developments and possible improvements of the technique are mentioned. The results of the latest studies, aiming at overcoming limitations in the PDMR contrast through a better understanding of NV photo-physics and of charge exchanges between NV centers and other electrically active defects, are discussed.This work was supported by the Grant Agency of the Czech Republic (project number 16-16336S), the FWO project DIAQUANT (S004018N), the FWO project G0E7417N, the QUANTERA project Q-Magine (R-8843), and the EU project ASTERIQS (820394).
