L’Amour, la fantasia (1985) d'Assia Djebar et La Joueuse de go (2001) de Shan Sa ont en commun de décrire deux sociétés sous le joug colonial, l'Algérie sous occupation française et la Mandchourie sous occupation japonaise, mais aussi de s'interroger sur la place de la femme indigène dans ces dernières. En effet, la nature du clivage dans lequel s’inscrit la femme indigène est double : par rapport à la société coloniale d’une part et par rapport à la place qui lui est allouée au sein de sa société et culture d’origine d’autre part. Cette bipolarité est apparente au sein des romans à l’étude, à la fois au niveau de la forme, notamment à travers une narration où la dualité occupe une place centrale, mais aussi au niveau du fond. La fiction, qui a ici pour cadre de référence des événements historiques réels, devient ainsi, selon nous, le lieu d'articulation d’un féminisme transculturel et transnational s'inscrivant hors du continuum colonial des idées.

This article is the first of a series that focuses on the history of computer-assisted music analysis. This first article discusses the philosophical basis of computer-assisted music analysis, i.e. the application of information theory to aesthetics, as well as representative applications of statistical and information-theoretical measurements to music analysis and other computational approaches to music analysis that did not include the use of electronic computers. In most cases, those approaches were direct models for computer-assisted applications. Finally, this article provides a short historical account of the development of early computers and summarizes the earliest computer-applications to music analysis, carried out during the 1950s.

espanolIntroduccion. La violencia contra las mujeres por parte de los hombres es una forma de reafirmar la masculinidad e imponer su hegemonia a traves de la fuerza.

Em conferência intitulada “The Master’s Tool Will Never Dismantle The Master’s House” (1984), a escritora afro-americana Audre Lorde declara ser preciso forjar novas ferramentas que contribuam para a desconstrução do racismo que, historicamente, subalterniza diversos grupos sociais. Partindo dessa proposta, utilizamos o referencial da Análise do Discurso de Maingueneau e Bakhtin, especialmente a linguagem-intervenção, e o conceito de Bassnett e Lefevere de tradução como reescrita para refletir sobre os efeitos de subjetividade em traduções que, por serem produzidas por pessoas que fazem parte de grupos marginalizados, têm a possibilidade de subverter a lógica das traduções realizadas por grandes editoras. Dessa forma, analisamos a tradução do referido discurso de Lorde para a língua portuguesa feita por Tatiana Nascimento — mulher, negra e lésbica —, com o objetivo discutir novas possibilidades de construção de realidades e subjetividades que podem ser produzidas a partir do que cha...

Die Analyse der ersten zehn Minuten einer audio aufgezeichneten psychoanalytischen Sitzung fuhrt zu der Entdeckung und Beschreibung einer psychoanalytischen Prozedur, die wir als »Tanz der Einsicht« bezeichnen. Die Sitzung ist nach den Standards der Konversationsanalyse transkribiert und wird auf drei Ebenen analysiert. Zunachst kommt eine klinische Analyse zu dem Ergebnis, dass die Analytikerin bei zwei Gelegenheiten ihre Gesprachsposition verandert; sie spricht, als ware sie die Patientin. Die klinische Perspektive bringt diese Beobachtung mit dem Konzept der Modellszene und dem methodischen Prinzip der »Komplettierung der Szene« in Beziehung und einigen weiteren Befunden der Sauglingsforschung. Zum zweiten lasst sich mit den Mitteln der Konversationsanalyse erkennen, wie die Therapeutin dies Manover ausfuhrt und wie die Patientin darauf reagiert. Diese Analyse beschreibt detailliert die »slots«, an denen ein solches Manover auf naturliche und ungekunstelte Weise ausgefuhrt wird. ...

This paper reviews the achievements of Abbott Handerson Thayer (1849-1921), an American painter and naturalist whose pioneering writings on animal camouflage addressed shared concerns among artists, zoologists and military tacticians. It discusses his beliefs about camouflage (both natural and military) in the context of his training as an artist, with particular emphasis on three of his major ideas: countershading, ruptive (or disruptive) coloration and background picturing.

Els folkloristes estonians han creat diverses bases de dades en local, a més d’un parell de desenes de bases de dades en línia per facilitar la tasca de la recerca i incrementar l’accessibilitat al material d’arxiu. Aquest treball proporciona una visió general de quatre bases de dades en línia gestionades pels investigadors dels Arxius de Folklore d’Estònia: cançons rúniques, el folklore local, jocs infantils i rondalles. D’una banda, aquestes bases de dades es poden fer servir per a finalitats de recerca i per preparar textos per ser publicats; de l’altra, poden ser d’interès per a molta altra gent no especialitzada. Tenint en compte que s’han preparat durant un llarg període de temps i que algunes s’han elaborat a partir d’una base de dades en local, els principis que regeixen el funcionament poden ser diferents.

Cet article décrit de façon critique le recours aux théories de l’attachement comme fondement de la loi en matière de protection de la jeunesse. Il situe ces théories dans leur contexte historique et montre en quoi elles s’inscrivent dans un mouvement contestable de naturalisation des rapports humains.

This article presents a comparison of three Charles-X-style jewelry caskets bearing First Empire decorative motifs designed by the renowned French silversmith Jean-Baptiste Claude Odiot (1763-1850) from drawings made by the painter Pierre-Paul Prud’hon (1758-1823) and by the stucco artisan Adrien Louis-Marie Cavelier (1785-1867). The designs for the caskets took as their inspiration drawings of an ‘ensemble de toilette’ commissioned in 1810 for Empress Marie-Louise for her bedroom in the Château de Fontainebleau. The three jewel caskets discussed in this essay display slight variations with respect to the ‘ensemble de toilette’ commissioned for Marie-Louise.

The antiquity of drugs makes them contemporary and parallel to artistic manifestations such as literature. The incidence of these substances in literary creation overcomes borders and boundaries, temporal, spatial and linguistic but almost always shares the same characteristic: a marked subversive and marginal character. In this way, from them it is possible to think of similarities in the literary conception of the authors who consume them, and therefore, also in their works. Starting from this idea, this work will have as main objective to analyze the repercussion of these substances in the poetry of Allen Ginsberg and Lois Pereiro in order to test the existence of literary similarities between the two authors.

El texto presenta una introduccion a los debates sobre los museos etnologicos en la ultima decada, mostrando la evolucion de los modelos aparecidos en la nueva museologia en la actualidad. Analiza la evolucion de los museos al aire libre, de los ecomuseos, de los museos de sintesis y presenta renovaciones museologicas como la museologia critica, los museos de civilizacion, los economuseos y las polemicas sostenidas a raiz de la inauguracion del Museo Quai Branly y de los proyectos de Museo de la Civilizacion de Europa y la Mediterranea y el Museo des Confluences. El autor considera que despues de una cierta crisis de los museos etnologicos, los nuevos proyectos suponen un reto importante para el relanzamiento de los nuevos museos etnologicos, que forzosamente deberan reinventarse a traves de formulas innovadoras e interdisciplinarias.

In the spring of 2007 we staged an ecological performance piece throughout the American Southwest entitled 28 days. As an art collaboration of two, based in Brooklyn, NY, we had been engaged in a series of projects that responded to forces (tides, wind, light, time) that compose urban landscapes and human environments. We had used media such as photography and video, and signaling devices such as orange flagging tape, to make these forces visible and palpable. We had been contextualizing our work within ideas associated with relational aesthetics. We felt the urgency to draw connections among natural and social/cultural forces that extend across great distances and shape vastly different landscapes and built environments. We invented 28 days as a way to expose our bodies and imaginations directly to sites and moments at which natural and constructed spheres of intensity come vividly and critically into play. We would pause at each apex to feel the reality of relation. We would make ...

From Christian Dior to Yves Saint Laurent and Alexander McQueen, many of the greatest fashion designers of the past century have been gay. Fashion and style have played an important role within the LGBTQ community, as well, even as early as the 18th century. This provocative book looks at the history of fashion through a queer lens, examining high fashion as a site of gay cultural production and exploring the aesthetic sensibilities and unconventional dress of LGBTQ people, especially since the 1950s, to demonstrate the centrality of gay culture to the creation of modern fashion. Contributions by some of the world's most acclaimed scholars of gay history and fashion -- including Christopher Breward, Shaun Cole, Vicki Karaminas, Jonathan D. Katz, Peter McNeil, and Elizabeth Wilson -- investigate topics such as the context in which key designers' lives and works form part of a broader "gay" history; the "archeology" of queer attire back to the homosexual un...

In the 1983 film Carmen, Carlos Saura creatively refashions Merimee's novella and Bizet's opera into an exciting new rendering of the Carmen myth. The foundation of this film rests on Merimee's narrative, which Saura admires for having the ability to convey a passionate love that still seems as fresh and expressive as it was in its own day (52). Since Saura views the plot modifications introduced in Bizet's opera as being a betrayal of Merimee's novella (55), he ignores the opera's story line and concentrates instead on its music, which he describes as being very beautiful, truly inspired, and having moments that are both extraordinary and unforgettable (56). This double heritage of Merimee's plot and Bizet's music provides the context within which Saura is able to introduce yet another art form-dancethrough the brilliant choreography of Antonio Gades.1 Upon its release, this film was critically hailed as a flamenco version of the Carmen story. It is ...

The tradition in the study of art-history adopted the style to set different period terms. Besides, an evolutionary conception in history associated each style to a different age. This way of simplifying provoked a series of misunderstandings and was eventually a hindrance to the pluralism in each age. Briefly, various scholars split the arts in the Eighteenth Century in two main branches, the first one (ideally set in the first half of the century) called “rococo”, the second one “neoclassical”. However, in the last three decades a significant minority expressed harsh critics to this classification.
