Gratzer, Wolfgang. Is Listening to Music an Art in Itself—or Not? Edited by Christian Thorau and Hansjakob Ziemer. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780190466961.013.22.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter discusses features of the extensively used attribution “art of listening” in contexts of therapy, partially New Age–like capacity building, sociology, and music. The second section comments on the relationship between music listening and music appreciation. The key assumption discussed is that understanding (described as a process of relating oneself to something or somebody) unfolds as activities that can be increased respectively between four poles: creating meaning, making music, generating emotion, and deepening reflection. Finally, the chapter returns to the question: Is listening to music an art—or not? Agreeing with Adam Heinrich Müller’s assumption that “the art of listening” stands for creating meaning autonomously, this question is answered in the affirmative.

Full textAbstract:
The emergence of program notes and concert guidebooks in the second half of the nineteenth century in Europe and North America are symptoms of a culture of listening that shows many structural similarities between the practice of concert-goers and tourists. This chapter develops the cultural-historical argument that the tourist’s mode of discovering and appropriating the world established patterns of behavior that would soon enough make their entry into concert halls and opera houses. By analyzing the shared features between music listening and tourism, special focus has to be given to the markers that announce, promote, and explain the “musical sight.” Characteristic for the new auditory paradigm of “touristic listening” is a practical, work-focused knowledge that frames, guides, and canonizes the listening experience.

Full textAbstract:
Listening to music is an everyday experience for most people. In music therapy music listening can be used to support many therapeutic goals. This chapter presents an overview of methods used in receptive music therapy that are supported by research literature, including music-assisted relaxation, music and imagery, and Guided Imagery and Music (Bonny Method). Salient features of each approach are outlined and supported with evidence-based research. Elements of music used in relaxation and imagery are discussed in some further depth to highlight the need for greater transparency when reporting the effect of recorded and live music in receptive music therapy.

Melamed, Daniel R. Listening to Parody in the Mass in B Minor. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190881054.003.0002.
Full textAbstract:
Writings about Johann Sebastian Bach’s Mass in B Minor are dominated by discussions of parody, the origin of most of the Mass in music Bach had composed for other texts and purposes. There are reasons to study parody, but it arguably has little to do with the experience of hearing the work. A focus on parody can lead to fallacious understanding, mistaking the work’s genesis for its meaning, or imagining we can divine the composer’s intent. The suspicion or knowledge of parody appears to help us understand the Mass but actually does not. Audible musical features, including those that point to particular kinds of compositions, can be informative but not because they point to parody. Some movements behave in unconventional ways. These are often related to the parody process, but we do not need to invoke parody to understand how they contribute to the work’s effect. Parody is probably overrated.

Franklin, M. I. Sampling Politics. Oxford University Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190855475.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
This book is an exploration of the geocultural politics of music sampling. Each chapter delves into one case study—a track, or larger work—from the inside out by starting with the samples that are at the heart of the work. The objective is to unpack how sampled and sampling material work together in light of shifts in the political, economic, and sociocultural contexts of their making, distribution, and reception since. Considering sampling as a material of music, not simply a digital technique or restricted to one sort of music making, addresses an under-explored dimension in studies of the relationship between music (any sort) and politics of the day (usually progressive, social movements). This is a tendency to concentrate on the lyrics as where all the political meaning lies. But this overlooks how sampling, or borrowing from the music made by others, even one’s own, can also be a political act even when this is not the intention. Based on extensive archival research, close-listening musical analysis, and interviews with artists or their estates, each study provides ways to listen, hear (again), and so learn more about how each piece, as sampled and sampling music making, work, on its own musico-cultural terms. Some errors in the public record, misperceptions about some of the works and artists who feature, are corrected in light of debates over the creative, legal, and cultural legacy of music sampling as either “borrowing,” “appropriation,” or even “theft.”

Sybert, Virginia P. Genetic Skin Disorders. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/med/9780190276478.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
This book is a readable, reliable guide to the diagnosis and differential of inherited skin disorders to which generalists, paediatricians, dermatologists, and geneticists can refer during an examination. The new edition reflects the most up-to-date understanding of the molecular and genetic bases of heritable skin diseases. Each chapter describes the signs and symptoms of heritable skin diseases and enumerates pertinent associated clinical features and differential diagnoses. Non-dermatological signs are symptoms round out the information on each condition. Where appropriate, descriptions of histopathology at both the light and electron microscopic levels are included. Over 800 full-colour photographs illustrate the concepts discussed in the text. Annotated bibliographies at the end of each section direct readers to more extensive sources, and an updated listing of support groups for patients and their families supplements the resources for medical professionals.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter provides a clinical description of ultrasound physics tailored to provide the practitioner a solid background for optimal imaging and needle guidance technique during regional anesthesia. Important ultrasound characteristics are covered, including optimization of ultrasound images, transducer selection, and features found on most point-of-care systems. In-plane and out-of-plane needle guidance techniques and a three-step process for visualizing in-plane needle insertions are presented. Next, common artifacts and errors including attenuation, dropout, and intraneural injection are covered, along with clinical solutions to overcome these inaccuracies. Preparation details are reviewed to make the regional anesthesia procedures as reproducible and safe as possible. Also included are a practical review of peripheral nerve block catheter placement principles, an appendix listing what blocks may be used for what surgeries, and seven Keys to Ultrasound Success that can make ultrasound guided regional anesthesia understandable and clinically feasible for all practitioners.

Winner, Ellen. Can This Be Art? Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190863357.003.0002.
Full textAbstract:
While philosophers have tried to define art by necessary and sufficient features, this effort has failed. Art is a socially constructed, open concept that eludes formal definition. While art cannot be tightly defined, we can loosely define art by listing possible characteristics of works of art—recognizing that this list must remain an open one. We may not be able define art, but philosophers and psychologists together have revealed the difference between observing something with or without an aesthetic attitude. While any artifact may be used as a work of art, we respond differently to that artifact when we believe it is was created intentionally as a work of art rather than a non-art artifact. We adopt an aesthetic attitude, paying attention to the surface form and the expressive properties of the object. This conclusion is consistent with Kant’s idea of the aesthetic attitude being a form of disinterested contemplation.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter focuses on how to conduct a psychiatric interview. While adhering to the basic medical model, the psychiatric interview has four additional essential and distinguishing features: a psychological perspective, empathic listening, particular attention to the physician’s emotional responses, and a focus on the interview process. Two relatively common challenges to history taking are the disorganized patient and the difficult-to-engage patient. It is particularly important that physicians conducting psychiatric interviews maintain a professional stance that is empathic, respectful, and curious..

Weinberg, Jonathan M. Intuitions. Edited by Herman Cappelen, Tamar Szabó Gendler, and John Hawthorne. Oxford University Press, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199668779.013.25.
Full textAbstract:
This article examines the philosophical methodology of intuitions beginning with an argument developed by Max Deutsch and Herman Cappelen over the descriptive adequacy of what Cappelen calls “methodological rationalism”, and their own preferred view, “intuition nihilism”. Based on inadequacies in both accounts, it offers a descriptive take on intuition-deploying philosophical practice today via what it calls “Protean Crypto-Rationalism”. It then describes the epistemic profile of the appeal to intuition, listing four key aspects of the basic shape of intuition-deploying philosophical practice: primacy of cases, flexibility of report format, freedom of stipulation, and interpretation-hungry. It also considers several sources of error for intuitions featured in at least the informal methodological lore of philosophy, namely: misconstruals, modal confusions, pragmatics/semantics confusion, and “tin ear”. Finally, it explores the problem of methodological ignorance and inferential demand, particularly the typical practices of philosophical inference that operate on the premises delivered by appeal to intuitions.

Full textAbstract:
The centrality of the doctor–patient relationship in medicine is highlighted. Its inalterable central feature is the complementarity of one who needs healing with the other whose function is to heal. Various taxonomies and models that have been proposed to describe this relationship are presented. It is suggested that the basis of the clinical relationship can be understood by considering the conceptual differences between a contract and a covenant. The point is made that there is no universally accepted gold standard for an ideal doctor–patient relationship; the relationship should accommodate differing personal values and beliefs. The nature of attentive listening, and its crucial role in establishing and maintaining a relationship, is discussed.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines Merata Mita’s Mauri, the first fiction feature film in the world to be solely written and directed by an indigenous woman, as an example of “Fourth Cinema” – that is, a form of filmmaking that aims to create, produce, and transmit the stories of indigenous people, and in their own image – showing how Mita presents the coming-of-age story of a Māori girl who grows into an understanding of the spiritual dimension of the relationship of her people to the natural world, and to the ancestors who have preceded them. The discussion demonstrates how the film adopts storytelling procedures that reflect a distinctively Māori view of time and are designed to signify the presence of the mauri (or life force) in the Māori world.

Full textAbstract:
Despite strong evidence over time of the clinical, psychological, and emotional benefits of strong doctor-patient relationships, these relationships are transforming quickly due to a “new normal” within health care delivery of de-emphasizing patient contact with the physician; using disruptive innovations that emphasize transactional speed and convenience in service delivery; and pressures exerted by external forces like the overuse of performance metrics. Strong doctor-patient relationships are characterized by dyadic interactions over time that feature high degrees of trust, empathy, listening, and emotional support. As the notion of “relationship” in health care moves from doctor-patient to organization-patient, it is important to gain insights about the present and future of relational care through the voices of doctors and patients describing their interactional experiences, and how these experiences shape their thinking and behavior with respect to each other.

Full textAbstract:
This article begins with an overview of Arabic second-language acquisition (SLA) research. It discusses some SLA theories; the distancing of SLA research and theory from the traditional applied linguistics fields of methodology and teacher training; and major issues in current Arabic SLA research, which center on the development of skills in both primary and secondary discourses and efforts to balance these in formal and informal learning environments. The article then reviews published studies in Arabic SLA. This is followed by a discussion of five strands of research that distinguish themselves in the analysis of Arabic SLA: (1) studies on reading comprehension and word recognition; (2) listening comprehension; (3) learning strategies; (4) attitude and motivation; and (5) acquisition order of morphosyntactic features.

Full textAbstract:
Sino-French Trade at Canton, 1698–1842 fills a gap in Canton Trade scholarship with this new account of France’s near century-and-a-half experience in that trade. From the distinctive features of the Sino-French trade model to vessels and sea routes, from the physical environment of the Pearl River Delta and the structure of the French hongs in Canton to the daily life of traders, the author draws on both French and other archival sources to bring the history to life, and challenges a number of common assumptions about both the French experience and the Canton Trade in the process. The French were early to engage in direct trade at Canton, and their movements were closely watched by their rivals; in addition, their contributions to the trade were both significant and diverse, ranging from the cultural to the nautical. The French East India Company, which was the product of an absolute monarchy, was distinctive for the dominant role played in its operations by the state. Yet this did not prevent legitimate private trade from playing a sometimes surprising role. Written in a reader-friendly style, Sino-French Trade at Canton, 1698–1842 will appeal to audiences interested in the Canton Trade, early modern Chinese history, shipping history, and cross-cultural encounters. Appendices provide a list of all known French voyages between 1698 and 1842, as well as a listing of French return cargoes from China in 1766.

Full textAbstract:
Teaching healthcare professionals how to be close readers assures that they can listen with attention and empathy to what their patients tell them. The close reader pays attention to such narrative features as temporality, narrative situation, voice, metaphor, and mood. This chapter describes the origins of close reading in the 1920s and its subsequent contentious development within literary studies. It describes the salience of the skills learned from close reading for the practice of narrative medicine. The chapter examines such consequences of close reading as relationship-building among learners and individual awareness of the interior processes of the reader. Close reading helps narrative medicine to achieve its goals of justice in healthcare, participatory practice, egalitarian learning, and deep relationships in practice. With the benefit of the capacities learned in close reading, clinicians and their patients can face the unknown, tolerating the ambiguity that always surrounds illness.

Bonds, Mark Evan. The Beethoven Syndrome. Oxford University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190068479.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
The “Beethoven syndrome” is the inclination of listeners to hear music as the projection of a composer’s inner self. Beethoven’s music was a catalyst for this change, but only in retrospect, for it was not until after his death that listeners began to hear composers in general—not just Beethoven—in their works, particularly in their instrumental music. The Beethoven Syndrome: Hearing Music as Autobiography traces the rise, fall, and persistence of this mode of listening from the middle of the eighteenth century to the present. Prior to 1830, composers and audiences alike operated within a framework of rhetoric, in which the burden of intelligibility lay squarely on the composer, whose task it was to move listeners in a calculated way. Expression was thought of as an objective construct with a purpose. But through a confluence of musical, philosophical, social, and economic changes, the framework of rhetoric gave way to a framework of hermeneutics. Under the paradigm of expressive subjectivity, concert-goers no longer perceived composers as orators but as oracles to be deciphered. The aesthetics of “New Objectivity” around 1920 marked a return not only to certain stylistic features of eighteenth-century music but to the earlier concept of expression itself. Objectivity would go on to become the cornerstone of the high-modernist aesthetic that dominated the century’s middle decades. Perceptions of compositional subjectivity have nevertheless endured in surprising ways, and we find ourselves today in an era of dual and often conflicting paradigms.

Full textAbstract:
With a focus on music, this book outlines what improvisation is and why it is an important creative and social activity. Drawing on the emerging psychological literature in this area, as well as evidence from authors’ research with musicians, this text outlines innovative ideas on what defines improvisation and the psychological, creative, and social processes involved. It explores the role of specialist skills, the importance of musical identities and the nature of understanding in improvised interaction and between improvisers. It discusses how we develop as improvisers and the role of improvisation within therapeutic applications of music. Each chapter proceeds from discussion of an illustrative instance of musical improvisation. Providing fresh and provocative insights for anyone interested in playing, studying, teaching, or listening to improvised music, the authors offer suggestions for approaching this practice in new ways at any level, and identify potential developments in cross-disciplinary improvising. Asserting that everyone can and should improvise, the book provides a resource for courses teaching improvisation in contemporary practice, and has strong relevance for those applying musical improvisation in community and therapeutic contexts. The book deals with such questions as: What constitutes improvisation? Do all forms of improvisation represent the same thing? Faced with myriad possibilities, how do improvisers decide what to play? How does an improviser in a group know what the others will do? How might improvisation influence our well-being? In response to such questions, a definition of improvisation based on its unique behavioural features is set out as an exciting context for psychological investigation.
