Abstract:

Steve Reich est un compositeur d'apparence simple. Derrière cette évidence de la forme et des éléments qui la composent se cache la complexité: l'ambiguïté est érigée en système. Ainsi, le processus qui est, a priori, implacable, inexorable, réserve toujours une part de surprises. Par le déphasage graduel, on perd quelque peu pied. Les motifs résultants montrent la virtualité de la musique reichienne. Et que dire de cette attraction/répulsion pour l'électronique. Un trait essentiel de la création de Reich à partir de 1976 est la notion de cycles d'accords: ceux-ci exposés dès le début sont sup

Abstract:

The compositions of Steve Reich and György Ligeti both contain periodic rhythmic structures. Although periods are not usually easily perceived, the listener may perceive their combinations in a hierarchy of rhythmic structures. This document is an attempt to develop an analytical method that can account for this hierarchy in periodic music. I begin with an overview of the features of Reich's and Ligeti's music that contribute to the property of periodicity. I follow with a discussion of the music and writings of Olivier Messiaen as a precedent for the periodic structures in the music of Reich

Humaniste convaincu, Spielberg n'en reste pas moins obsédé par l'inhumain - sous les dehors du non humain, de la négation de l'homme et du dépassement de ce dernier - il déploie une diversité des figures de l'inhumanité.

District surgeons render clinical forensic services, which means that they deal mainly with detainees and victims of crime. The main functions of district surgeons are the collection of forensic evidence from patients and the care of detainees. So the focus is to assist in the administration of justice rather than improvement of patient wellbeing. The district surgeon may therefore find himself in a situation where patients’ interests are

La répétition musicale se distribue selon bien des modalités et se dit en une pluralité de sens. Les œuvres « se répètent » différemment, et les répétitions structurelles qu’elles convoquent n’ont pas toutes le même statut. Le disque et la musique pour bande dupliquent des objets issus d’une même matrice ; l’interprétation d’une œuvre et la variation sur un thème itèrent des gestes conformément à une structure. Ainsi peut-on considérer que les différents faire musicaux connaissent des régimes de répétabilité différenciés. On peut alors cerner l’efficace esthétique de ces manières de répéter. L

This research aims to illuminate how and why war challenges the limits of poetic representation, through an analysis of non-combatant poetry of the Second World War.

With a historicist approach, this thesis advances our understanding of both the Second World War, and our inherited notio

Abstract:

The presence of human destitution, impoverishment and degradation in the midst of plenty has puzzled social thinkers for millennia. One of the oldest and grandest of theories: the theory of ideology attempts to provide an answer to the puzzle of domination in society. Michael Rosen, in his book On Voluntary Servitude (1996), argues that the solution provided by the theory of ideology is problematic. Furthermore, on the basis of his critique, Rosen argues that we should abandon the theory of ideology and consider alternatives to it. Even though many contemporary academics have turned away from

Abstract:

It is a central claim of modern linguistic theory that linguists do not prescribe, but describe language as it is, without pronouncing on correctness or judging one variety better than another. This attempt to exclude evaluation is motivated by a desire to be ' politically correct', which hinders objective analysis of language, and by an ill-advised imitation of the natural sciences, which obstructs the discipline's progress towards becoming a science in its own right. It involves linguists, as users of a valued variety, in self-deception and disingenuousness, distances them from the concerns

On April 1, 1976, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak entered into a partnership agreement to found Apple Computer. In the decade that followed, Apple experienced remarkable growth and success, as Jobs catapulted Apple to the Fortune 500 list of top‐flight companies faster than any other company in history. Under direction of Jobs, Apple, an idea that started in a garage, transformed into a major force in the computer industry of the 1980s. Though Jobs' leadership undoubtedly influenced Apple’s success during this time, in 1995, he was forced to resign, when conflicts mounted at the executive level.

My dissertation addresses this gap in the literature and shows how music’s spatial effects arise through an affective engagement with musical works.

Biko neutralised apartheid racism and traditional white liberalism by affirming all aspects of blackness as positive values in themselves, and by locating racism as a white constr
