Philosophies of Performance
View details
Annotation: In the years 2008-2009 The Finnish Academy of Sciences funded a research project entitled PHILOSOPHIES OF PERFORMANCE - Finnish music, art and avant-garde. The project focused on temporal, i.e. performing arts, their background philosophies and signifying processes. The empirical material was mostly about Finnish art. Yet, the idea was to develop also "universal" theoretical models relevant to other traditions and fields. Music served as the core phenomenon but it was also scrutinised in its intertextual connections. This anthology offers some results but also contributions from other scholars whom the project stimulated. The authors are Aurea Dominiguez, Joan Grimalt, Sergio Lanza, Otto Lehto, Grisell Macdonel Dario Martinelli, Bogumila Mika, Lina Navickaté-Martinelli, Pärttyli Rinne, Filip Sikorski, Eero Tarasti, Juha Torvinen, Alessia R. Vitale and Nayden Yotof.

- Analysis and Interpretation of Brazilian Pagode
View details
Annotation: Live Samba takes as its main topic the pagode movement, which apperead in the 1980s as a re-invention of the samba tradition. Deeply grounded in the most idiosyncratic musical patterns of samba, pagode countered the hegemony of the samba-schools and their media appeal. Pagode, too, became a major commercial success. It appeared in a transitional period, at the moment the music industry was shifting its focus towards lowe classes of the population. As a result, pagode and other local-based styles led the way to a recoinfiguration of Brazilian music. The transitional nature of this moment is reflected in the ambivalent nature of tpagode meanings. Those meanings were firmly attached to the local sphere, while at the same time open to communocation with translocal levels. In Live Samba, the author analyses pagode as a practice comprising both musical traits and symbolic associations with other spheres of Brazilian culture. The book looks at pagode songs through the frames of the samba tradition, of Brazilian society, of the commodity environment, and of musical signification, and it provides an introductory survey of samba and of the Brazilian music indurstry.

Les Universaux en musique
View details
Other title information: Actes du quatrième Congrès international sur la signification musicale
Annotation: L'opportunité et la valeur des textes rassemblés ici se reconnaissent à l'universalité des grands thèmes abordés, à leur diversité cohérente, à l'écho qu'ils donnent aux circonstances musicales mondiales actuelles. Les problèmes de la signification musicale sont permanents à travers toute l'histoire de la création et de l'interprétation, en ce que la musique ne se donnerait qu'à elle-même signification. Cependant, la présence, aussi évidente qu'apparemment insaisissable, d'une pensée musicale intime au compositeur, interne à l'œuvre, demeure par là même une fascination de tout auditeur, mais aussi la gageure presque utopique de toute analyse. Ces problèmes sollicitent donc une recherche et une lutte constantes pour tenter de reconnaître ou du moins d'approcher cette signification, à la lumière des démarches et clartés nouvelles. La signification musicale appelle d'urgence notre attention et se pose des problèmes nouveaux, bien au-delà de ceux des analyses traditionnelles. On saisira qu'une telle mutation des données ait appelé une vision nouvelle des Universaux qui règnent sur l'essence même d'un art organiquement, consubstantiellement uni à la perception pure et à la Connaissance. Ouvrage publié avec le concours du Centre national du livre et de Poly-Art international.
