And the cloister was opened to the century: Pedro Zulen and the Bibliographic Bulletin of the Library of San Marcos (1923-1924)

En 1923, Pedro Zulen (1898-1925) fundó el Boletín bibliográfico de la Biblioteca de la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos. La publicación del boletín fue resultado de la modernización de la biblioteca impulsada por el rector Manuel Vicente Villarán y conducida por Zulen quien publicó los quince números del primer volumen, que se cierra en 1924. En esos dos años volcó su talento intelectual y editorial en el boletín e hizo de él una publicación académica reconocida a nivel internacional. En esa tarea, él se desempeñó como el puente entre dos generaciones. Dirigió, sobre todo, a un grupo de estudiantes que había salido de la adolescencia durante el movimiento de la Reforma Universitaria. Ellos se consolidaron intelectualmente, como colectivo, en las tareas de la publicación del Boletín. Este grupo, de la Generación del Centenario, tuvo después un destacado papel en la vida intelectual peruana del siglo XX.In 1923 Pedro Zulen (1898-1925) founded the Library of San Marcos’ Boletín Bibliográfico.  The  publication  of  this  journal  was  the  result  of  the modernization of the library stimulated by Rector Manuel Vicente Villarán and carried out by Zulen, who published the first volume of the Boletín Bibliográfico (15 issues, 1923-1924).

Experiencing Multiple Realities: Alfred Schutz’s Sociology of the Finite Provinces of Meaning

This book offers a theoretical investigation into the general problem of reality as a multiplicity of ‘finite provinces of meaning’, as developed in the work of Alfred Schutz. A critical introduction to Schutz’s sociology of multiple realities as well as a sympathetic re-reading and reconstruction of his project, Experiencing Multiple Realities traces the genesis and implications of this concept in Schutz’s writings before presenting an analysis of various ways in which it can shed light on major sociological problems, such as social action, social time, social space, identity, or narrativity

Ego-Splitting and the Transcendental Subject. Kant’s Original Insight and Husserl’s Reappraisal

In this paper, I contend that there are at least two essential traits that commonly define being an I: self-identity and self-consciousness. I argue that they bear quite an odd relation to each other in the sense that self-consciousness seems to jeopardize self-identity. My main concern is to elucidate this issue within the range of the transcendental philosophies of Immanuel Kant and Edmund Husserl. In the first section, I shall briefly consider Kant’s own rendition of the problem of the Egosplitting. My reading of the Kantian texts reveals that Kant himself was aware of this phenomenon but eventually deems it an unexplainable fact. The second part of the paper tackles the same problematic from the standpoint of Husserlian phenomenology. What Husserl’s extensive analyses on this topic bring to light is that the phenomenon of the Ego-splitting constitutes the bedrock not only of his thought but also of every philosophy that works within the framework of transcendental thinking

Sonification as Semblance: A PHENOMENOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION INTO MUSIC COMPOSITION

Audification, sonification, musification, auditory display — audio realisation of non-audio data is itself phenomenological, it is as Heidegger (1926) states: “to let that which shows itself to be seen from itself in the very way in which it shows itself from itself,” and it is precisely when the phenomena is “uncovered” that questions begin to form with regards to the process of sonification’s status within creative arts practice. Rigour of method within a sonification facilitates a realisation that is prescript: method as composition, instruction as notation and adherence as realisation. Whilst finding congruence with algorithmic composition, within musical praxis sonification is isolated. Internality of the subsequently realised sound or music is not only absent, realised sound or music as perceivable externality can be described as functional so far as it contains data, in which case the qualities of a sonification are arguably “cheesecake”. Qualitative compositional decisions — for example, wherein sound or music that exists first as heard within internal consciousness (as with Husserlian “phantasy”) is brought forth as perceivable externality, or wherein sonic intention (as opposed to the internal heard) is met through definition and completion of algorithmic construct — are discounted in favour of integrity of process toward quantifiable outcome. This is to say: sonification is an objective creative praxis; success of a sonification is quantifiable, it is measured against representational accuracy. However, as a music practitioner, I seek to embed my practice within quantifiable accuracy of sonification only to subsequently liberate qualitative compositional decisions. Within this paper it is not intended to conclude sonification as quantifiable, as applied science, rather: through practice-informed phenomenological investigation, the qualities within sonification practice are sought. As consequence of investigative sonification practice, temporality is given specific address, and interrogation of compositional miniatures is referenced in order to critically and reflectively evaluate temporality as of essence to music’s inherent qualitative attributes, whilst simultaneously considering the substantial difference in existential and temporal status between audio and corporeal spatial occupancy in terms of their homogeneity. Subsequently, the paper is indicative of a requirement for further study of sonification within creative music practice, and it speculates as to the affect upon composition as consequence of orientation of sonified objects within the same spatial environment, thus: sonification of occupant corporeal spatial occupancies, or, phrased simply: the compositional potential of multiple sonifications
