    Music - Media - History

    Music and sound shape the emotional content of audio-visual media and carry different meanings. This volume considers audio-visual material as a primary source for historiography. By analyzing how the same sounds are used in different media contexts at different times, the contributors intend to challenge the linear perspective of (music) history based on canonic authority. The book discusses AV-Documents (analysis in context), methodological questions (implications for research, education, and popularization of knowledge), archives of cultural memory (from the perspective of Cultural Studies) as well as digitalization and its consequences (organization of knowledge)

    From Faking It to Making It: The Art of Cultural Adaptation in the Caribbean

    Get PDF
    This dissertation investigates tendencies of cultural negotiation and adaptation within a Caribbean context. Appropriately, it examines adapted texts, such as novel to film or biography to musical, and looks at sociocultural adaptive mechanisms as a means of coping with a colonial past and neocolonial present. Through my analyses of a variety of original texts and their visual adaptations, I map evolving cross-cultural perceptions of race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, and cultural exploitation. While drawing theories from Adaptation Studies, I aim to promote a more inclusive, well-rounded logic of how cultural discourses in the Caribbean gain strength and are reified in culture

    The Theatre of Adrian Hall

    Full text link
    The topic of this study is the American stage director, Adrian Hall, who has been the artistic director of the Trinity Repertory Company in Providence, Rhode Island, since 1964 and who has held the same position concurrently at the Dallas Theater Center in Texas since 1983. Part 1 presents an historical overview of Hall\u27s career, beginning with his first professional productions in Texas, continuing through his work Off-Broadway in New York in the 1950s, and covering his quarter-century at Trinity Rep and six seasons at Dallas. This segment of the study traces how Hall developed the principles that inform his process as a director, especially his premise that the theatre event is a confrontation between the actor and the audience. Part 2 examines Hall\u27s process in the rehearsal room in each of four functional areas to assess how his emphasis on the confrontation between the actor and the spectator shapes his day-to-day directing technique. One major production is analyzed in each area to demonstrate (1) how this director perceives and utilizes the dramatic text, (2) how he manipulates the actor-audience relationship in the theatrical space, (3) how he works with his permanent acting ensembles to interpret the text through the style of performance and (4) how he collaborates with designers to incorporate the elements of lighting, costumes, properties and set pieces, sound, music and special effects. The productions selected for study include All the King\u27s Men (text), Cathedral of Ice (space), Mensch Meier (actors), and Brother to Dragons (production values). Secondary examples are cited from numerous other productions. A case study of Hall\u27s production of The Tempest at the Dallas Theater Center demonstrates Hall\u27s whole process during a single production. The research into Hall\u27s career is supported by direct observation of Hall\u27s rehearsals and by personal interviews the author had with Hall and with the actors, designers and other colleagues who have worked with him throughout his career. The appendix provides a comprehensive history of Hall\u27s professional productions, including dates, theatres and designers
