The revocalization of logos? Thinking, doing and disseminating voice

PublishedArticleThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Intellect via the DOI in this record.As a specific object of interest for philosophy, the human voice is grasped within a system of signification that subordinates speech to the concept. It is in the traditional dualism between the vocal/aural and the conceptual/seen that Cavarero postulates the de-vocalization of logos, the dichotomy between embodied phonation and critical enquiry. Her remarks invite further probing of the pedagogy and creative praxis of voice: how do we conceptualize voicing? How does voice emerge from and reflect back to its discursive domains? How can we bridge the chasm between the ontology and epistemology of voice? How do we think, do and disseminate voice? In reflecting on these concerns, our overall aspiration is to propose a new paradigm for practice as research (PaR) education in Voice Studies

On-site customer analytics and reporting (OSCAR):a portable clinical data warehouse for the in-house linking of hospital and telehealth data

This document conveys the results of the On-Site Customer Analytics and Reporting (OSCAR) project. This nine-month project started on January 2014 and was conducted at Philips Research in the Chronic Disease Management group as part of the H2H Analytics Project. Philips has access to telehealth data from their Philips Motiva tele-monitoring and other services. Previous projects within Philips Re-search provided a data warehouse for Motiva data and a proof-of-concept (DACTyL) solution that demonstrated the linking of hospital and Motiva data and subsequent reporting. Severe limitations with the DACTyL solution resulted in the initiation of OSCAR. A very important one was the unwillingness of hospitals to share personal patient data outside their premises due to stringent privacy policies, while at the same time patient personal data is required in order to link the hospital data with the Motiva data. Equally important is the fact that DACTyL considered the use of only Motiva as a telehealth source and only a single input interface for the hospitals. OSCAR was initiated to propose a suitable architecture and develop a prototype solution, in contrast to the proof-of-concept DACTyL, with the twofold aim to overcome the limitations of DACTyL in order to be deployed in a real-life hospital environment and to expand the scope to an extensible solution that can be used in the future for multiple telehealth services and multiple hospital environments. In the course of the project, a software solution was designed and consequently deployed in the form of a virtual machine. The solution implements a data warehouse that links and hosts the collected hospital and telehealth data. Hospital data are collected with the use of a modular service oriented data collection component by exposing web services described in WSDL that accept configurable XML data messages. ETL processes propagate the data, link, and load it on the OS-CAR data warehouse. Automated reporting is achieved using dash-boards that provide insight into the data stored in the data warehouse. Furthermore, the linked data is available for export to Philips Re-search in de-identified format

Singing From Stones: Physiovocality and Gardzienice's Theatre of Musicality

This is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from OUP via the DOI in this record.Wlodzimierz Staniewski, director of the Polish Centre for Theatre Practices Gardzienice, considers directing as a praxis pertaining to the field of musical composition. His pieces have been theorised as either “ethno-oratoria” or “village operas,” while the pedagogy developed by the group is a territory for the exploration of the tensions between the physical and the vocal. Building on my recent fieldwork with the company, this chapter problematizes the separation of vocality and choreographic/movement practices in performer training and uses Gardzienice’s example as a case study in physiovocality. Meanwhile, the core principles of Staniewski’s work, namely mutuality, musicality and chorality, are analyzed as points of departure from music theaters towards a theater of musicality
