    This is an Author's Accepted Manuscript of an article published in Digital Creativity, 23(3-4), 225 - 238, 2012. Copyright @ 2012 Taylor & Francis, available online at: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/14626268.2012.709941.Assisted by the rapid growth of digital technology, which has enhanced its ambitions, performance is an increasingly popular area of artistic practice. This article seeks to contextualise this within two methodologically divergent yet complimentary intellectual tendencies. The first is the work of the philosopher Merleau-Ponty, who recognised that our experience of the world has an inescapably ‘embodied’ quality, not reducible to mental accounts, which can be vicariously extended through specific instrumentation. The second is the developing field of neuroaesthetics; that is, neurological research directed towards the analysis, in brain-functional terms, of our experiences of objects and events which are culturally deemed to be of artistic significance. I will argue that both these contexts offer promising approaches to interpreting developments in contemporary performance, which has achieved critical recognition without much antecedent theoretical support

    RDA : Catalog Discovery Tool

    As part of the practicum experience, the practicum student focused on collection management, reference, and cataloging at the University of Chicago's Regenstein Library under the supervisor of music bibliographer Scott Landvatter and music cataloger Kevin Kishimoto. Collection management, reference, and cataloging are essential core competencies of a library and are especially critical in managing a library’s music collection. This paper focuses on “music cataloging,” an area that the student concentrated on during the second half of the practicum. The first half of the practicum was mostly based on music collection management, particularly preservation and reference. As a result of the experiences during this practicum (within the three month period), the student acknowledges that a library in which librarians possess cataloging skills has a significant impact on improving the public’s view of records. Understanding the challenges that arise in cataloging and having an awareness of best practices in dealing with these challenges can significantly enhance the level of service that a librarian can provide to library patrons. Within the cataloging scope, this paper's primary emphasis is to show how Resource Description and Access (RDA) that is the new data formulating system today, changed the public's view of the library catalog. Looking behind catalogs' scenes, understanding how information is recorded in these catalogs, and knowing the kind of information they contain made it possible for this student to understand providing better access to library users

    New 3,4-seco ent-kaurenes from Croton caracasana flowers

    Get PDF
    Two new 3,4-seco- ent-kaurenes, caracasine (1) and caracasine acid (2), were isolated from non-polar extracts of the flowers of Croton caracasana (Euphorbiaceae), together with six known terpenes, stigmasterol (4), stigmastenone (5), 2,6-dimethylocta-3,7-diene-2, 6-diol (6), spathulenol (7), caryophyllene oxide (8), and aromadendrene (9), and the flavonoid tribuloside (10). The chemical structures were determined by spectroscopic means and chemical correlations. All isolated compounds are being described for the first time for this species

    Semantic Technologies for Manuscript Descriptions — Concepts and Visions

    The contribution at hand relates recent developments in the area of the World Wide Web to codicological research. In the last number of years, an informational extension of the internet has been discussed and extensively researched: the Semantic Web. It has already been applied in many areas, including digital information processing of cultural heritage data. The Semantic Web facilitates the organisation and linking of data across websites, according to a given semantic structure. Software can then process this structural and semantic information to extract further knowledge. In the area of codicological research, many institutions are making efforts to improve the online availability of handwritten codices. If these resources could also employ Semantic Web techniques, considerable research potential could be unleashed. However, data acquisition from less structured data sources will be problematic. In particular, data stemming from unstructured sources needs to be made accessible to SemanticWeb tools through information extraction techniques. In the area of museum research, the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CRM) has been widely examined and is being adopted successfully. The CRM translates well to Semantic Web research, and its concentration on contextualization of objects could support approaches in codicological research. Further concepts for the creation and management of bibliographic coherences and structured vocabularies related to the CRM will be considered in this chapter. Finally, a user scenario showing all processing steps in their context will be elaborated on
