Musical Form, Forms & Formenlehre

Music

Music

Three Methodological Reflections William E. Caplin, James Hepokoski and James Webster Edited by Pieter Bergé

In Musical Form, Forms & Formenlehre: Three Methodological Reflections, three eminent music theorists consider the fundamentals of musical form.

They discuss how to analyze form in music and question the relevance of analytical theories and methods in general. They illustrate their basic concepts and concerns by offering some concrete analyses of works by Mozart (Idomeneo Overture, Jupiter Symphony) and Beethoven (First Symphony, Pastoral Symphony, Egmont Overture, and Die Ruinen von Athen Overture).

The volume is divided into three parts, focusing on Caplin’s “theory of formal functions,” Hepokoski’s concept of “dialogic form,” and Webster’s method of “multivalent analysis” respectively. Each part begins with an essay by one of the three authors. Subsequently, the two opposing authors comment on issues and analyses they consider to be problematic or underdeveloped, in a style that ranges from the gently critical to the overtly polemical. Finally, the author of the initial essay is given the opportunity to respond to the comments and to refine further his own fundamental ideas on musical form. william e. caplin is James McGill Professor of Music Theory at McGill University.

He is the author of Classical Form.

New Paths, the seventh volume in the Writings of the Orpheus Institute, is a result of the third International Orpheus Academy for Music Theory.

Five renowned scholars discuss a variety of topics related to romanticism, focusing especially on the years 1800–1840. In a much-needed historical and critical overview of the concept of organicism, John Neubauer ranges from its origins in Enlightenment biology to its aftermath in postmodernism. Janet Schmalfeldt shows that Beethoven’s op.47 not only should be called the Bridgetower rather than the Kreutzer Sonata, but also that this makes a difference as to its meaning. Extreme contrasts between emotional and mechanical types of music in late Beethoven are explained

by Scott Burnham as stagings of the limits of human subjectivity. Jim Samson discusses Chopin’s little-known musical upbringing in Warsaw, arguing that his grounding in eighteenth-century aesthetics (as opposed to theory) has thus far been neglected. Finally, Susan Youens’ case study of Franz Lachner’s Heine songs sheds new light on radical experimentation by a so-called epigone in the period between Schubert and Schumann’s miracle song year.

Questions concerning music and its inextricably intertwined and complex interface with time continue to fascinate musicians and scholars.

For performers, the primary perception of music is arguably the way in which it unfolds in ‘real time’; while for composers a work appears ‘whole and entire’, with the presence of the score having the potential to compress, and even eliminate, the perception of time as ‘passing’.

The paradoxical relationship between these two perspectives, and the subtle mediations at the interface between them with which both performers and composers engage, form the subject matter of this collection of studies. The various contributors address the temporal significance of specific topics such as notation, tempo, metre and rhythm within broader contexts of performance, composition, aesthetics and philosophy. The aim is to present novel ideas about music and time that provide particular insight into musical practice and the world of artistic research.

Predicting the Past

Nineteenth-Century Anglophone Literature in the Low Countries

The Paradoxes of American Literary History

Tom Toremans & Walter Verschueren (eds)

Michael Boyden

Crossing Cultures is the first publication of the Centre for European Reception Studies (ceres , formerly the Centre for the Study of English Literatures in Dutch Translation), based at Hogeschool-Universiteit Brussel. It brings together both established and young scholars in the field of reception and translation studies to chart the individual and institutional agencies that determined the reception of Anglophone authors in the Dutch and Belgian literary fields in the course of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century. Rather than aspiring a comprehensive survey, which in the face of the sheer wealth and complexity of nineteenth-century cultural life is bound to fall short, the aim of this collection is to offer a variety of angles from which nineteenthcentury literary dynamics in the Low Countries can be studied. The first two parts discuss the reception of Anglophone literature in the Netherlands and Belgium, respectively, while the third part focuses exclusively on the Dutch translation of women writers.

Drawing from the social theories of Niklas Luhmann and Mary Douglas, Predicting the Past advocates a reflexive understanding of the paradoxical institutional dynamic of American literary history as a professional discipline and field of study. Contrary to most disciplinary accounts, Michael Boyden resists the utopian impulse to offer supposedly definitive solutions for the legitimation crises besetting American literature studies by “going beyond” its inherited racist, classist, and sexist underpinnings. Approaching the existence of the American literary tradition as a typically modern problem generating diverse but functionally equivalent solutions, Boyden argues how its peculiarity does not, as is often supposed, reside in its restrictive exclusivity but rather in its massive inclusivity which drives it to constantly revert to a self-negating “beyond” perspective. Predicting the Past covers a broad range of both well-known and lesser known literary histories and reference works, from Rufus Griswold’s 1847 Prose Writers of America to Sacvan Bercovitch’s monumental Cambridge History of American Literature. Throughout, Boyden focuses on particular themes and topics illustrating the selfinduced complexity of American literary history such as the early “Anglocentric” roots theories of American literature; the debate on contemporary authors in the age of naturalism; the plurilingual ethnocentrism of the pioneer Americanists of the mid-twentieth century; and the genealogical misrepresentation of founding figures such as Jonathan Edwards, Emily Dickinson, and Robert Lowell.

Spanish Humanism on the Verge of the Picaresque

Essais de langue et de littérature françaises du moyen âge

Edited with introduction, translation, and notes by Warren S. Smith & Clark Colahan

The 16th-century humanist Juan Maldonado in his Latin essays foreshadows the Spanish picaresque. Like Erasmus, with whom he corresponded, Maldonado advocated the use of Latin in a wide-range of activities. Maldonado’s Pastor Bonus, a lengthy open letter to a bishop, reviews in a vivid and satirical style the abuses of the churchmen in his diocese. His Ludus chartarum is framed as a colloquium similar to Vives’ on the subject, entertaining while teaching a Latin terminology for card playing. His Bacchanalia, written for student actors, is a spirited play pitting the forces of Lent against those of Bacchus, as in the Libro de buen amor. These works have been edited and translated into English by Warren Smith and Clark Colahan for the first time, with illustrations of scenes from each work, and of 16th-century cards, by Richard Simmons and Caleb Smith. € 49,50 isbn 978 90 5867 708 2

Ce volume regroupe huit contributions consacrées à la langue et la littérature françaises du moyen âge. Elles sont le reflet d’une journée d’étude organisée en l’honneur du professeur émérite Willy Van Hoecke, dont la passion pour la linguistique diachronique et la littérature médiévale françaises lui a fait développer des techniques d’édition critique à partir des oeuvres de Baudouin de Condé, technique qu’il appliquera aussi à l’édition de la Rectorique de Marc Tulles Cyceron, une traduction de deux traités de rhétorique latins réalisée par Jean d’Antioche à la fin du 13e siècle. Il mettra aussi au point une méthode pour l’étude empirique de l’évolution de la langue par le biais de traductions. Les études rassemblées en son honneur portent sur divers sujets: la phraséologie historique, des auteurs médiévaux, certaines figures littéraires, des destinataires de la littérature médiévale, des types particuliers de textes littéraires, et certains liens entre la littérature en moyen néerlandais et celle de l’ancien français.

This volume gathers eight contributions regarding the French medieval language and literature. They are a selection of papers presented during a colloquium organized in honor of Prof. Emeritus Willy Van Hoecke, whose passion for French diachronic linguistics and medieval literature has driven him to develop some techniques for critical text edition, applied to the oeuvre of Baudouin de Condé, techniques which he also used for the edition of Jean d’Antioche’s Rectorique de Marc Tulles Cyceron. The papers collected here regard a variety of subjects: historical phraseology, medieval authors, some specific literary characters, addressees of medieval literature, certain types of literary texts, and the relationship between Middle Dutch and Old French literature. michèle goyens is full Professor of French diachronic linguistics at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven.

Fluid Flesh

Art

The Body, Religion and the Visual Arts Barbara Baert (ed.)

How do we relate the body we have and the bodies we see to the mind, or to the soul? Fluid Flesh addresses the relationship between the body, religion, and the visual arts, which is one of both love and tension.

Are we able (and allowed) to think of the divine in a corporeal way?

Isn’t artistic expression, which originated from both the human mind and body, intrinsically a bodily matter?

Featuring an introduction from James Elkins, Fluid Flesh covers an array of topics including the visual as a spiritual medium today; iconophilia and iconoclasm in the past and present; the human body, religion and contemporary lifestyles; and premodern and postmodern perspectives on anatomy and the visual arts. Several authors address the presentation of the human form in Christian art and ask whether the body may be present in religious art even without figuration.

The authors highlight the intertwined and powerful roles of both the image and the body within a contemporary culture that has seemingly devalued language (in favor of the image) and has renewed a ‘sinful’ conception of the body as in constant need of improvement.

Collected Studies on Francisco Suarez SJ (1548–1617)

An Interpretation with Commentary

By John P. Doyle

Geert Roskam

M.W.F. Stone (ed.)

The question of the political relevance of philosophy, and of the role which the philosopher should play in the government of his state, was often discussed in Antiquity. Plato’s ideal of the philosopher-king is well-known, but was precisely his failure to realise his political ideal in Syracuse not the best argument against the philosopher’s political engagement?

Nevertheless, Plato’s ideal remained attractive for later Greek thinkers.

This is illustrated, for instance, by one of Plutarch’s short political works, in which he tries to demonstrate that the philosopher should especially associate with powerful rulers, because he can in this way exert the greatest positive influence on his society and at the same time maximise his personal pleasure.

This study provides a thorough analysis of Plutarch’s Maxime cum principibus philosopho esse disserendum. A lengthy general introduction deals with the author and the text and discusses each step in Plutarch’s argumentation in detail. A systematic lemmatic commentary then provides a systematic complement to the previous analysis of the work, dealing with many problems of textual criticism, explaining all kinds of realia, and discussing a great number of passages through parallels from Plutarch’s own œuvre and from other authors.

English

Of all the major philosophers from the late medieval and early modern periods, the work of the Jesuit Francisco Suarez (1548–1617) has been largely ignored by English-speaking scholars. A notable exception to this trend is the work of the American scholar John P. Doyle, whose ground-breaking studies of several important areas of Suarez’s imposing yet highly original system of scholasticism have helped to make the Jesuit’s ideas tractable and accessible to successive generations of historians of philosophy. The fruit of over forty years of labour, this volume collects together Doyle’s most important articles on the philosophical theology metaphysics, ethics, and legal philosophy of Suarez, and is prefaced by an introductory chapter that places the Jesuit’s life and thought in context.

The volume is a fitting and timely tribute to a scholar whose selfless and sympathetic concern with the ideas and Suarez have served the cause of Suarezian scholarship with great distinction. john p. doyle is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Saint Louis University and Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at Kenrick-Glennon Seminary in Shrewsbury, Missouri, usa.

The Maritain Factor

Cultural History

Cultural History

Taking Religion into Interwar Modernism Rajesh Heynickx & Jan De Maeyer (eds)

By studying the reception and perception of the French Catholic philosopher Jacques Maritain, this book argues that European modernist artists and intellectuals sought a primordial finality in Catholicism. The French poet, writer, and surrealist filmmaker Jean Cocteau converted under the influence of Maritain. For the painters Gino Severini, a pioneer of Futurism, and Otto Van Rees, one of the first Dadaists — both converts — Maritain played the role of spiritual counselor. And when the promoter of abstract art Michel Seuphor embraced Catholic faith in the 1930s, he, too, had extensive contact with Maritain. For all of them, the dictum of the Irish poet Brian Coffey, once a doctoral student under Maritain, applied: modern art needs a Thomist conceptual framework. However, the contributions in The Maritain Factor also show that, besides admiration, Maritain provoked irritation with his theories. Walter Benjamin for example, could only look at Maritain as a charlatan who was out to place modern art under the glass bell jar of Catholicism. The authors demonstrate that Catholic thought was not just one aspect of the manifold varieties of modernist discourses and practices, but in fact offered a basis to organize and structure this multiplicity in the 1920s and 1930s.

L’étude de l’origine, de la variabilité et du comportement des hommes anatomiquement modernes a fait l’objet de recherches intenses durant deux périodes distinctes de l'évolution humaines: celle des stades isotopiques 6 et 5e avec les plus anciens hommes modernes en Afrique et au Proche-Orient; et celle des stades isotopiques 2 et 1 avec l’expansion des hommes modernes dans toutes les parties du monde. Une des périodes clef pour comprendre l’évolution complexe d’Homo sapiens est celle du stade isotopique 3. Cependant, peu de restes humains complets ont été exhumés pour cette période, ce qui limite la connaissance de la diversité passée des hommes modernes du Pléistocène supérieur. Le spécimens de Nazlet Khater 2 (nk 2) représente le plus ancien squelette complet d’homme moderne adulte du Nord de l’Afrique. Il a été découvert en 1980 dans la vallée du Nil (Egypte) lors des fouilles du Belgian Middle Egypt Prehistoric Project. L’étude de ce spécimen offre une opportunité unique d’accroître notre connaissance de la variabilité des hommes modernes durant cette époque (ois 3).

The study of modern human origin, variation and behaviour focused mainly on two distinct periods: the oxygen isotopic stages OIS 6 and 5e with the oldest anatomically modern human remains from Africa and the Middle East and the oxygen isotopic stages 2 and 1 with the expansion of modern humans all over the world. One of the key periods to try to understand the complex evolution of Homo sapiens is the oxygen isotopic stage 3. However, few complete human remains are known for this period which limits the knowledge of the Upper Pleistocene modern human variation. The Nazlet Khater 2 (NK 2) human remains represent the oldest OIS 3 complete modern human skeleton from Northern Africa. It was discovered in 1980 near Tahta in Upper Egypt by the Belgian Middle Egypt Prehistoric Project (BMEPP).

The study of this specimen provides an opportunity to increase our understanding of modern human variation during this time period (OIS 3).

De nominale constituent is een onderbelicht domein van de syntaxis, zeker in de historische taalkunde. Dat is niet terecht, want over de syntactische bouw ervan is men het lang niet eens, en de veranderingen die zich in de loop van de geschiedenis hebben voorgedaan, zijn talrijk.

In dit boek wordt geargumenteerd dat achter die diverse veranderingen een grote tendens schuilgaat: de Nederlandse nominale constituent is het resultaat van een eeuwenlang proces van stapsgewijze uitbreiding ter linkerzijde met een aantal duidelijk onderscheiden kavels (‘slots’) in het voorveld. Deze visie laat toe een aantal ogenschijnlijk heel uiteenlopende taalveranderingen samenhangend te verklaren.

Het onderzoek strekt zich uit over verschillende eeuwen taalgeschiedenis. De klemtoon ligt uiteraard op het Oud-, Middel- en Nieuwnederlands, maar waar mogelijk wordt nog verder teruggegaan, tot de gereconstrueerde fasen van het Proto-Germaans en het Proto-Indo-Europees.

In de argumentatie worden data uit verschillende talen betrokken – onder andere Hittitisch, Sanskriet, Grieks, Latijn, Gotisch, Oudengels, Oudhoogduits – en er wordt gebruik gemaakt van allerhande technieken, van theoretisch onderzoek tot kwantitatief corpusonderzoek. Verder wordt er ook uitvoerig verwezen naar de bestaande internationale vakliteratuur.

Foreword by André Leysen

Wat doen wetenschappers echt? Doet hun werk ertoe? Waarnaar zijn ze op zoek? Waarover denken ze na? De Lessen voor de XXIste eeuw brengen al 15 jaar wetenschap naar een breder publiek. Een blik op de thema’s toont meteen dat geen enkel onderwerp te heet of te licht is om over te communiceren: het evolutie-debat of de welvaartsstaat, lerende machines of geluk, sportcenten of ecologie in China …. De teksten in dit boek zijn de neerslag van de publieke lessen die jaarlijks aan de K.U.Leuven worden georganiseerd. Wie wil weten hoe biologen, filosofen, sociologen, medici, juristen of medici denken, wat hen bezighoudt en hoe ze hun activiteiten proberen voor te stellen aan een publiek, vindt in deze publicatie een betrouwbare gids. De teksten uit dit boek bieden stuk voor stuk informatie uit de eerste hand, zijn toegankelijk en nodigen uit om verder op verkenning te gaan. € 34,50

Dedicated to increasing our knowledge and awareness of the evergrowing diversity and pluralism of global society, Forum A. & A. Leysen has initiated a debate/lecture series, with a focus on Islam in today’s world and in Europe in particular. Well-known influential authorities — each an active participant in the public debate on the global role of Islam past, present and future — presented papers at the several Intercultural Relations meetings sponsored by Forum A.& A. Leysen.

These important contributions, on the topic Islam and Europe: Crises are Challenges, are collected in this volume.

Although each contributor speaks from his own distinctive point of view, a common message emerges from the texts: only dialogue — on the one hand between the West (countries that manifest themselves as Western Democratic constitutional states) and Islam, and on the other hand within and among societies historically identified with Islam — will overcome entrenched confrontation and negative animosity, engender new possibilities and understandings, and, by encouraging free and critical thinking, pave the way to social equity and the scientific innovation that, potentially, can lead to more prosperity. In the course of the meetings all talks led to fascinating debates. This book includes the papers presented during the period January 2008 to January 2009.

Although the question of how to actually construct the dialogue remains unsettled, this ground-breaking book takes a giant step toward an answer. with contributions by Ahmed Aboutaleb, Durre S.
