Feminist Literary Criticism And The Author, Cheryl Walker Jan 1990

Feminist Literary Criticism And The Author, Cheryl Walker

Scripps Faculty Publications and Research

In the course of this essay I wish to reopen the (never fully closed) question of whether it is advisable to speak of the author, or of what Foucault calls "the author function," when querying a text, and I wish to reopen it precisely at the site where feminist criticism and post-structuralism are presently engaged in dialogue. Here in particular we might expect that reasons for rejecting author erasure would appear. However, theoretically informed feminist critics have recently found themselves tempted to agree with Barthes, Foucault, and the Edward Said of Beginnings that the authorial presence is best set aside …

Southern Harmony Singing: A Tradition Of Shape-Note Practice, Deborah C. Loftis Jan 1990

Southern Harmony Singing: A Tradition Of Shape-Note Practice, Deborah C. Loftis

Performance Practice Review

The singers use the 1854 edition of The Southern harmony and musical companion compiled by William Walker. Distinctions set Southern Harmony singing apart from what is described as the norm for this style of music, that is, the performance practices associated with Sacred Harp singing. Differences include seating arrangement, expertise, and style of conducting, intensity of singing, sonority, and preference in repertoire. Southern Harmony singers have tried to continue the tradition without change; Sacred Harp singers have embraced changes willingly.


The Trio Sonata In Pre-Corellian Prints: When Does 3 = 4?, Sandra Mangsen Jan 1990

The Trio Sonata In Pre-Corellian Prints: When Does 3 = 4?, Sandra Mangsen

Performance Practice Review

Printed sources of pre-Corellian trios include several distinct scorings, one of which requires four performers (SSBbc). Particular scorings correlate with musical style and function. Melodic bass and chordal continuo were employed in the church sonata; one or the other in the dance repertoire. Moreover, the stronger the contrapuntal role of the bass part, the more likely it was to be played on a melodic instrument. After 1660, sacred and secular scoring practices became less distinct. Increasingly active dance bass lines were more often figured, while chordal and melodic bass parts of church sonatas became nearly identical.
