Hibridaciones Corpóreas: Los “Ejemplares Raros” De Botánica Del Caos De Ana María Shua, Ilka Kressner Jan 2009

Hibridaciones Corpóreas: Los “Ejemplares Raros” De Botánica Del Caos De Ana María Shua, Ilka Kressner

Languages, Literatures and Cultures Faculty Scholarship

Los cuerpos humanos, sus procesos paulatinos y cambios repentinos, sus misterios, espantos y goces forman una tematica central en la narrativa de Ana Maria Shua. En casi todas sus novelas, cuentos y mini-cuentos, la fabuladora argentina nos invita a asistir a espectaculos textuales de lo corporeo en transformacion--a menudo ilogicos, semi-surrealistas, grotescos y exuberantes. Sus protagonistas transitorios enfrentan aventuras proteticas que cuestionan tanto las diferenciaciones sexuales como las taxonomias de diferentes especies como las categorizaciones de lo humano, lo animal y lo botanico. Hasta refutan la division entre lo animado y lo inanimado. Tambien la ultima coleccion de mini-cuentos de …

Musical Formalism And Political Performances, Jonathan A. Neufeld Jan 2009

Musical Formalism And Political Performances, Jonathan A. Neufeld

Contemporary Aesthetics (Journal Archive)

Musical formalism, which strictly limits the type of thing any description of the music can tell us, is ill-equipped to account for contemporary performance practice. If performative interpretations are in a position to tell us something about musical works—that is if performance is a kind of description, as Peter Kivy argues—then we have to loosen the restrictions on notions of musical relevance to make sense of performance. I argue that musical formalism, which strictly limits the type of thing any description of the music can tell us, is inconsistent with Kivy's quite compelling account of performance. This shows the difficulty …
