La música en las fiestas del centenario patrio de 1910

Resumen: La conmemoración de los cien años de la Revolución de Mayo halló un país emergente en todo aspecto, inclusive en el cultural. De este modo, todos los músicos, nativos o argentinos por adopción, y aun extranjeros de paso o venidos para la ocasión, quisieron estar presentes con su actuación. No sólo por amor a un país que recién parecía tomar conciencia de su cultura, sino, al menos, para no desperdiciar una ocasión única de hacerse ver y notar. Es así que se produjeron una gran cantidad de eventos musicales, dignos de ser estudiados y recordados en el presente, en que se celebra un nuevo centenario, de modo de poder establecer las diferencias que se manifiestan entre uno y otro.

Sources of contention and the emerging reality concerning Qohelet's Carpe Diem advice

Abstract: When Qohelet declares “there is nothing new under the sun,” his own words are no exception. It has been known for a century now that not all of Qohelet’s material is original to his own genius, and the idea that Qohelet is directly dependent on a literary source(s) is standard fare. The hallmark example continues to be Siduri the alewife’s advice to Gilgamesh which displays remarkable correspondence with Ecclesiastes 9: 7-9. However, what may have been construed as an instance of clear literary dependency a century ago cannot be maintained in light of the data that continues to emerge from the ancient Near East. New sources have risen that contend with the Gilgamesh Epic, and there has yet to emerge a definitive victor. This paper calls into question the very idea that Qohelet was directly dependent on a literary precursor and joins with a few select voices both past and present in suggesting an alternate interpretation of the data.
