Visuell Perception : En studie av visuella faktorer kring ett musikaliskt framträdande

The essay investigates the visual element as seen by the audience and artist to be of greatest importance to a musicalperformance. The study was conducted in the form of a field work which included doing interviews with artists, surveys of the audience and interpretive observations of live performance. The fieldwork was conducted in three different environments in which I found myself on the spot and performed the various stages included in the field work. It was done to create a surface that could be used in an essay, and through that use this material to compare and analyze my results and in the end be able to answer my questions. I started from eight different factors which all could beexperienced visually on stage. The factors were light / colors, costumes, props, effects, stage presence, attitude / image, nervousness and dance / body language. Those factors would then be examined in the various musical performances and to be answered by the audience and performers which of those factors they considered to be of great importance or small importance when it comes to visual perception in a musical context. The result was a clear statement where two factors were considered to be most crucial for a musical performance, and a clear statement in which two factors were considered by the majority to be less important. The results demonstrate a common understanding what the artist and the audience thinks is important. A result that can act as a template for what an artist should think about regarding the visual elements before an performance. My theory is my assumption that the visual elements of musical performances can play an important or decisive role, an assumption that was strengthened by my empirical experiences at a concert visit. I wanted in this essay explore and give a clear picture of what it is that artists and audiences consider to be visually crucial for a musical context

La cronémimca de reuniones multipartitas en videoconferencia : Observaciones en torno al silencio de la fase de preparación

En este estudio se examinan los silencios que aparecen durante la fase de preparación de dieciocho reuniones multipartitas por videoconferencia. Partiendo de la metodología del Análisis Conversacional, el análisis del material muestra que la duración de los silencios entre turnos se reduce considerablemente en dos momentos cruciales de la interacción en línea. Esto a su vez confirma la existencia de tres etapas diferenciadas en la preparación: etapa inicial, etapa de transición y etapa audiovisual, en cada una de las cuales los silencios presentan unas características concretas. Se muestra que en el chat escrito también se producen intervalos y lapsos y que el nivel de tolerancia de los participantes hacia el silencio varía en cada una de las etapas, lo cual puede relacionarse con su nivel de atención y disponibilidad. Se sugiere un estándar máximo aproximado para los intervalos que ocurren en la etapa de transición y se demuestra que, en el canal audio-oral, el límite de tolerancia se sitúa por encima de los tres segundos de duración. Por último, este estudio pone de manifiesto la aparición de diferentes ritmos cronémicos a lo largo de la preparación en videoconferencia, donde elementos como la apertura de la cámara web parecen poseer una gran relevancia interaccional.
