Oramics: Atlantis Anew

A moving image work co-commissioned by the Science Museum (London), with extensive unprecedented access to the Oramics archive at Goldsmiths College and the Science Museum. Conceived of as an Artist's film in homage to Daphne Oram, the pioneer of British Electronic Music and co-founder of the BBC Radiophonic workshop in 1958, the film features a close-up encounter with her unique invention, the Oramics Machine, housed at the Science Museum in London. Oram used drawn sound principles to compose ‘handwrought' electronic music, and yet the visual nature of her work remains largely unseen and unsung. Exhibitions: ‘Oramics to Electronica’ Science Museum (London 2011-14); solo exhibition as part of the International Rotterdam Film Festival (2013); group exhibition ‘The Sight of Sound’, Deutsche Bank VIP Lounge, Frieze Art Fair, NY (2012); ‘Samsung Art+ Prize’ BFI Southbank, London (2012). Screenings: mini-retrospective at the Lincoln Centre, NY, as part of the New York Film Festival (2013); Jarman Award Tour screenings (2012, venues included Whitechapel Gallery, London; FACT, Liverpool; CCA, Glasgow; The Northern Charter in partnership with CIRCA projects; Nottingham Contemporary, Nottingham; Watershed, Bristol; Duke of York Cinema, Brighton); Mini-retrospective screening and in conversation with Lis Rhodes, Tate Britain (London 2014); Mini-retrospective screening, DIM Cinema, The Cinematheque (Vancouver 2015); Mini-retrospective at Whitechapel Gallery (London 2016).

Sound Seam

A moving image work based on research with neurologists and audiologists, collectors and archivists. The film gives voice to the idea that every surface, in particular parts of our anatomy, is potentially inscribed with an unheard sound or echoes of voices from the past. The soundtrack’s musical composition is interlaced with a voice-over which draws on Rainer Maria Rilke’s text 'Primal Sound', where he reflects on the possibility of playing the coronal suture of a skull with a phonograph needle. The film uses microscopic photography, scanning electron microscopy, and sounds of otoacoustic emissions to uncover haunting aural bonescapes. The voiceovers too are recorded using old sound technology as a filter - writing and over-writing of wax cylinder to create unexpected scratches, glitches, loops and echoes. Exhibitions: shown as multi-channel sound/film installation AV festival (Newcastle 2010); solo exhibition at Wellcome Collection (London 2010-11); group exhibition ‘Samsung Art+ Prize’ BFI Southbank (London 2012); group exhibition ‘Transcendence’, Gertrude Contemporary, Melbourne (2014); solo exhibition as part of the International Rotterdam Film Festival (2013); group exhibition ‘The Sight of Sound’, Deutsche Bank VIP Lounge, Frieze Art Fair, NY (2012).

Le pouvoir communal et l'émancipation urbaine au XVe siècle : le cas de la ville de Liège (1400-1455)

La ville de Liège, à la fin du Moyen Âge, fut le théâtre de l’affirmation de ses bourgeois par l’entremise des corporations de métier et des institutions communales. Le XIVe siècle fut en effet marqué par des gains communaux importants au détriment, d’une part, du patriciat urbain, d’autre part, du prince-évêque de Liège. À partir de 1384, le Conseil liégeois, entièrement entre les mains des artisans, possédait des prérogatives étendues dans l’administration et la gestion de la ville. Toutefois, la progression du pouvoir bourgeois se trouva brusquement stoppée, pour une dizaine d’années, lors de la défaite liégeoise d’Othée, en 1408. Ce mémoire porte sur l’évolution du pouvoir communal liégeois dans la première moitié du XVe siècle, moins bien connue des historiens. L’étude de la chronique de Jean de Stavelot permet de mettre en lumière cette période trouble. La défaite d’Othée de même que les réformes imposées par les princes-évêques causèrent notamment de grands bouleversements. Des partis politiques entrèrent aussi en scène et la présence voisine du puissant duc de Bourgogne influença la vie des Liégeois. Ces particularités issues du contexte politique et social sont autant d’éléments qui influèrent sur la volonté d’affirmation des bourgeois et l’exercice du pouvoir communal à Liège.

Olhares caleidoscópicos do teatro de Qorpo-Santo

O Teatro de Joaquim José de Campos Leão ou, simplesmente, Qorpo-Santo é marcadamente um texto lacunar, como o próprio autor ressaltaria em vários momentos de "Ensiqlopédia ou Seis Mezes de Uma Enfermidade", publicação por ele realizada e única fonte filológica de seus textos. Nossa proposta de análise se vale da necessidade nos debruçarmos sobre a dramaturgia de Qorpo-Santo. Nosso objetivo é, sempre que possível, conferir um sentido ou, em outros termos, criar possibilidades representativas ao hermético texto teatral deste autor. Na tentativa de desvendá-lo, fomos ao encontro dos elementos interpretativos necessários para completar as lacunas deixadas no texto do autor. Seus textos constituem-se de verdadeiras "colchas calidoscópicas", já que neles encontramos várias possibilidades interpretativas ao tentarmos preencher os vagos dos recortes encontrados na sua obra. Inicialmente nos basta deixar os seus textos mais nítidos, quando possível, para que se possamos desconsiderar opiniões de que "os textos de Qorpo-Santo são para ser lido e não para ser encenados", para nós, isso é apenas mais uma das ilusões que permeiam a história do Duque do Triunfo, que devem ser superadas a partir do momento que dermos o devido sentido a esses textos, a partir do ponto que observamos a loucura como um discurso e uma proposição dentro da obra e da vida do autor.

Exact Unification and Admissibility

A new hierarchy of "exact" unification types is introduced, motivated by the study of admissible rules for equational classes and non-classical logics. In this setting, unifiers of identities in an equational class are preordered, not by instantiation, but rather by inclusion over the corresponding sets of unified identities. Minimal complete sets of unifiers under this new preordering always have a smaller or equal cardinality than those provided by the standard instantiation preordering, and in significant cases a dramatic reduction may be observed. In particular, the classes of distributive lattices, idempotent semigroups, and MV-algebras, which all have nullary unification type, have unitary or finitary exact type. These results are obtained via an algebraic interpretation of exact unification, inspired by Ghilardi's algebraic approach to equational unification.

Ondara, señorío del Duque de Gandía, a principios del siglo XV

A partir de un cabreve de 1416 conservado en el Archivo del Reino de Valencia hemos pretendido reconstruir cuál fue el desarrollo del lugar de Ondara, en el norte de la actual provincia de Alicante, en particular la renta percibida por el señor, el duque de Gandía. Ondara tenía una población de mayoría mudéjar, aunque también vivían en la localidad cristianos. De esta renta era la partición de frutos de los mudéjares y los cristianos, con sus 4.000 sueldos, la que proporcionaba los mayores ingresos en las arcas señoriales, es decir, el gravamen sobre la actividad económica de la localidad, seguida por los arrendamientos y el besante. Además de la agricultura había una actividad artesana en torno a la cantarería, la fabricación de jabón y el tinte. Se completa el estudio con unas normas municipales del año 1410 y la prosopografía de los vecinos.
