Gerardo Gombau : época y obra.

Se pretende subsanar el inmerecido olvido del compositor Gerardo Gombau, a través de un estudio global de toda su obra, ejemplificado con el análisis de las composiciones más características de las distintas épocas, de las cuales se pueden seguir las principales líneas estilísticas y estéticas de la música contemporánea española. La evolución musical del compositor permitirá una serie de comentarios y reflexiones, no sólo sobre las circunstancias musicales del siglo XX, sino sobre las conexiones que éstas mantienen con el resto de la música europea. El enfoque sociológico, unido al análisis lingüístico concreto de las obras musicales, ayuda a establecer las interconexiones existentes en el mundo musical y la sociedad en la cual se genera la cultura. El presente estudio se divide en cuatro partes de acuerdo a dos crtierios: los cambios sociales y culturales que se producen en Europa y España durante el siglo XX, y que condicionan la evolución musical; la propia línea evolutiva de la música de Gerardo Gombau. Por último se incluye la catalogación musical de su obra. La primera parte se dedica a los años de formación del compositor, desde su nacimiento en 1903 hasta la década de los 30. La segunda parte, abarca los años de posguerra (1940-1949) donde se estudia su evolución estilística, ya que en los últimos años compone una serie de obras en las que se puede comprobar un mayor dominio formal y estético del lenguaje musical, como se pone de manifiesto en la obra 'Don Quijote velando las armas', de la que se realiza un estudio minucioso. En la tercera parte, que incluye la década de los 50, se analizan un mayor número de obras para poder entender su posterior evolución estética. Las composiciones de estos años se agrupan según los diferentes géneros que aparecen: música de cámara, música vocal, ballet, música para instrumento solista y música sinfónica. Destaca el estudio de la obra 'Siete claves de Aragón'. La última parte, abarca desde 1960 hasta su muerte en 1971. En este punto, se produce un estudio diferente que incluye no sólo el análisis de las composiciones más importantes, sino un repaso de los escritos más significativos del autor, que muestran sus principales ideas en torno a la música. El análisis detallado de la obra de Gombau, no ofrece dos polos antagónicos e incomunicables, sino un constante y lento fluir, apoyado siempre en el deseo de búsqueda, que le hace evolucionar hacia postulados y estéticas aparentemente opuestos. Es difícil buscar rasgos comunes dentro de toda la producción del autor, pero es posible descubrir una serie de constantes, el interés constructivo y la búsqueda de la experimentación instrumental, ambas características pueden ser aplicadas al conjunto de su obra, de la que prácticamente no queda exento ningún género musical ni ninguna formación instrumental. Destaca su gran labor como pedagogo, cuya actitud sirvió para dinamizar la vida musical.

L’estudi que s’ha dut a terme vol descriure com s’integra i desenvolupa el treball del moviment i la dansa a les sessions d’educació musical de 19 escoles d’educació infantil i primària a partir de les observacions i intervencions d’estudiants de tercer curs en pràctiques dels estudis de Mestre/a en Educació Musical de la Universitat de Girona. D’una altra banda, l’estudi pretén també contribuir a que l’estudiantat desenvolupi una capacitat d’observació de l’activitat docent més estructurada, reflexiva i crítica i a que millori la relació i integració dels coneixements teoricopràctics i professionals

El disciplinamiento del cuerpo y el movimiento y la producción de subjetividad en la danza profesional de la ciudad de Quito. Prácticas 2013 – 2014

El tema central de esta investigación se refiere a aquellas praxis corporales disciplinares extracotidianas a través de las cuales se forman bailarines profesionales y su incidencia en la construcción de subjetividad de los mismos. El objetivo del presente estudio, realizado en la ciudad de Quito, es dilucidar los alcances e imbricaciones del disciplinamiento dancístico en la corporalidad y subjetividad de los profesionales de la danza, en articulación con los contextos políticos y culturales propios del campo dancístico de esta ciudad. El marco conceptual que se toma como referente en esta investigación dialoga sobre todo con las reflexiones de Pierre Bourdieu en El sentido práctico, donde expone cómo la educación corporal inscribe, sin que medie explicación verbal alguna, los valores de una cultura. Así, las disciplinas corporales extracotidianas de la danza, al incidir en el cuerpo del bailarín a través de la diaria reiteración, no solamente instauran en el mismo su técnica, sino que construyen, a través de sus valores estéticos, éticos, y del margen de creatividad que permiten, una parte muy importante de la forma de estar en el mundo del individuo disciplinado. En esta investigación se analizan cualitativamente los datos obtenidos en las entrevistas grabadas en vídeo a veinticinco profesionales de la danza quiteña formados dentro y fuera del país, cuyas edades aproximadas van de los treinta a los cincuenta años, en pleno ejercicio de su labor como bailarines, coreógrafos y/o docentes, y cuya práctica disciplinar corporal se encuentra dentro un rango de técnicas y estilos que abarcan el Ballet, la Danza Moderna, y varios estilos de Danza Contemporánea. El presente trabajo logra evidenciar las particularidades y contradicciones con las que se desarrollaron las diversas técnicas de disciplinamiento físico dancístico -con sus parámetros estéticos, éticos y creativos- al ser insertadas en el campo de la danza quiteño y en los cuerpos de los bailarines profesionales de esta ciudad.

Space, authenticity and utopia in the hip-hop teen dance film

The dance film flourished in the 2000s in the form of the hip-hop teen dance film. Such films as Save the Last Dance (Thomas Carter, 2001), Honey (Billy Woodruff, 2002) and Step Up (Anne Fletcher, 2006) drew on hip-hop’s dominance of the mainstream music industry and combined the teen film’s pre-existing social problem and musical narratives. Yet various tension were created by their interweaving of representations of post-industrial city youth with the utopian sensibilities of the classical Hollywood musical. Their narratives celebrated hip-hop performance, and depicted dance’s ability to bridge cultural boundaries and bring together couples and communities. These films used hip-hop to define space and identity yet often constructed divisions within their soundscapes, limiting hip-hop’s expressive potential. This article explores the cycle’s celebration of, yet struggle with, hip-hop through examining select films’ interactions between soundscape, narrative and form. It will engage with these films’ attempts to marry the representational, narrative and aesthetic meanings of hip-hop culture with the form and ideologies of the musical genre, particularly the tensions and continuities that arise from their engagement with the genre’s utopian qualities identified by Richard Dyer (1985). Yet whilst these films illustrate the tensions and challenges of combining hip-hop culture and the musical genre, they also demonstrate an effective integration of hip-hop soundscape and the dancing body in their depiction of dance, highlighting both form’s aesthetics of layering, rupture and flow (Rose, 1994: 22).

Progress report from the strategic sanctuary for the destruction of free will

Progress Report from the Strategic Sanctuary for the Destruction of Free Will presents a new work combining film, music and installation that juxtaposes the setting of the institution with the aesthetics of psychedelia.Progress Report from the Strategic Sanctuary for the Destruction of Free Will is an installation, film and sound work that takes over the gallery. Using plain white card, it distorts the structure of the gallery’s architecture, producing a paranoid shrunken space. Inside this space, performers in cardboard costumes re-enact abstracted, broken gestures drawn from video documentation of acid trips, psychedelic dancing, rehab sessions and radical psychotherapy workshops. Progress Report from the Strategic Sanctuary for the Destruction of Free Will has been formed through Pil and Galia Kollectiv’s research into the anti-psychiatry movement, their interests in counter cultural movements and their studies around biopolitics and the proliferation of societal medication. In 1958, having had a life changing experience with LSD, former alcoholic Charles Dederich founded Synanon, a drug rehabilitation program based on residential care and an aggressive form of group therapy called ‘The Game’. The organisation gradually evolved into a controversial alternative community, described in a critical pamphlet as creating Strategic Sanctuaries for the Destruction of Free Will, “a subversive program for mixing delinquents and lefties”. In 1984, anti-psychiatrist R. D. Laing described tranquillizers as chemical straight jackets. With our growing understanding of the plasticity of the brain and the potential to shape it, the tension between liberation and control in the struggle over the mind continues to define our relationship to labour, culture and production. Interrogating these ideas, the exhibition poses the question of whether a collective body can overcome the solipsism of the incommunicable experience of the individual mind.

Aspectos posturais e álgicos de bailarinas clássicas

Na prática do Ballet Clássico, diversos autores, como Tomes (1995), Guillot e Prudhommeau (1974), Bertoni (1992), Kostrovitskaya (1995), Vaganova (1941) e Baryshnikov (1976) priorizam a postura corporal através do alinhamento vertical do corpo, pressuposto este que é defendido por Kendall et al (1995). Contudo, esses pressupostos teóricos nem sempre são aceitos por outros estudiosos, como Solomon, Minton e Solomon (1990), Mckenzie (1985), Chaitow (1982), Denys Struyf (1995) e Malanga (2002), os quais não se fixam na premissa de que uma postura alinhada pode produzir menor gasto energético, ser mais confortável e prevenir lesões. Diante dessa controvérsia não encontrou-se um referencial teórico consistente que justificasse a postura adotada pelas bailarinas clássicas, mas sim apenas uma proposta postural defendida por maitres e/ou professores de Ballet Clássico utilizada no sentido de proporcionar às bailarinas aprimoramento técnico, benefícios estéticos e controle do número de lesões. Diante disso, este trabalho tem como objetivos: (1) verificar a coerência entre a postura solicitada pela maitre e/ou professor de Ballet Clássico e a postura adotada pelas bailarinas avaliadas; (2) descrever e analisar as características posturais específicas do grupo de bailarinas clássicas avaliadas, caso estas existam; (3) verificar a existência e o tipo de algias nas bailarinas clássicas avaliadas; (4) relacionar as características posturais específicas encontradas com os sintomas álgicos apresentados pelas bailarinas clássicas avaliadas; (5) verificar se as características posturais, adotadas pelas bailarinas clássicas avaliadas, lhes satisfazem. Para tal, a amostra foi dividida em um grupo formado por bailarinas clássicas (n=30; idade média=13,06 anos +1,98), um grupo de referência formado por não bailarinas clássicas (n=30; idade média=13,86 anos +1,61) e um grupo de maitres e/ou professores de Ballet Clássico (n=22). Foram aplicados os seguintes instrumentos: (1) questionário de aspectos posturais específicos em 3 versões - (1a) para o grupo de maitres e/ou professores de Ballet Clássico (r=1, p=0,0001), (1b) para o grupo de bailarinas clássicas (r=0,99, p=0,0001), (1c) para o grupo de não bailarinas (r=1, p=0,0001); (2) questionário de informações gerais; (3) questionário de dor (testado e adaptado por Souza e Krieger, 2000), (4) avaliação postural a partir de fotografia digitalizada, com três tomadas de intervalos de 2 horas, a uma distância de 3 metros. Os resultados mostraram que existem características posturais específicas para as bailarinas clássicas avaliadas e estas são coerentes com aquelas solicitadas por maitres e professores de Ballet Clássico; existem sintomas álgicos nas bailarinas, contudo estes não se relacionam com as suas características posturais específicas; o tipo de algias assinalado pelas participantes corresponde a algias leves esperadas na prática do Ballet Clássico; as bailarinas clássicas avaliadas encontram-se plenamente satisfeitas com a postura que adotam.

Racial discrimination in Brazil: interviews with leaders of the black movement

Racism in Brazil has some specificities when compared to other countries, for, differently from, for instance, South Africa and the United States, Brazilian Constitutions, ever since the Independence (1822), have never distinguished the citizens according to race or color. Furthermore, since the mid-1900s, Afro-Brazilian cultural manifestations, such as, for example, samba and capoeira, started to be valued as a part of our “national identity”. These specificities make race relations in Brazilian society a much more complex issue. This paper is focused on selected parts of interviews that deal with the nature of racial discrimination in Brazil, extracted from interviews with leaders of the black movement produced within the scope of the project “The History of Black Movement in Brazil: organization of a collection of Oral History Interviews”, developed by CPDOC, Getulio Vargas Foundation (Rio de Janeiro). These “histories within history”, as told by our interviewees, may be transformed into images that will be able to condense a given reality, thus allowing us to evaluate the gains obtained by oral history methodology.

Prevalência e fatores associados à dor em bailarinos profissionais

To investigate the prevalence and factors associated to painful symptomatology in professional ballet dancers. Methodos: An analytical transversal cut study was performed with 141 professional ballet dancers in the main capital cities of the Brazilian Northeast. McGill`s Pain Questionnaire and the Wisconsin Brief Pain Inventory, both validated for Portuguese, were used to assess painful symptomatology. Descriptive statistical analysis of the results was carried out, followed by Student`s t-test and Pearson s correlation with pvalue < 0.05. Results: High pain tolerance levels were observed in 70.2% of the subjects, where the intensity varied from moderate to severe. Pain in the lumbar region was present in 85.8% of the individuals. Positive correlations were verified between the degree of pain intensity and activities how to dance (60,3%), general activities (32,6%), sleep (28,4%), mood (27,7%), march (20,6%) and relations with others (16,3%). Conclusions: High pain prevalence was found in professional ballet dancers in the main capital cities of the northeast, and the most affected area was the lumbar followed by knees, neck, hip and feet, with substantial interference of pain symptoms in several activities of the personal and professional lives of these people

Break: o grito corporal da periferia

In order to question a sociology as it considers appropriate the body dimensions, which contributes in a mean singular in relation to body, not only as a matter, but mainly as a producer of knowledge, our research shows a reflection on corporality as the production of knowledge and to understand different perspectives and social logic here in contemporaneity, whose rationality seems to be placed in question through a performance expressed, a lot of 'breaks', including the space, which the dancer break appropriates of a reversed form and not more than linear. Our problem is the possibility of a greater understanding of this young body with dance the break, is not only 'breaking' his body, but fluent in their own body fragments, producing probably a break in relation to a dominant power established, by creating a kind of 'social resistance' to provide another sense for his life, out of the senses by the dominant of a social field. This is the area of production of knowledge, of the 'body' that cries keep our eyes, the challenge of dive in the depth of gestures, beyond the physical structure, restoring in a strong political constitution and cultural in so far as this body faces. The body as spectacular becomes 'cause and effect' of communication, this body is not only individual, it is not expression only for itself; when the young dance outside their walls individuals, makes it relational, turning to relate with the other, with the space, time and the world. The methodological point of view, to study this corporality in element break, the body as language of senses, we considered withdrawals in the field, observations of movements of the universe of break creative dance, performance and analysis of "attitudes" (expression peculiar world hip hop ), as well as my experience with dancing in the street interventions through 'urban' and our own attitudes to the object of research which challenges us academically and, it all, existentially

Maracatus Solar e Reis de Paus: tradição e modernidade no carnaval de rua em Fortaleza

This is an ethnographic and comparative study of the Maracatus Solar (2006) and Reis de Paus (1960), whose aim was to verify what is ancient and traditional in the new maracatu practiced by the guild Solar and conversely, what is new or modern in the old maracatu ritualized by guild Reis de Paus. It is worth noting that through this case study it is also intended to ethnographically observe and better understand the processes of ruptures and continuities between modernization and tradition, and the relationship between the global and the local. The communication system, the dancing, the music, the costumes and the loas (letters) were analyzed using the technique of participant observation as well as secondary materials such as newspapers, blogs and magazines. The interviews were open, non-directive, but recorded to facilitate understanding the speech of revelers. The research has shown that all the symbolic elements of aesthetic expression of the maracatu are permeated by clashes of historical contexts and of political representation, which, in another instance, also enunciates a fight of micro-community resistance regarding the renewal process and the social development that plague modern megalopolis. It is In this interim, between modernity and tradition that today it can be spoken about the existence of hybrid identity in the maracatu regarding a context mediated by the overall above mentioned values and customs specific of the new generations. However, one can not deny that the forms of negotiations with modernity also require the establishment of a link with the specific singularity of a popular culture that is not excluded, but also should not get invaded by the idea of authenticity. Therefore, performing this study was above all an opportunity to understand also the community life in the city outskirts, understanding society, culture and everyday social relations maintained between humans that produce and make it all happen. The Solar and Reis de Paus do not join in opposition between themselves nor by their similarity. What is most striking among them is the renewal of a tradition that reinvents itself in the form of popular representation across the street parade

Em cada canto, um conto, uma canção: o velho, a tradição oral e a educação no Mato Grande/RN

This dissertation is about an Education which is made concrete through orality and gestuality of the elderly joking masters of the territory of Mato Grande/RN and proposes a reflection about the exchange between these two knowledges and school education. Thus, it presents the following objectives: identifying the joking elderly in the region; recording their life experiences related to the jokes of the tradition and the way they realize such references at present; besides investigating and recording educative practices which consider the elderly s jokes at the present education. The investigation is supported by the metaphor in the making of a quilt as a methodological resource in the actions of measurement, choice of patches, sewing and binding off. The mapping of the territory of Mato Grande/RN has enabled the identification of seventeen joking elderly people. It considers and records their experiences with the popular amusements and from them, it discusses the ways through which the oral tradition in Mato Grande may be recognized in four categories/actions, namely, narrating, singing, dancing and getting old, which are analyzed under the studies by authors like Benjamin, Zumthor, Almeida, Porpino, among others. Finally, it also focuses the relation between the elderly, the knowledge of the tradition and the systemized education. It describes and articulates educative actions able to connect the knowledge by the joking elderly people and the knowledges taught at school, possibilities of concretization of a rebinding of knowledges which might bring orality and writing, the new and the old, science and tradition close to each other

A Dança na Escola: um sério problema a ser resolvido

Pretendemos abordar os aspectos relacionados à Dança na Escola e pensarmos sobre uma formação continuada, a fim de discutir e refletir a elaboração de propostas de capacitação em Dança voltadas aos professores de Educação Física, principalmente no interior do Estado de São Paulo. Analisaremos a formação inicial dos professores, objetivos, conteúdos e possibilidades de aplicação da Dança no contexto educacional. Apesar do aumento das pesquisas em relação ao ensino da Dança na Escola, falta um espaço adequado e professores comprometidos com um trabalho sério, consciente e crítico, pois a hegemonia do esporte se encontra muito arraigada na cultura escolar. Uma forma de amenizar esse problema seriam cursos de capacitação, de forma permanente, voltados aos conteúdos de Dança, a fim de que esses professores possam ter vivências em práticas dançantes embasadas em uma fundamentação teórica para, assim, discutir, analisar e refletir a melhor maneira de trabalhar esta arte no âmbito escolar.

LEARNING A COMPLEX MOTOR SKILL FROM VIDEO and POINT-LIGHT DEMONSTRATIONS

The aim of this Study was to compare the learning process of a highly complex ballet skill following demonstrations of point light and video models 16 participants divided into point light and video groups (ns = 8) performed 160 trials of a pirouette equally distributed in blocks of 20 trials alternating periods of demonstration and practice with a retention test a day later Measures of head and trunk oscillation coordination d1 parity from the model and movement time difference showed similarities between video and point light groups ballet experts evaluations indicated superiority of performance in the video over the point light group Results are discussed in terms of the task requirements of dissociation between head and trunk rotations focusing on the hypothesis of sufficiency and higher relevance of information contained in biological motion models applied to learning of complex motor skills
