The Six-Course Guitar in Spain: Some Considerations of Repertoire and Musical Practice
The six-course guitar is still a little-known instrument. One need only look at books on the history of music to verify that claim: there is hardly any mention of it, nor are its composers or repertoire often cited. In fact, researchers have given far more attention to other plucked-string instruments than to the six-course guitar—whether for reasons of tradition or ideology—leading to a major gap in the literature. The repertoire of the Spanish …
The topicality of hermeneutics in music education
Musical learning, especially in higher education, should not be unidirectional, but based on a dialogue in which the piece of music is seen as a ‘companion’. In light of this, the article uses hermeneutics as a methodology to show, in the first step, that the understanding of music is always linked to the word as a substantial tool for understanding. If understanding music means interpreting it, then it is always a hermeneutic process that relies…
Evaluating urban biodiversity: Effectiveness of citizen science driven species distribution models in urban ecosystems
Citizen science (CS) and remote sensing (RS) approaches have become more reliable, thus providing higher resolution and generating a large amount of environmental data. When considering urban environments, where fragmented and highly diverse landscapes are predominant, the combination of citizen science data and remote sensing techniques with species distribution models (SDM) can play a vital role in comprehensively investigating and evaluating u…
The benefits of counting butterflies: Recommendations for a Successful Citizen Science Project
Citizen science (CS) projects, being popular across many fields of science, have recently also become a popular tool to collect biodiversity data. Although the benefits of such projects for science and policy making are well understood, relatively little is known about the benefits participants get from these projects as well as their personal backgrounds and motivations. Furthermore, very little is known about their expectations. We here examine…
Sustainable resource governance in global production networks – challenges for human geography
Transnational debates, for instance on the finiteness of fossil resources and their harmful effects on the climate, are often regarded as interdisciplinary challenges in the social and natural sciences.By contrast, in the past two decades, notably in the 2000s, geography appears to have been forgetful of resources.In this paper it is argued that more attention needs to be paid to resource studies in human geography.It starts by comparing existing…
Diversity and Contact: Immigration and Social Interaction in German Cities
This book analyzes how the socio-demographic and cultural diversity of societies affect the social interactions and attitudes of individuals and groups within them. Focusing on Germany, where in some
Doing institutions. A dialectic reading of institutions and social practices and its relevance for development geography
Twelve years after the discussions on development and institutions at the meeting of the Geographischer Arbeitskreis Entwicklungstheorien (GAE 2000) in Zrich, this paper seeks to put institutions back on the research agenda in development geography.The authors explore recent trends in institutional theory and propose a dialectic understanding of "doing institutions" that positions social actors and their everyday practices at the center of instit…
Con las guitarras abiertas. El neopopularismo como reacción y progreso en las canciones españolas de los años 30 del siglo XX
La composición musical española durante la década de los 30 del siglo XX muestra dos tendencias opuestas: una progresista, vanguardista y europeísta, y una más reaccionaria y conservadora. La Guerra Civil no fue una fisura que separara un antes vanguardista de un “después” o posterior reaccionario, sino que ambas tendencias coexistieron durante la década. Precisamente esta convivencia entre lo reaccionario (cuyo ejemplo podría ser una canción de …
Urban and tourist land use patterns and water consumption: Evidence from Mallorca, Balearic Islands
The Genealogy of the Clip Culture
Passacaglio ist eigentlich eine Chaconne. Zur Unterscheidung zweier musikalischer Kompositionsprinzipien
Die Schwierigkeiten der Unterscheidung zwischen Pasacalles und Chaconne werden zunächst an Hand einiger Beiträge zu diesen Formen dargestellt und diskutiert. In einem zweiten Schritt wird dann ein neues Erklärungsmodell vorgestellt, bei dem die aus den beiden Kompositionsschemata gewonnen Konsequenzen erläutert und beschrieben werden. Dabei zeigt sich, dass die Pasacalles, als dynamisches Kompositionsprinzip, eher dem Anspruch einer extensiven Ko…
Statistical Versus Substantive Dimensionality: The Effect of Distributional Differences on Dimensionality Assessment Using Dimtest
It is believed by some that most tests are multidimensional, meaning that they measure more than one underlying construct. The primary objective of this study is to illustrate how variations in the secondary ability distribution affect the statistical detection of dimensionality and to demonstrate the difference between substantive and statistical dimensionality. Given dichotomous data simulated to be multidimensional, this study shows how varyin…
Mi voz en el sonido de tu luz’. Estructuras musicales en la poesía de Juan-Eduardo Cirlot
En este articulo pretendemos relacionar algunas tecnicas compositivas musicales con la genesis de la obra poetica de Juan-Eduardo Cirlot (Barcelona 1916–1973), sin olvidar en ningun momento que la
