Abstract

"Speechsong is a work of imaginative musicology that addresses the engimas of Schoenberg and Gould, of singing and speaking, of Moses und Aron, of technology and being. Its point of departure is Gould’s last public performance, given at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles, where a number of Schoenberg’s works were performed during his California exile. It is here, after that last performance, that Gould encounters a spectral Schoenberg in a staged conversation that explores Schoenberg’s travails in rethinking the fundamentals of Western music. This first part of Speechsong recalls Schoenberg’s operatic masterpiece, Moses und Aron, in which the divinely inspired Moses seeks the help of his brother to relate his vision: Moses speaks and Aron sings. Written as a twelve-tone composition, the opera produces an involution of harmonics that was Schoenberg’s response to Richard Wagner’s diatribes about synagogue noise. For Gould, Schoenberg’s is a formalist revolution; Schoenberg’s life, however, suggests that it was a search for personal and political freedom. The second half of Speechsong is a critical essay in twelve “moments” that re-articulates the staged conversation as an inquiry into the intersections of music and mediation. Gould’s turn to the recording studio emerges as a post-humanist inquiry into recorded music as a repudiation of the virtuoso tradition and a liberation from unitary notions of selfhood. Schoenberg’s exodus from musical tradition likewise takes his twelve-tone invention beyond musical performance, where it emerges, along with Gould’s soundscapes, as a prototype of acoustic installations by artists such as Stephen Prina and Cory Arcangel. In these works, music abandons the concert hall and the exigencies of harmony for an acoustic space that embraces at once the recordings of Gould and the performances of Schoenberg that have found their home on the internet."

Abstract

Comment comparer le Canada avec les États-Unis aujourd'hui ? C'est la question centrale de cet ouvrage qui met en dialogue treize contributions écrites par des américanismes et des canadianistes, dans une perspective inter-disciplinaire. Les domaines d'investigation, regroupés en trois grands pôles de réflexion – politique, espace, et migration – se situent pour la plupart à la croisée de plusieurs champs : économie, politique, droit, anthropologie, sociologie, histoire des idées, histoire de l'immigration, de l'urbanisme, et littérature. Il s'agit de cerner à nouveau, dans le contexte actuel de la mondialisation, les lignes de fond qui sous-tendent les intérêts parfois disparates des comparatistes qui rapprochent deux pays dont la relation est inégale. Si la démarche comparative s'avère possible dans certains domaines, elle s'apparente parfois à une mise en parallèle afin de mieux épouser un terrain amplement subjectif. En somme, ce livre se propose de saisir à l'instant présent, dans sa variété et selon des modalités diverses, la relation constamment changeante, parfois fugace, qui lie et sépare les deux pays. To answer this question, this work sets in dialogue thirteen contributions written by American and Canadian studies specialists, in an interdisciplinary perspective. The domains of investigation, grouped in three major tracks of reflection – politics, space and migration – are for most situated at the crossroads of several fields: economics, politics, law, anthropology, sociology, history of ideas, of immigration, of urban planning, and literature. The aim is to identify again, in the current context of globalization, the underlying forces that bring together comparatists from various fields to work on two countries characterized by an unequal relationship.

Abstract

"The History of the Book in Canada is one of this country's great scholarly achievements, with three volumes spanning topics from Aboriginal communication systems established prior to European contact to the arrival of multinational publishing companies. Each volume observes developments in the realms of writing, publishing, dissemination, and reading, illustrating the process of a fledgling nation coming into its own. The third and final volume follows book history and print culture from the end of the First World War to 1980, discussing the influences on them of the twentieth century, including the country's growing demographic complexity and the rise of multiculturalism." -- Front flap of jacket.
