Contrafacta, fricassées, timbres ou reprises, du Moyen Âge au xxe siècle, la chanson a toujours goûté le plaisir de la création seconde, pour mieux enchanter l’auditeur. Mais sont-ce seulement quelques récréations que ces compositions entées ? En montrant comment elles sont éclairées par et éclairent à leur tour la poétique de l’intertextualité, l’objet de cet ouvrage est de montrer la portée re-créatrice de ces oeuvres entées. Ce parcours à travers les âges et les domaines linguistiques expose à la fois la vitalité des recherches cantologiques actuelles et celles des travaux sur la théorie de l’intertexte. Comme espace du topos et de la parole mémorielle, la chanson est, entre autres manifestations de la poésie orale, particulièrement perméable aux procédés d’emprunt, réemplois et réfections diverses qui caractérisent la poétique de l’intertextualité. Elle l’est même doublement : comme oeuvre, elle est formellement fondée sur les figures de récurrence ; comme espace générique, elle est le lieu privilégié de la tradition, comprise comme mode de transmission d’un message culturel dans un temps donné. Au-delà du seul texte, le tissage sémiologique singulier du genre chanson fonctionne comme réceptacle particulier du discours autre et du discours de l’Autre : non seulement la chanson cite, réécrit, voire plagie textes et musiques, mais, chaque performance étant une autre oeuvre, elle investit le champ de la recréation par le jeu des réinterprétations. On a voulu questionner ici l’articulation entre ces présences « autres » et la corporéité de la voix transmise qui reste la visée du discours chansonnier.

This short collection of essays focuses on four areas of immersive sound environments: repetition, sustained tones, performed installations and approaches to extended forms. Through in depth exploration of the experiential nature of these subjects, the authors offer reflections upon the materials used for these environments, how they are organised, and the consequences of this on how we listen.

Repetition in music. --- Sound installations (Art) --- Music --- History and criticism. --- music --- Active listening --- Ajapa japa --- Harmonic series (music) --- Maurice Merleau-Ponty --- Morton Feldman --- Phill Niblock --- Sine wave --- Timbre

In The Race of Sound Nina Sun Eidsheim traces the ways in which sonic attributes that might seem natural, such as the voice and its qualities, are socially produced. Eidsheim illustrates how listeners measure race through sound and locate racial subjectivities in vocal timbre—the color or tone of a voice. Eidsheim examines singers Marian Anderson, Billie Holiday, and Jimmy Scott as well as the vocal synthesis technology Vocaloid to show how listeners carry a series of assumptions about the nature of the voice and to whom it belongs. Outlining how the voice is linked to ideas of racial essentialism and authenticity, Eidsheim untangles the relationship between race, gender, vocal technique, and timbre while addressing an undertheorized space of racial and ethnic performance. In so doing, she advances our knowledge of the cultural-historical formation of the timbral politics of difference and the ways that comprehending voice remains central to understanding human experience, all the while advocating for a form of listening that would allow us to hear singers in a self-reflexive, denaturalized way.

Préfacé par le Ministre de la Culture, cet ouvrage est le premier volume d’une série consacrée aux recherches menées sur le Mont-Beuvray, haut-lieu de l’histoire, déclaré « grand site national » par le Président de la République en 1985. Fanette Laubenheimer, directeur, de Recherche au CNRS, dresse un bilan de l’extraordinaire masse d’amphores découvertes par deux pionniers de l’archéologie métropolitaine, Bulliot et Déchelette, à la fin du XIXe et au début du XXe s. L’auteur procède d’abord à l’analyse de la constitution des collections. Comment les archéologues ontils opéré face à un matériel énorme, ingrat et qui était quasi inconnu il y a un siècle ? Aux publications partielles et sommaires de ce matériel, très utilisées cependant, se substitue désormais un catalogue rigoureux et bien documenté qui réunit, pour la première fois, l’ensemble des collections et en renouvelle entièrement la lecture. Exceptionnelles en Gaule par leur quantité, les 195 amphores timbrées, surtout italiques, soulignent l’intensité, sur l’un des plus grands oppida de la Gaule Chevelue, des importations de vin étrusque et campanien au cours du Ier s. avant notre ère, puis l’émergence d’un nouveau courant d’importation de vin, d’huile et de sauces de poisson en provenance de la péninsule Ibérique. Ouvrage de référence et première publication d’envergure depuis la récente reprise des fouilles dans la capitale des Eduens, ce livre jette un pont entre les fouilleurs du XIXe s. et les archéologues d’aujourd’hui. This work, with a preface by the Minister of Cultural Affairs, is the first volume in a series devoted to the research currently being carried out on Mont-Beuvray, a site of major historical importance which was declared a "national heritage" by the President of France in 1985. Fanette Laubenheimer, a Research Director with the French government research council the CNRS, here makes a detailed study of the extraordinary mass of amphorae discovered at the turn of the century by two…

Tuning, Timbre, Spectrum, Scale focuses on perceptions ofconsonance and dissonance, and how these are dependent on timbre. This alsorelates to musical scale: certain timbres sound more consonant in some scalesthan others. Sensory consonance and the ability to measure it have importantimplications for the design of audio devices and for musical theory andanalysis. Applications include methods of adapting sounds for arbitrary scales,ways to specify scales for nonharmonic sounds, and techniques of soundmanipulation based on maximizing (or minimizing) consonance. Specialconsideration is given here to a new method of adaptive tuning that canautomatically adjust the tuning of a piece based its timbral character so as tominimize dissonance. Audio examples illustrating the ideas presented areprovided for free on the Springer Extras website (http://extras.springer.com). Thisunique analysis of sound and scale will be of interest to physicists andengineers working in acoustics, as well as to musicians and psychologists .
