Abstract

Depuis les années soixante-dix, on assiste à un développement sans précédent des lectures publiques de la poésie écrite, en France. Il en résulte une revalorisation de l’oralité dans l’ensemble du champ littéraire contemporain. Or il s’avère que ce phénomène n’a encore été qu’assez peu interrogé dans le domaine universitaire français : ce volume s’attache à combler cette lacune. Si la lecture publique a souvent été considérée comme une simple oralisation de l’écrit, sans propriétés esthétiques spécifiques, il apparaît au contraire qu’il s’agit, dans le meilleur des cas, d’un « mode original particulier / autonome / d’existence de la poésie », comme l’a dit le poète Jacques Roubaud. Ce livre, centré sur le XXe siècle, aborde néanmoins l’histoire de la lecture publique de poésie depuis la fin du XIXe siècle. Cette pratique y est envisagée selon différents plans : la description et l’évolution des styles de diction, dans leur rapport à des questions de poétique ; l’identification des « diseurs », du public, et des lieux de lecture ; l’analyse des mutations médiologiques qui affectent nécessairement les modes de lecture et de réception. On ambitionne ainsi de décrire le moment où nous en sommes, dans lequel les tentatives orales des poètes sont autant de signes de vitalité.

Abstract

Stories have power. They move people in a way that facts and figures can't. Many leaders use stories as a tool, but leadership development expert Tim Tobin says most have no idea what tale their own leadership is telling. He shows how, by thinking of your career as a narrative-with a plot, characters, and an arc-you can increase your awareness of yourself as a leader and become more effective, insightful, and inspiring. Using story as both a metaphor and a process for self-development, Tobin offers activities and questions that help you better understand your own leadership and how others perc

Abstract

Texte tönen (schrieb Novalis). Aber Töne formen auch Texte: ihre Ästhetik, ihre Rezeption, ihr Verständnis. Selbst wenn gar keine physikalischen Laute dabei im Spiel sind. Seit der Umstellung auf das stumme Lesen im Lauf des 18. Jahrhunderts wird das Ohr zum imaginären oder realen Adressaten einer literarischen Tontechnik, die sich stets in spannungsvolle Beziehung setzt zu Musik und Medien, Gesang und Geräusch, Bild und Begehren, Stille und Präsenz.Der interdisziplinäre Band (Neuere Deutsche Literatur, Komparatistik, Kultur-, Musik-, Sprechwissenschaft) untersucht Phänomene von einer Dichtungstheorie des Text- und Sprechklangs bis zum gezielten Sounddesign der Radiostimme, von den Rhapsodenkünsten der Vortragskultur übers Hörbuch bis zum gegenwärtigen Hörspiel, vom inneren Hören bis zur visuellen Gestaltung von Tönen, von einer »TonSchriftkunst« (Novalis) zur Klangkunst.

Abstract

"In this audacious memoir, William Cobb reveals the tumultuous creative life of a distinguished practitioner of southern and Alabama storytelling. As poignant and inspiring as his own fiction, Captain Billy's Troopers traces Cobb's early life, education, and struggles with alcohol and the debilitating condition normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). Like a curving river, the broad sweep of Cobb's turbulent life includes both startling cataracts and desultory eddies, leading sometimes into shadows or opening into unexpected sunlight. With unsentimental clarity, Cobb recounts coming of age in his native Demopolis in the churning middle years of the twentieth century. It's there he has his first tantalizing tastes of alcohol and begins to drink habitually. Readers then travel with Cobb to Livingston University (now the University of West Alabama) and then on to Vanderbilt University. Along the way, readers relish his first experiences of love and success as a writer, leading to a career as a professor of writing at Alabama College (now the University of Montevallo) in 1963. From there Cobb's struggles with alcohol and depression lead to elongated years of tumbling creative output and the collapse of his marriage. The summer of 1984 found Cobb in rehab, the first step in his path to recovery. His unflinching memoir narrates both the milestones and telling details of his intense therapy and years in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). In the sober thirty years since, Cobb has published a string of critically praised novels and a prize-winning collection of short stories. The capstone of his comeback was winning the Harper Lee Award in 2007 for distinguished fiction writing. In 2000, shortly after retiring, Cobb developed NPH, which upset his sense of balance and triggered dementia symptoms and other maladies. Nine years later in 2009, brain surgery brought Cobb a dramatic recovery, which began the third act in his writing career. Vital, honest, and entertaining, Captain Billy's Troopers captures the life of an Alabama original. "--

Abstract

Much of our modern understanding of medieval society and cultures comes through the stories people told and the way they told them. Storytelling was, for this period, not only entertainment; it was central to the law, religious ritual and teaching, as well as the primary mode of delivering news. The essays in this volume raise and discuss a number of questions concerning the strategies, contexts and narratalogical features of medieval storytelling. They look particularly at who tells the story; the audience; how a story is told and performed; and the manuscript and social context for such tales. Laurie Postlewate is Senior Lecturer, Department of French, Barnard College; Kathryn Duys is Associate Professor, Department of English and Foreign Languages, University of St Francis; Elizabeth Emery is Professor of French, Montclair State University.

Abstract

"Examining materials from early modern and contemporary North India and Pakistan, Tellings and Texts brings together seventeen first-rate papers on the relations between written and oral texts, their performance, and the musical traditions these performances have entailed. The contributions from some of the best scholars in the field cover a wide range of literary genres and social and cultural contexts across the region. The texts and practices are contextualized in relation to the broader social and political background in which they emerged, showing how religious affiliations, caste dynamics and political concerns played a role in shaping social identities as well as aesthetic sensibilities. By doing so this book sheds light into theoretical issues of more general significance, such as textual versus oral norms; the features of oral performance and improvisation; the role of the text in performance; the aesthetics and social dimension of performance; the significance of space in performance history and important considerations on repertoires of story-telling. The book also contains links to audio files of some of the works discussed in the text. Tellings and Texts is essential reading for anyone with an interest in South Asian culture and, more generally, in the theory and practice of oral literature, performance and story-telling."--Publisher's website.

Abstract

Using an innovative approach, this book focuses on a widely debated area of phonetics and phonology: intonation, and specifically its relation to metrics, its interface with syntax, and whether it can be attributed more to phonetics or phonology, or equally to both. Drawing on data from six Romance languages (French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan and Romanian), whose rich intonation patterns have long been of interest to linguists, J-Philippe Martin challenges the assumptions of traditional phonological approaches, and re-evaluates the data in favour of a new usage-based model of intonation. He proposes a unified description of the sentence prosodic structure, focusing on the dynamic and cognitive aspects of both production and perception of intonation in speech, leading to a unified grammar of Romance languages' sentence intonation. This book will be welcomed by researchers and advanced students in phonetics and phonology.
