Varia 1

Bengt Edlund — Thu, 26 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0200

The texts included in Varia 1 are related to the four volumes published by Peter Lang Verlag, and particularly to Wits and Interpretation (Berlin 2023).

The volume brings a full report on an experimental investigation studying the relationship between notated rhythm/meter and performance in Bach melodies, and essays discussing three important aspects of musical structure – anticipation, symmetry, and proprioceptive properties. Interpretational issues make up the core in analyses of works by Beethoven, Debussy, Chopin, Mozart, and Bach. The final chapter traces the musical form of a pioneer work of abstract film.

Varia 2

Bengt Edlund — Thu, 26 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0200

De åtta kapitlen i Varia 2 utgörs av anföranden hållna vid olika sammankomster eller av texter som inte publicerats.

Ett centralt tema utgörs av en diskussion av olika slags lyssnande som musikvetenskaplig metod: melodisk fission/fusion, hermeneutisk tolkning, analys av toninnehåll med hjälp av set theory, analys genom syntes, reduktiv (tonal) analys, gehörsmässigt studium av musikframföranden.

Andra ämnen är handsymmetri vs. klaviaturlateralitet, att lyssna till sitt musicerande på avstånd, syntetiserad röstklang vs. melodiskt uttryck som stimulus genusidentifikation, en sammanhållen teori för sambandet mellan rytm och meter med hänsyn till framförandeaspekter.

Genusvetenskapliga forskningsmetoder

Tue, 20 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0200

ÄNTLIGEN EN GRUNDBOK i genusvetenskapliga forsknings-metoder på svenska!

Med förankring i genusvetenskapens tvärvetenskapliga karaktär synliggör denna antologi det genusvetenskapliga områdets bredd och djup med kortfattade och pedagogiska exempel från olika fält. Boken inleds med en presentation av genusvetenskapliga nyckelbegrepp som intersektionalitet, reflexivitet, situering och skala som alla ger viktiga metodologiska verktyg i forskningsprocessen. Även analytiska förhållningssätt med betydelse för metodologi diskuteras - exempelvis vad queer, trans eller transnationell feministiskforskning innebär.

I bokens andra del står det praktiska hantverket i fokus. Här presenteras metoder för både materialinsamling och analys. Etnografiska metoder, intervjutekniker, aktions- och arkivforskning, diskurs- och dokumentanalys, kollektivt minnesarbete, muntlig historia, statistisk analys, narrativ metod, visuella och litteraturvetenskapliga analysmetoder samt digital etnografi finns alla med. Bokens delar och enskilda kapitel kan läsas oberoende av varandra och läsaren får en tillgänglig introduktion till genusvetenskapliga arbetssätt, begrepp, debatter och forskningsmetoder med utgångspunkt i exempel från författarnas egen forskning.

Traces of Sound

Wed, 08 May 2024 00:00:00 +0200

What is sound when it is not heard? How does this unheard sound affect us? What might such sound reveal to us and how would we know? How do we recall sounds when their sources are no longer accessible? Traces of Sound. Reflections of Sounds Unheard invites scholars of music archaeology, German literature, media technology, sound art, human perception and theoretical physics to reflect upon these questions from their various positions within the broad field of sound studies. The contributors’ answers, empirical material and methods are highly diverse, but they share interests in sounds that are not necessarily heard, how these sounds can be traced, and what stories they might tell. The book is an outcome of the symposium Spår av Ljud (Traces of Sound), organized on the occasion of The Swedish Royal Academy of Music’s 250th anniversary in 2021.

Dynamical Modeling of Physiology

Kristian Soltesz — Wed, 27 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0100

Human physiology is the study of how organisms, organ systems, and individual organs function under normal circumstances. As a consequence of its paramount importance to medicine, physiology has been studied since ancient times, but the models studied in this book follow the tradition of modern physiology pioneered by Claude Bernard in the mid 1800s.

The focus of the book lies on how dynamical mechanisms and phenomena in physiology can be understood and studied using mathematical modeling. Each chapter commences with the introduction of a well-established physiological model. Although these models are collected from seemingly disparate areas such as hemodynamics, pharmacology, and biomechanics, it quickly becomes apparent how theory and methods surrounding differential equations and dynamical systems constitutes a fabric that unites all the studied models.

Both nonlinear and linear models are treated. Simulation of dynamical models through numerical integration is presented, and for linear models it is shown how responses can be obtained both in the time and ``frequency'' (Laplace) domains.

The powerful concept of feedback is introduced, and the book serves as an excellent spring board for studying cyber-physical ``closed-loop'' systems in medicine.

The intended audience is primarily undergraduate biomedical engineering students.

Lifelong learning and Higher Education: New (and Old) Perspectives

Wed, 27 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0100

This is the proceedings volume from the 8^th biannual teaching and learning conference at Lund University, LUTL-22. The conference theme, Lifelong Learning and Higher Education: New (and Old) Perspectives, gave rise to a rich spread of presentations and discussions. The volume in your hand holds 13 contributions based on keynote addresses, papers, panels, and roundtable discussions from the conference.

The pedagogical objectives, practices, and challenges of supporting lifelong learning have become pronounced elements in the fabric of higher education in recent years. What does this entail for the teaching staff: for our missions, our methods, and our own professional learning? These issues, and more besides, are approached between these covers.
