Artes - Pro und Kontra VII
"Publizität", "Publikum" "Öffentlichkeit", als Träger eines öffentlichen Diskurses, haben mannigfache Bedeutung. So ist eine Abgrenzung notwendig. Uns interessiert der auf die artes bezogene gesellschaftliche Diskurs. Versuche zur Kontrolle des öffentlichen Diskurses gab es bereits in Athen und Rom. Auch der Initiator der "karolingischen Renaissance", Karl der Große, hat vor Bücher von zweifelhaftem Wert, die gegen den katholischen Glauben gerichtet sind, gewarnt. Das V. Konzil hat die Lehre der Averroisten in Padua mit dem Bann belegt. Das Tridentinum wurde für unsere Untersuchung zu einer Zäsur: Zur Kontrolle des Buchrucks wurde die Inquisition weiterentwickelt. Die Freiheit der K...

The Autonomy of Reference
In The Autonomy of Reference: On the Relational Structure of Nominals, Zoltán Vecsey defends a moderate autonomy thesis concerning the explanatory status of nominal reference. The autonomy thesis is based on the observation that the relational term of reference exhibits a specific resistance to systematizing attempts. The resistance can be observed on two complementary fronts.

Sibelius
Informed by a wealth of information that has come to light in recent years, this engaging biography tells the complete story of the life and musical work of Finnish composer Jean Sibelius (1865-1957). Drawing on Sibelius’s own correspondence and diaries, contemporary reviews, and the remarks of family and friends, the book presents a rich account of the events of the musician’s life. In addition, this volume is the first to set every work and performable fragment by Sibelius in its historical and musical context. Filling a significant gap, the biography also provides the first accurate information about much of the composer’s early music. Writing for the general music-lover, Andrew Barnett combines his own extensive knowledge of Sibelius’s music with the insights of other scholars and musicians. He lays to rest a number of myths and untruths—that Sibelius wrote no chamber music of value, for example, and that he stopped composing in 1926 and didn’t need to compose to earn a living. Barnett completes the volume with the most thorough worklist available and an authoritative chronology of Sibelius’s entire output.
