Este proyecto educativo pretende responder, desde la educación, a la dinámica de la globalización y la sociedad del conocimiento, que entraña transformar tanto los procesos de aprendizaje, como el interior de las instituciones educativas a la luz de las nuevas formas de aprender. Este trabajo supone la primera reflexión teórico-práctica del proyecto, aportando además las experiencias del desarrollo del proyecto en España, con el fin de que sirva de base para otras ciudades que quieran participar de esta iniciativa. El libro es fruto del trabajo del grupo de Investigación MULTIEDU de la Facultad de Educación, Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, y de todos y cada uno de los participantes en el proyecto «¡Nosotros proponemos!» en Ciudad Real.

A Guide to the Latin American Art Song Repertoire

A reference guide to the vast array of art song literature and composers from Latin America, this book introduces the music of Latin America from a singer's perspective and provides a basis for research into the songs of this richly musical area of the world. The book is divided by country into 22 chapters, with each chapter containing an introductory essay on the music of the region, a catalog of art songs for that country, and a list of publishers. Some chapters include information on additional sources. Singers and teachers may use descriptive annotations (language, poet) or pedagogical annotations (range, tessitura) to determine which pieces are appropriate for their voices or programming needs, or those of their students. The guide will be a valuable resource for vocalists and researchers, however familiar they may be with this glorious repertoire.

Juan Bautista Plaza and Musical Nationalism in Venezuela

Juan Bautista Plaza and Musical Nationalism in Venezuela

Juan Bautista Plaza (1898-1965) was one of the most important musicians in the history of Venezuela. In addition to composing in a variety of genres and styles, he was the leading figure in Venezuelan music education and musicology at a time when his compatriots were seeking to solidify their cultural identity. Plaza's compositions in the emerging nationalist style and his efforts to improve musical institutions in his home country parallel the work of contemporaneous Latin American musicians including Carlos Chávez of Mexico, Amadeo Roldán of Cuba, and Camargo Guarnieri of Brazil. Plaza's life and music are little studied, and Labonville's ambitious book is the first in English to be based on his extensive writings and compositions. As these and other documents show, Plaza filled numerous roles in Venezuela's musical infrastructure including researcher, performer, teacher, composer, promoter, critic, chapel master, and director of national culture. Labonville examines Plaza's many roles in an attempt to assess how the nationalist spirit affected art music culture in Venezuela, and what changes it brought to Venezuela's musical landscape.

Bulemanns Haus

Nach dem Tod seines Vaters kehrt Herr Bulemann nach in �bersee verbrachten Jahren in seine Heimatstadt zur�ck und zieht in das Haus seines Vaters. Seine Frau und seine Kinder hat er auf der �berfahrt an Sklavenh�ndler verkauft - so erz�hlt man sich. Stattdessen hat Herr Bulemann zwei gro�e Katzen mitgebracht. In seinem Vaterhaus findet er allerlei Pfandg�ter - sein Vater war Pfandleiher - vor, die er widerrechtlich verkauft. In den folgenden Jahren suchen ihn Pfandgl�ubiger auf, welche ihre Pfandg�ter ausl�sen wollen und die er bestechen muss, damit sie sein widerrechtliches Handeln nicht ausplaudern. Er wird immer unleidlicher und menschenscheuer, bis sein einziger Kontakt zur Au�enwelt seine Haush�lterin ist, die ihn verachtet. Schlie�lich weist er schroff seine Halbschwester zur�ck, als sie ihn wegen ihres kr�nklichen Sohnes um Hilfe anfleht und verschuldet letztlich den Tod seines Neffen. Seine Schwester verflucht ihn, woraufhin sich die beiden Katzen nach und nach schauerlich verwandeln und ihn f�r immer in seinem Haus festhalten, aus dem die Haush�lterin inzwischen geflohen ist.

The Latin American Art Song

The Latin American Art Song

Taking as a thread the concept of national identity, this book elucidates the sound transformations that have taken place in the world of the Latin American art song since its appearance in the late nineteenth century to the present day. The book focuses in the art songs of Brazil, Argentina, Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia, Perú, and Colombia. The book addresses the subject of performance practice of the Latin American song and ends with a proposal for its interpretation. In songs, spaces of representation and cathartic tools thought, language and music have been at the service of some interests, fulfilling specific functions in the construction of the nation. In them, we observe that the construction of identity is a continuous, constant and changing process in which different stories are superimposed. Seen this way, songs are historical texts where social interactions are reflected, and the past, the present and the future are constantly negotiated. The book also addresses the subject of performance practice of the Latin American song and ends with a proposal for its interpretation.

Marine Glycobiology, Glycomics and Lectins

Glycans (carbohydrate chains) of marine creatures are rich and diverse in polysaccharides, glycoproteins, and glycolipids. The chains that are metabolized by glycan-related enzymes (glycosyltransferases and glycosidases) are recognized by glycan-binding proteins (lectins) which regulate cellular processes such as growth, differentiation, and death. Marine glycomics that involves the genome and transcriptome accelerates our understanding of the evolution of glycans, glycan-related enzymes, and lectins. From 2017 to 2019, the Special Issue “Marine Glycobiology, Glycomics and Lectins” of the journal Marine Drugs published scientific articles and reviews, on the background of “glycobiology”—that is, glycan-based biosciences. The aim was to promote the discovery of novel biomolecules that contribute to drug development and clinical studies. This has great potential for establishing connections between the fields of both human health and marine life sciences. This book contains 11 scientific papers representing current topics in comprehensive glycosciences related to therapeutic agents from marine natural products, as outlined.

Aristotle's definition of the soul should be interpreted as: 'the soul is the entelechy of a natural body that serves as its instrument'. The theory of a fine-corporeal body makes it much easier to understand Aristotle's position between Plato and the Stoics . This correction puts paid to all theories about a development in Aristotle's thought.
