XXXIX Scientific Instrument Symposium: Spaces for Instruments
Ursprünglich geplant: London (UK). Wegen Covid-19 als virtuelle Konferenz gehalten.The Фspatial turnХ in history of science and historical geography has seen fruitful exploration of the situatedness of knowledge production and practice. Instrument historians have paid close attention to how instruments have been made, used and understood in a variety of spaces.This yearХs theme reflects some current interests of our host institutions. The Science MuseumХs new Science City 1550-1800 gallery explores how scientific instrument making and experimental practice shaped, and were shaped by, the growing city of London. The forthcoming Royal Museums Greenwich Royal Observatory 350 project will explore the legacy of one of the most iconic sites in instrument history. Museums are also in their own right significant spaces for the preservation, study and public interpretation of scientific instruments.The theme also builds on excellent discussions at recent SIC Symposia which have explored instruments at the crossroads, infrastructure, global/local and east/west narratives.Quelle: https://www.scientific-instrument-commission.org/sic-conferences/item/xxxix-scientific-instrument-symposium [rev. 17.10.2021].
Finnegans Wake, Music and Disability
This thesis considers the three-way interaction between semantics, musicality, and disability in James JoyceХs Finnegans Wake. The silent actions of prose writing and reading, and the silent nature of the printed text, can be felt to divorce this medium from the strictly sonic medium of music altogether. Many scholars have, however, found in literary texts (particularly modernist texts) latent sonic capacities that may allow for a quasi-musical, intra-auditive reader experience.The ТSirensУ episode of JoyceХs Ulysses has been a key focus for such musical analyses since the 1920s. Developed musical readings of Finnegans Wake are far fewer, though the text is often mentioned as representing an advancement of JoyceХs ТmusicalisationУ of prose to an extreme, perhaps impossible degree.The present thesis takes an anti-able-normative (or ТdisablistУ) perspective on JoyceХs testing of the (im)possibility of music in literature and of the broader possibilities of language itself. To this end, it compares Finnegans Wake to high- and post-modernist musical/sonic artworks that similarly pushed the established limits of the aesthetic and the semantic.My objective is to allow literature, music, and disability to shed light on each otherХs conceptual and practical strengths and weaknesses. Just as states of cognitive and somatic disability are coming to be understood, not as paradigms of failure, but as potential alternative models of (dys)functionality, so we may view musical, narrative, and poetic ТfailuresУ (or ТdisabilitiesУ) in avant-garde arts as similarly positively dysfunctional.The thesis cites high, late, and post-modernist compositions by Arnold Schoenberg, Anton Webern, Pierre Boulez, and John Cage. Through this, it illustrates that similar phrasal, inter-phrasal, narrative, and meta-narrative ТdisabilitiesУ occur in modernisms both musical and literary. The ТcombinatorialУ composition methods of Pierre Boulez in particular are found to share many ТdysgenicУ characteristics with those employed in the writing of Finnegans Wake.
