Abstract I Puritani is the masterpiece that crowned the creation of the Italian composer Vincenzo Bellini, being remarked and appreciated for the richness of his melodicity and profound symbols filled with the inspiration and creativity of a creator. This was the last of the ten works composed by Bellini, whose disappearance was premature, at only 33 years, but the passion and talent with which he created revealed a work dominated by essence and emotion, which establishes a close connection between chant and the poetic text, providing new expressive valences to the lyrical universe. The extremely difficult and demanding vocal writing raises serious challanges, the Bel-canto style meaning not only a “beautiful chant” but also a difficult texture, a certain specific phrasing and a spread of spectacular acute tones.

Ecological tourism is a direction in the tourism industry, which is primarily interested in preserving nature and its surroundings: monuments, plants, animals. An integral part of ecotourism development is the promotion of the utilization, conservation of water and energy and the creation of economic opportunities for local communities. Tourism is in close connection with a new branch of geography - recreational geography, which studies natural-geographical, cultural-historical and other conditions conducive to the development of tourism.

In the article proposed, the researcher tries to characterize the main manifestations of text applications on the basis of Ukrainian poetry of the late XX - early XXI centuries. The author of the research concludes that the text application is actively used in modern Ukrainian poetry as a marker of intertextual interaction and an actualizer of precedent texts of religious content, various genres of Ukrainian folk art, as well as Ukrainian and world literature. The text applications found in the processed poetic works play an important role in the creation of poetic text and perform the function of setting, informative-signaling, meaning-making, plotforming functions, as well as the means of creating figurative and stylistic figures and the means of language play.

Although the government established through the alliance of the Gélukpa (Dge lugs pa) and the Khoshud in 1642 took its appellation from the Ganden Palace (Dga’ ldan pho brang/Ganden Phodrang) at Drepung (’Bras spung), the symbolic seat of power of this government was the Potala, at the same time fortress, administrative centre, earthly copy of the celestial palace of Avalokiteśvara, and official residence of the Fifth Dalai Lama. Less known, however, is that the Potala also came to symbolise military readiness. It acquired this new martial function in 1667, when an armoury, called Dorjéling (Rdo rje gling), was set up at the base of the White Palace. The Fifth Dalai Lama memorialised its establishment with a poetic text, which is included in volume nineteen (ma) of his collected works. This paper examines this text, which provides information both on the contents of the armoury and on the logic employed to justify the creation of spaces dedicated to military preparedness within a palace that was fast becoming one of the most revered sites in the Tibetan sphere.

The critical edition of I Puritani, published in 2013, provides an opportunity for some reflections on the nature of the operatic score compared with that of the literary text. Unlike the latter, the written dramatic-musical text does not coincide with the artwork; rather, it is the premise to the creation of a complex event, the theatrical performance. Bellini’s opera excellently exemplifies the point: the author’s thought is transmitted by multiple sources, each of which contains variants that are not in conflict with each other; they embody a compositional thought that contains within itself the flexibility of the performance. A case in point is offered by metronome markings: Bellini wrote up to four different indications for the same passage in different manuscripts. None of these should be considered to represent the author’s final idea; rather, they delimit the spectrum of options within which the interpreter is called to choose.

Abstract Benjamin Vandewalle and Yoann Durant label their performance Hear (2016) as an auditory choreography. Starting from an elaboration on the etymology of choreography I research what the auditory dimension adds and changes to choreography. Choreographing based on auditory decisions inverses sound and movement. This inversion has consequences from the process to the end result. Based on the sonic quality as main decision principle I unravel the creation process of Hear in seven main action: to stand, to walk, to breathe, to look, to move, to disappear and to sound. This division reveals how the actual choreographing doesn't stop at the end of the creation process. In the second half of the paper, I turn to the experience of an auditory choreography, where the body of the audience functions as a resonance box. The discomfort of a blindfold during the experience, leads to the installation of a delicate intimacy and reveals the close connection between sound, touch and movement. The precariousness of the installed intimacy triggers and enforces the audience imagination. Through my own experience of Hear I discover how the audience in an auditory choreography becomes a co-creator.

Abstract Twentieth-century Greco-French philosopher, economist, psychoanalyst and activist Cornelius Castoriadis offers a creative new conception of imagination that is uniquely promising for social justice. Though it has been argued that this conception has one fatal flaw, the latter has recently been resolved through a creative dialogue with dance. The present article fleshes out this philosophical-dancing dialogue further, revealing a deeper layer of creative dialogue therein, namely between Castoriadis’ account of time and choreography. To wit, he reconceives time as the self-choreography of the sociohistorical, in which performance the sociohistorical plays two dancing roles simultaneously, both choreographer and choreographed dancer. More precisely, as interpreted by Castoriadis in a late essay, the creation and emergence of forms in time consists of a poetic “scansion” or “scanning” of time. Thus, the sociohistorical is both choreographer and dancer, poet and reader, reinterpreting the poetic text of time as the music for its evolving dance.

The author's close connection to traditional Alaskan culture has inspired the creation and implementation of new multimedia instruments based on the use of ritual objects in shamanic cultures of the far north. Simultaneously, the musical processes articulated by this music are structurally tied to environmental systems in a technique discussed here as ‘ecoacoustics’. In this work, performer/composer interaction, musical composition theory, multimedia performance, and musical instrument design have been transformed in response to these influences.
