The media text of a musical work and its medium texts

Relevance of the study is due to the modern expectations of music science regarding the adequate reflection in its conceptual and terminological apparatus of the media reality of musical phenomena of the modern era. The key in this sense is the phenomenon of a musical work in the aspect of understanding its ontology as a media text. The phenomenon of the media text of a musical work is considered in the genetic interconnection with its medium texts. Theoretical base. The analytical basis of the reasoning presented in the scientific research is the work of the Ukrainian scientist-musicologist, the founder of the Ukrainian school of musical interpretation, Viktor Moskalenko. The achievements of the modern philosophical and sociological discourse, in particular, individual provisions of the works of Michel Foucault, Michel Maffesoli, Jacques Lacan, Jorjio Agamben, etc., own scientific positions and materials of musical-empirical experience structured on the basis of musical-performance practice of outstanding musicians became the essential basis of theoretical generalizations. - interpreters of the beginning of the 20th century 21st century The complex scientific methodology applied in scientific research, which combines the methods of empirical observations of the compositional and performance practice of musical activity, discourse analysis, comparative studies and musicological theoretical generalizations, deepens the understanding of the mechanisms of musical creativity in the plane of the media ontology of a musical work, which allows achieving the main objectives of substantiating the semantic content and concretizing analytical resource of concepts of media text and medium text of a musical work. The scientific novelty of the presented considerations is determined by the introduction into scientific circulation and the definitional specification of the concepts of media text and medium text of a musical work. The conclusion summarizes the results of the research, points out the perspective of the musicological examination of musical phenomena in the aspect of their media ontology, and substantiates the concepts of media text and the medium text of a musical work. The conducted research opens perspectives for the further development of musical media discourse and understanding of musical phenomena taking into account their modern noumenal media specificity

ANALYSIS OF DOCUDRAMA HISTORY AND REFERENTIAL RECONSTRUCTION OF SANG KIAI MOVIES: ADAPTATION OF BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORIOGRAPHIC TEXTS TO BIOPIC FILM

This article discusses about the conception of adaptation of biographical historiographic texts into the medium text in the Sang Kiai film which is a type of historical docudrama film. Adaptation conception shows a transposition pattern of content from historical biographical narrative texts constructed into the text medium of Sang Kiai film. By conducting a study on the Sang Kiai film through approaches of adaptation and heuristic, hermeneutic, and internal criticism methodology has produced a pattern of referential reconstruction in the production of historical genre film texts, especially in the types of biopic films. The Sang Kiai film is a moving picture biography of the K.H. Hasyim Asy'ari figure who narrated historical facts about the nationalism of the founder of the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) against the colonialist hegemony of Japanese and Allied fascist armies. Thus, the docudrama film which is positioned as a document of visualization of the historical facts about the past that is presented today through the reproduction of historical texts in the biopic film medium. The pattern of referential reconstruction shows that the biopic film of the Sang Kiai is a representation of the truth of the biographical facts of the K.H. Hasyim Asy'ari figure, although it was produced and presented through historical fiction film text

Description of Student Expectations on the Use of Film Vs. Text to Teach Bioethics: The Spheres of Ethics Teaching Using Film (SOETUF) College Study

Purpose: The overall goal of this analysis of our Spheres of Ethics Teaching Using Film (SOETUF) study was to assess whether college students, in approaching new information on bioethics presented using either a film or a written text, anticipated that one medium (film vs. text) would be more effective for addressing certain issues or would have different impacts on their emotions. Methods: This aspect of the SOETUF study consisted of 48 NYUAD college student volunteers who took the SOETUF Sans-Trigger (S-T) Questionnaire, as developed for this study: 1) the 11-item ‘Anticipated Types of Situation Domainof- Interest (ATOS-DOI); and 2) the 23-item ‘Anticipated Emotions Domain-of-Interest’ (AE-DOI). The study was approved by the NYUAD IRB as an Expedited Review category study. Results: The results for the ATOS-DOI revealed the students anticipated that text would be a more effective medium regarding thought provoking situations and would be more likely to create a cool analytical thinking situation and to create a lasting impact on them while they thought that film would be the superior medium for portraying violence, humour and hot empathy. For the AE-DOI, the students reported anticipating that film would be much better for evoking the emotions of terrified, frightened, anger, scared, disturbed, threatened, fearful and uncomfortable, as well as for feeling energetic. Conclusion: The SOETUF S-T Questionnaire demonstrated that it could detect meaningful differences in college students’ anticipated reaction to the use of a film trigger versus a text trigger in the teaching of bioethics.

Medium as frame: comparing mobile audio and video interactions in informal learning contexts

Concept-driven interaction design opens new pathways for research of information and communication technologies ICTs in educational contexts, between the particulars of a case study and the abstractions of theory. Explorative research in this project tested foundational theoretical ideas, such as medium specificity, through concrete designs in an authentic setting. During these separate but similar procedures, conducted a year apart, ordinary users were given representative tasks on mobile devices in order to examine the levels of involvement, social facilitation, and satisfaction generated by differing media forms within the mobile delivery system. From this perspective, direct comparisons could be made, for example, between audio and video forms. Enabling such comparisons has grown in importance with the advent of mobile and other convergent technologies that blend mediums to bring together media organisms to comingle. In the case of a smartphone, for example, mobile media designers now can choose which medium text, audio, video, animation, etc. they want to use within their master medium, which adds to the complexity of the design endeavour but also to the potential for new integrated and interactive forms to emerge as well as for more mindful context-tailored solutions.

Mapping the Landscape of Digital Petitionary Prayer as Spiritual/Social Support in Mobile, Facebook, and E-mail

Traditional prayers can function to provide spiritual and social support for oneself and others. With social media, this support finds a new expression in digital prayers. We map the landscape of digital petitionary prayers for self and others across three different media. In survey one (n = 218), frequency of digital petitionary prayers, described by topic, relationship, place, and outcome, was highest for the mobile medium (phone and text messaging), midrange for Facebook (posting and e-mail), and lowest for traditional e-mail. A second survey (n = 116) revealed that different types and contexts for petitionary prayers are positively associated with love of self, others, and God. Suggestions for future research include investigating the quality and outcomes of petitionary prayers across private, face-to-face, and digital contexts.
