Musical Style and Social Meaning
Why do we feel justified in using adjectives such as romantic, erotic, heroic, melancholic, and a hundred others when speaking about music? How do we locate these meanings within particular musical styles? These are questions that have occupied Derek Scott's thoughts and driven his critical musicological research for many years. In this selection of essays, dating from 1995-2010, he returns time and again to examining how conventions of representation arise and how they become established. Among the themes of the collection are social class, ideology, national identity, imperialism, Orientalism, race, the sacred and profane, modernity and postmodernity, and the vexed relationship of art and entertainment. A wide variety of musical styles is discussed, ranging from jazz and popular song to the symphonic repertoire and opera.

Climate change, water dynamics, multicultural living and a humanitarian crisis are just some of the complex phenomena shaping urban spatial performances – Raumgeschehen – today. The spatial design disciplines must respond with increasingly innovative approaches. Creating Knowledge explores what designing means, how it operates as a fundamentally creative competency, and how innovative design strategies can be formulated. Proceeding from an understanding of place and the world around us as Raumgeschehen – as innumerable spatial performances – the authors consider the urban landscape from a spatial perspective. A new introductory essay discusses the specific transformative capacity of design. Experts from the fields of philosophy, neurobiology, science theory, psychology, sociology, literature, art, urban design, and landscape architecture discuss how understanding and creativity are connected in their respective fields, and the relevance this has far beyond the realm of the design disciplines. Examples of current work from STUDIO URBANE LANDSCHAFTEN along with internationally renowned landscape architecture projects reveal how the production of ideas, design practice, and aesthetic expression are closely bound up with the process of understanding the landscape. Creating knowledge formulates an interdisciplinary and innovative design approach that is based on and reinterprets the concept of understanding in Gadamerian hermeneutics.
