Multimodal stance-taking in interaction: A systematic literature review KU Leuven
Stance-taking, the public act of positioning oneself toward objects, people or states of affairs, has been studied in many fields of research. Recently, its multimodal realization in interaction has received increasing attention. The current contribution aims to take stock of research on multimodal stance-taking so far, and to present possible avenues for future research. We systematically gathered and appraised 76 articles that investigate the ...
Mapping musical dynamics in space. A qualitative analysis of conductors' movements in orchestra rehearsals KU Leuven
In this contribution, we examine the way in which orchestra conductors use the space around them to convey aspects of musical dynamics. In music, dynamics refers to the intensity of volume of notes and sounds and its interpretation is highly context-bound. We approach dynamics as a phenomenon of emergent and construed meaning in interaction, induced by the music score and the interpretation in situ by musicians and the conductor. Conductors' ...
Contrast Pairs in Orchestra Instruction as a Window into the Multimodal Expression of Stance KU Leuven
On the background of the increased interest in the phenomenon of stance-taking (i.a. Englebretson 2007, Debras 2015) this contribution explores the notion of contrast pairs (Weeks 1996, Messner 2020) as it is instantiated in orchestra instruction during rehearsal, an inherently stance-laden activity given its focus on evaluating and improving the musicians’ collective performance. Contrast pairs are sequences of closely juxtaposed depictions ...
Die kreative und interaktive Konstruierung mentaler Räume. Eine Fallstudie zum Phänomen des interaktiven Brainstorming KU Leuven
Cognitive approaches to linguistic creativity have focused primarily on the construction of hybrid or layered conceptualizations on the basis of a variety of cogni tive processes, including analogical reasoning, conceptual blending and compression, frame-shifting, deautomatization and many others. In the majority of linguistic studies, the focus is on the creative end product of these mechanisms, rather than on choices and pathways that lead to ...
Taking the trumpet up there: enactment of embodied high pitch in a multimodal body schema KU Leuven
This contribution examines how an expert musician teaches high pitch as an embodied practice in a digital instruction video. Musical meaning-making in this perspective calls for a naturalized phenomenology which deals with the practice of music teaching, which involves a performing body. The notion of high musical pitch in terms of an abstract embodied image schema is challenged in favor of a multidimensional body schema, conceptualized at the ...
Riflessioni mediatiche italo-belghe sulla 'ndrangheta in Belgio 2016-2020 KU Leuven
The article aims at updating the vague status of the ‘ndrangheta in Flanders (Belgium), at crossroads between Italy and the Netherlands, by means of a critical reading of recent open sources in Italian and Dutch. We analyze Flemish media representations of the 'ndrangheta (2016-2020), describing how De Standaard, Flanders’ reference newspaper gradually evolved from a focus on an Italian-Calabrian criminal phenomenon towards a more global ...
