El material recollit per l'OCPC és extraordinari i mostra les baules fermes que uneixen la llengua i la cultura dels Països Catalans. Cent anys després, la pregunta és si en queda res, d'aquella collita. Una aproximació a l'ús contemporani del material etnopoètic i etnomusicològic suggereix que s'ha perdut molt, però el com es transmet avui el material d'arrel tradicional porta a classificar les variants de cançons i històries en autèntiques, metavariants autèntiques i transcrites; i variants d'autor a més de l'aportació d'arxius de folklore digital. Aquest article s'apropa a l'evolució dels estudis d'un grup ètnic-ethnic group, realitzats per l'OCPC-cap als d'un sound group (Magrini 2003), terme que defineix tots aquells que comparteixen l'amor per la mateixa música. Avui, la música tradicional incorpora l'electrònica i s'inspira també en enregistraments del passat. Paraules clau: sound group, ethnic group, cançoner, arxius digitals, material etnopoètic i etnomusicològic a l'escola, tradició oral. From the Obra del Cançoner Popular de Catalunya to digital folklore. An overview of one hundred years in the evolution of oral musical traditions Abstract: 2022 is the hundredth anniversary of the Obra del Cançoner Popular de Catalunya (OCPC). The traditional material collected by the OCPC is extraordinary and demonstrates the common culture shared by the Catalan Countries. Nowadays, the question is if those traditional songs and stories are still present. A first approach suggests that the daily use of ethnopoetic and ethnomusicological material has lost much of its presence, but the ways that traditional material is transmitted today leads to the classification of variants of folk songs and stories into the following types: authentic variants; authentic and transcribed metavariants; author variants; and the contribution of the Digital Folklore Archives. This article analyses the evolution from the studies of an De l'Obra del Cançoner Popular de Catalunya al folklore digital. Aproximació a cent anys d'evolució de les músiques de tradició oral

However, AdS spacetime fails to be globally hyperbolic, so a classical field satisfying a hyperbolic wave equation on AdS spacetime need not have a well defined dynamics. Nevertheless, AdS spacetime is static, so the possible rules of dynamics for a field satisfying a linear wave equation are constrained by our previous general analysis-given in paper II-where it was shown that the possible choices of dynamics correspond to choices of positive, self-adjoint extensions of a certain differential operator, A. In the present paper, we reduce the analysis of electromagnetic, and gravitational perturbations in AdS spacetime to scalar wave equations. We then apply our general results to analyse the possible dynamics of scalar, electromagnetic, and gravitational perturbations in AdS spacetime. In AdS spacetime, the freedom (if any) in choosing self-adjoint extensions of A corresponds to the freedom (if any) in choosing suitable boundary conditions at infinity, so our analysis determines all of the possible boundary conditions that can be imposed at infinity. In particular, we show that other boundary conditions besides the Dirichlet and Neumann conditions may be possible, depending on the value of the effective mass for scalar field perturbations, and depending on the number of spacetime dimensions and type of mode for electromagnetic and gravitational perturbations.

General practice-based pharmacists provide a range of patient-facing services, such as medication reviews, management of long-term conditions and minor ailments, prescribing duties and answering queries over the telephone. Literature reports patients' satisfaction with general practice-based pharmacists' services, however, previous research captured only limited experiences. The aim of the current study was to pursue an extensive exploration of patients' experiences of pharmacists in general practice. Methods: General practice-based pharmacists, working in practices in West London, Surrey and Berkshire, handed invitation packs to patients seen during consultations. Patients that wanted to take part in the study were invited to undertake a qualitative, in-depth, face-to-face, semi-structured interview within the practice with which each patient was registered. Interviews lasted from 15 min to more than 1 h and were audio-recorded. Recruitment continued until data saturation. Audio-recordings were transcribed verbatim and transcripts analysed thematically. Results: Twenty participants were interviewed. Four themes were discerned: awareness ("I had been coming to this practice for 24 years and I didn't know that there was a pharmacist"); accessibility ("People ring for a GP [general practitioner] appointment … it's Monday and they [receptionist] tells you 'We can slot you in on Friday' … with a pharmacist on board, they can [instantly] look at you"); interactions ("I've always had a really good interaction with them [pharmacists] and they listen and they take on board what I'm trying to say"); and feedback ("It's easier [to collect feedback instantly] because I could have forgotten half of what they [pharmacists] have told me in an hour or so's time"). Conclusions: Findings indicate that pharmacists' integration into general practices could improve accessibility to, and the quality of, care received. The findings will assist policy development to provide general practice-based pharmacists' services as per patients' needs.

Aquesta obra no només és un llibre sobre la història d’una congregació femenina desapareguda, sinó sobre la dona a l’Església i societat mallorquina de la primera meitat del segle XX. En un món d’homes, pensat per homes i per a homes, unes manacorines van saber crear un espai d’apoderament per a la dona, un centre d’apostolat femení, d’encontre, de formació i de catequesi per a nins i nines, al·lots i al·lotes i dones manacorines de totes les edats, que donava servei a les necessitats femenines d’una societat en transformació.
Generally speaking, the songs disappeared some decades during the XXth century and it seems that some agents allowed to recuperate the musical activity. The apparent secularity of today’s society makes this repertoire not only directly related, as in the past, with the Easter religious experience; but still present, with a growing interest in its recovery within a new social context, far from its previous religious background. Now, the Salers and Quintos sing the old songs and compose new lyrics each year according to the tradition of the Majorcan glosa (lyrics improvisation during the singing) and promotes recreational activities. In addition, they end each season in a dance festival or concert, the most desired social gathering.
Gradually, this research became a study case focused on contemporary traditional music, in what is called “music revival” in modern Ethnomusicology: “a particular musical phenomenon distinguished by a certain set of shared assumptions, activities, and characteristics […] the vital roles played by the music revival as agents of cultural renewal and social healing, and their efficacy in making the past come alive into the present” (Livingston 2014: 60-61). Not only music revival, but also the Community Music theoretical framework as an approach to music making outside the teaching and learning formal situations are explored in this book.
The kidnapping of an eight-year-old girl, Kyoko Cox, made public the stay of John Lennon and Yoko Ono in Mallorca in 1971. The couple was arrested following an international request filed by Kyoko's father, Anthony Cox, and he had to appear in the court of Manacor to explain why the girl was taken away. All the events had taken place in a nursery in Cales de Mallorca, a town on the Manacor coast.
John Lennon had already been on the island, in the Transcendental Meditation courses that the Maharishi Mahesh Yogui taught between Cala Millor and Cales de Mallorca from 1970 to 1972. A technique that the Hindu guru had already taught the Beatles, the singer Donovan and part of the Beach Boys during the famous meeting in Rishikesh in 1968.
This essay collects oral testimonies and documents that allow us to imagine the Mallorca of 1970. Those years were the beginning of the ethic and aesthetics evolution of pop-rock music, that became, at the end of the millennium, a new religion for many teens.
Women have been object of significant changes in their dancing role during the 20th century, as well as Queer controversy has popped up into the folk-dance world. Women and their bodies were repressed by religious and social precepts; they could not dance in certain ways or at certain times; their sexuality, freedom and expression were under those rules. Although contemporary society seemed to have overcome these conditionings, it must be considered that some other forms of subjection for female bodies have appeared, and that is to match standard sizes or physical shapes; which feminist groups, for example, have denounced.
Some restrictions over female body were ignored in some social and anthropological contexts; thus, the Italian dance Taranta of Salento, back in the XX century, displayed how music and dance can unlock the female bodies supposedly sick and depressed under the bite of the tarantula spider. Various contemporary studies have shown that working with physical movement to balance mind and emotions is possible. Dancing, which provides body freedom, has always been controlled by agents of the inhibitory social background.
On the other hand, this paper studies the regulation of the dance practice and the female body image in the Francoist period. The Sección Femenina (Women’s Section) taught folk dances to girls only, under the policy of disseminating the «national spirit» through songs and dances. Oral testimonies tell how the folk dance, in Mallorca, almost disappeared and at that point had to be adapted in order to be performed again ; but at the same time, this choreographic standardizing by the Sección Femenina made clear that the dances were part of the local heritage and had to be taught again in order not to be lost forever.
One of these dances, the Bullanguera, was the subject of an intense debate on social media when two men danced in public, similar to what happened at the Moors and Christians festivities in Alcoy. Another parallel example, the contemporary performance of Argentine queer tango, helps to understand that dancing is a powerful tool for socializing, and public venues provide visibility, which is what sexual minority groups aim for. And finally, these minorities are passionate collaborators in the contemporary performance of music and dances that belong to the Intangible Heritage.
Finally, the feminist claim to dance male repertoire shows above all the intention of subverting patriarchal order: when the figures of Dimònies take over the party, when the Cossiers have to admit women in their performance, when two men dance together in a folk dance venue, that is when the controversy between the more traditionalists and renovators is at stake. No matter how much tradition is discussed, however, the only thing that guarantees his contemporary presence is its adaptability.
