Manières d'être du musical
«Caractère», «densité», «texture», «bloc», «trait», «profil», «figure» ou encore «énergie» : ces termes, s'ils sont souvent convoqués dans le discours musicologique se référant aux oeuvres des XXe et XXIe siècles, résistent à la clôture d'une définition. De telles notions mobilisent différentes dimensions de l'écriture mais aussi cherchent chacune à désigner un aspect qualitatif du musical, ce « devenir illimité » du discours, difficile à neutraliser et à rationaliser. Cet ouvrage, issu d'un colloque, propose de « connaître l'individu à travers l'individuation plutôt que l'individuation à partir de l'individu » en interrogeant les outils compositionnels et les catégories qualitatives de l'écriture ayant pour fonction de différencier le musical en comportements ou manières d'être singuliers.

Parties, Preferences, and Congressional Organization: Explaining Repeals in Congress from 1877 to 2012
When does Congress repeal laws enacted by prior generations? Although the substantial body of work on policy creation provides tentative explanations, we believe repeals represent an alternative way of examining the effects of congressional organization on legislative behavior. In this paper, we develop hypotheses based on both the conditional nature of party power and the location of pivot points, and test these hypotheses with a new data set of repeals from 1877 to 2012. We find that the largest effects on Congress's capacity to repeal legislation are variation in the majority's positive agenda control and shifts in the gridlock interval. We also find that when the majority claims control of both chambers after a long stretch in the minority, there is an increased likelihood of repeal beyond what is predicted by conditional party government alone. Because the partisan factors in our model have the largest substantive effects, and because repeals do not occur automatically in productive Congresses, we characterize repeals as long-term contests between two great \"teams\" over the location of the status quo.

Unpacking Agenda Control in Congress: Individual Roll Rates and the Republican Revolution
The twelve years following the Republican revolution provide ideal ground to test existing theories of congressional behavior and organization. The authors examine the incidence of individual roll rates in the U.S. House to \"unpack\" the degree to which the 1994 election produced a change in agenda control and examine how it affected roll rates. Then, to understand differences in agenda control, we compare majority and minority party roll rates before and after the election. The results confirm majority party influence over the House agenda and show that the Republican leadership exhibited remarkably similar behavior to the Democrats prior to 1995.

The Influence of Conference Committees on Policy Outcomes
This article examines the effect that the spatial location of conference committees relative to the parent bodies has on congressional policy outcomes. The article presents a theoretical model proposing that conferees choose policies that maximize their policy utility subject to the constraint of gaining House and Senate majorities on the conference report. I tested the model using conferences on bills associated with votes that generated liberal-conservative divisions. The results confirm that, under specified conditions, conferees pull outcomes away from the parent bodies toward conferee preferences.

Do Librarians Understand the Subject Headings in Library Catalogs?
\"Understanding Subject Headings in Library Catalogs\" is the first large-scale study of understanding of subject headings. Its objectives were to determine the extent to which library users and librarians understood subdivided subject headings and to suggest approaches to improving subject-heading understanding. The impetus for the large-scale study was a recommendation of the Library of Congress (LC) Subject Subdivisions Conference that suggested standardizing the order of subject subdivisions for the purpose of simplifying subject cataloging. Here we focus on study findings about subject heading understanding and reference and technical services librarians. Not only did the study provide data and analyses to determine whether standardizing subdivision order would adversely affect understanding of subject headings, it examined whether reference librarians understood subject headings better than technical services librarians, whether subject heading context had an impact on understanding, and how the incorrect meanings librarians assigned to subject headings deviated from an expert's meanings. Based on the study's findings, the researchers challenge the library community to make major changes to the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) system, expand exposure to LCSH in library school programs, and improve the tools that technical services librarians use in applying subject headings to library catalog records.
