The oppositional notions of centre and periphery, mainstream and margin, and universal and local have long been important criteria for the scholarly study of Western music. Indeed they are often taken for granted. This paper will take a critical look at the relationship obtaining between art music the notion of a national music. The object of study is taken from among the works of the Canadian composer (of Czech origin) Oskar Morawetz. The point is not to deny that music can be legitimately associated with a given place but rather to examine how these complex, problematic relationships are created and how they evolve and/or dissolve over time.

From André Bazin to André Gaudreault, film theory seems to have reduced the discourse on “ adaptation ” to a shift of power and to a kind of technological determinism. This paper questions the validity of current theories and raises the relevance of repetition and poetics, which are trans-generic and trans-codal.
