Situé au carrefour du réel et de l'imaginaire, l'Autre constitue l'une des créatures intermédiaires les plus attrayantes pour le spectacle. Qu'il provienne des terres lointaines, des marges, des zones obscures de l'imagination ou de l'intimité, il structure les mythes fondateurs des sociétés et traverse leurs systèmes de représentation. De la Révolution française à la Première Guerre mondiale, de nouveaux dispositifs de construction de l'altérité se mettent en place, qui tout à la fois isolent, réprouvent, célèbrent et dénient l'altérité. Voici l'Autre en spectacle – dans les foires, les cirques, le vaudeville, le drame, le ballet, l'opéra, les Expositions universelles, le cabaret, le cinéma. Mais qui est-il ? Qui le regarde ? À quelles projections de soi face à l'Autre le spectateur est-il convié et à travers quels jeux d'illusions ? L'ouvrage interroge le sauvage et ses avatars, l'étranger, l'autre qui-nous-ressemble un peu, presque, tout à fait, et étudie les matériaux, transferts et médiations de ces figures d'altérité, dont beaucoup sont encore opératoires aujourd'hui.

'Sounding Authentic' considers the intersecting influences of nationalism, modernism, and technological innovation on representations of ethnic and national identities in 20th-century art music. Author Joshua S. Walden discusses these forces through the prism of what he terms the 'rural miniature' short violin and piano pieces based on folk song and dance styles.

Written by ten leading scholars, this volume assembles studies of eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century music under the broad rubric of communication. That such an impulse motivates musical composition and performance in this period of European musical history is often acknowledged but seldom examined in depth. The book explores a broad set of issues, ranging from the exigencies of the market for books and music in the eighteenth century through to the deployment of dance topoi in musical composition. A number of close readings of individual works by Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven draw on a sophisticated body of historically-appropriate technical resources to illuminate theories of form, metre, bass lines and dance topoi. Students and scholars of music history, theory and analysis will find in this volume a set of challenging, state-of-the-art essays that will stimulate debate about musical meaning and engender further study.

Some of the most popular works of 19th-century music were labelled either 'Hungarian' or 'Gypsy' in style, including many of the best-known and least-respected of Liszt's compositions. In the early 20th century, Bela Bartok and his colleagues questioned not only the Hungarianness but also the good taste of that style. Bartok argued that it should be discarded in favour of a national style based in the 'genuine' folk music of the rural peasantry.

Music reflects subjectivity and identity: that idea is now deeply ingrained in both musicology and popular media commentary. The study of music across cultures and practices often addresses the enactment of subjectivity "in" music - how music expresses or represents "an' individual or "a" group. However, a sense of selfhood is also formed and continually reformed through musical practices, not least performance. How does this take place? How might the work of practitioners reveal aspects of this process? In what sense is subjectivity performed in and through musical practices? This book explores these questions in relation to a range of artistic research involving contemporary musical practices, drawing on perspectives from performance studies, phenomenology, embodied cognition, and theories of gendered and cultural identity.

This volume focusses on the rarely discussed reverse side of traditional, ‘given’ objects of studies, namely absence rather than presence (of text) and silence rather than sound. It does so from the bifocal and interdisciplinary perspective which is a hallmark of the book series Word and Music Studies. The twelve contributors to the main subject of this volume approach it from various systematic and historical angles and cover, among others, questions such as to what extent absence can become significant in the first place or iconic (silent) functions of musical scores, as well as discussions of fields ranging from baroque opera to John Cage’s 4’33’’ . The volume is complemented by two contributions dedicated to further surveying the vast field of word and music studies. The essays collected here were originally presented at the Ninth International Conference on Word and Music Studies held at London University in August 2013 and organised by the International Association for Word and Music Studies. They are of relevance to scholars and students of literature, music and intermediality studies as well as to readers generally interested in phenomena of absence and silence.

This biography of the musician Franz Liszt contributes to our understanding of national identity formation and its interaction with cosmopolitanism. Liszt exemplified the nineteenth-century quest for subjective definition and fulfillment. Seeking to gain agency, authority, and community, Liszt experimented with various subject positions from which to forward his goals. The stances he selected, anchored in ideas about nation, religion, and art, allowed him to retain his cosmopolitan sensibility while making specific aesthetic and creative claims. Quinn’s analysis of Liszt’s correspondence and musical criticism, as well as of contemporary reviews of his performances, compositions, and essays, demonstrates the lack of a nationalist exclusivity in Liszt’s life was a historical phenomenon rather than a personal quirk as previous scholarship has often claimed.

In this book, Susan McClary examines the mechanisms through which seventeenth-century musicians simulated extreme affective states-desire, divine rapture, and ecstatic pleasure. She demonstrates how every major genre of the period, from opera to religious music to instrumental pieces based on dances, was part of this striving for heightened passions by performers and listeners. While she analyzes the social and historical reasons for the high value placed on expressive intensity in both secular and sacred music, and she also links desire and pleasure to the many technical innovations of the period. McClary shows how musicians-whether working within the contexts of the Reformation or Counter-Reformation, Absolutists courts or commercial enterprises in Venice-were able to manipulate known procedures to produce radically new ways of experiencing time and the Self.

Au sein des recherches actuelles sur l’émotion musicale, ce livre possède une approche originale : il ne s’agit pas tant de décrire la nature, les opérations et les fonctions de cette émotion, que de s’interroger sur les enjeux conceptuels, culturels, sociaux et artistiques de sa valorisation ou de sa dévalorisation. Autour de ce souci axiologique, il s’agit donc d’articuler des perspectives anthropologiques, esthétiques, historiques et pragmatiques afin de poser la question : au nom de quoi, en vue de quoi et dans quels moments de la musique occidentale, les acteurs impliqués par son exercice et sa compréhension revendiquent-ils ou refusent-ils l’émotion ? Dans la mesure où cette question engage les propriétés de la création, de l’exécution et de l’expérience musicale individuelle et collective, l’ouvrage tente de déterminer les points de vue multiples (religieux, philosophique, éthique, politique, esthétique et artistique) à partir desquels sont posées la valorisation ou la dévalorisation de l’émotion, tant dans les discours que dans les pratiques. Appréhender historiquement et conceptuellement la relation entre musique et émotion ; étudier certaines époques qui ont posé les termes du débat de façon cruciale ; explorer les dispositifs, les pratiques et les rôles joués par le compositeur, l’interprète et l’auditeur ; saisir le rapport que tel et tel type de musique ou genre musical (opéra, rock, jazz) entretient avec l’émotion, telles sont les quatre finalités de cet ouvrage.

The roots and evolution of two concepts usually thought to be Western in origin-musica mundana (the music of the spheres) and musica humana (music's relation to the human soul)-are explored. Beginning with a study of the early creeds of the Near East, Professor Meyer-Baer then traces their development in the works of Plato and the Gnostics, and in the art and literature of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Previous studies of symbolism in music have tended to focus on a single aspect of the problem. In this book the concepts of musica humana and musica mundane are related to philosophy, aesthetics, and the history of religion and are given a rightful place in the history of civilization.Originally published in 1970.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
