We Hear Only Ourselves -- Let's Get Lost -- Of Fugue and Other Demons -- Does Beethoven Kill? - Absolute Music and the Self -- Wagner, Je T'aime ... Moi Non Plus -- The Dispersion of the Acoustic Self.Drawing on the analogy between musical meaning-making and human subjectivity,℗ this book℗ develops the concept of the℗ acoustic self, exploring℗ the ways in which musical characterization and structure are related to issues of subject-representation in the modernist English novel.℗ The volume is framed around three musical topics⁰́₄the fugue, absolute music, and℗ Gesamtkunstwerk⁰́₄arguing that these three modes of musicalization address modernist dilemmas around selfhood and identity. Varga reflects on the manifestations of the℗ acoustic self℗ in examples from the works of E.M. Forster, Aldous Huxley, and Virginia Woolf and such musicians as Bach, Beethoven, Handel, and Wagner. An additional chapter on jazz and electronic music supplements these inquiries, pursuing the℗ acoustic self℗ beyond modernism and thereby inciting further discussion and theorization of musical intermediality, as well as recent sonic practices.℗ Probing the analogies in the complex interrelationship between music, representation, and language in fictional texts and the nature of human subjectivity, this book will appeal to scholars interested in the interface of language and music, in such areas as intermediality, multimodality, literary studies, critical theory, and modernist studies.Acoustic Self in English Modernism and Beyond MusicPhilosophy and aestheticsMusicPhilosophy and aesthetics.780.1Varga Zoltan1272439NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910774705103321The Acoustic Self in English Modernism and Beyond3664685UNINA
