The End of Musical Biography? --$tBibliography --$tIndex 330 $aSince the second half of the twentieth century various routes, including history and literature, are offered in dealing with the catastrophe of World War II and the Holocaust. Historiographies and novels are of course written with words; how can they bear witness to and reverberate with traumatic experience that escapes or resists language? In search for an alternative mode of expression and representation, this volume focuses on postwar German and Austrian writers who made use of music in their exploration of the National Socialist past. Their works invoke, however, new questions: What happens when we cross the line between narration and documentation, and between memory and a musical piece? How does identification and fascination affect our reading of the text? What kind of ethical issues do these testimonies raise? As this volume shows, reading these musical biographies is both troubling and compelling since they 'fail' to come to terms with the past. In playing the haunting music that does not let us put the matter to rest, they call into question not only the exclusion of personal stories by official narratives, but also challenge writers' and readers' most intimate perspectives on an unmasterable past. 410 0$aInterdisciplinary German cultural studies ;$vVolume 10. 606 $aMusic and literature$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMusic and literature$zAustria$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aGerman fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMemory in literature 606 $aMusic in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMusic and literature$xHistory 615 0$aMusic and literature$xHistory 615 0$aGerman fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMemory in literature. 615 0$aMusic in literature. 676 $a830.9/3578 700 $aBen-Horin$b Michal$01027382 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465370603321 996 $aMusical biographies$92442786 997 $aUNINA
