As the spectacle of Halley's Comet pierces the skies of Europe, traditional harmonies fade away and dissonance dawns. In this brilliantly conceived work, Thomas Harrison defines 1910 through a perceptive interdisciplinary analysis of the creative works produced during or close to that year, most of them as unsettling as the comet itself: the atonal music of Schoenberg, Berg, and Webern; the distraught poetry of Trakl, Campana, and Rilke; the militant philosophy of Lukacs, Simmel, and Buber; the abstract or subjectivist paintings of Kandinsky, Schiele, and Kokoschka. All are matched by historical and existential turbulence: epidemics of suicide and madness and the plight of Italians and Jews in the empire of Austria-Hungary. Unlike previous cultural studies of the pre-World War I era, this book locates the most significant traits of the period in Middle rather than Western Europe and in expressionism rather than in more celebrated developments of the avant-garde. Expressionism's violent extremes, Harrison argues provocatively, were the explosions of a last, desperate attempt by the intelligentsia to defend some of the most venerable presuppositions of Western culture. Among these were the idea of human subjectivity as the measure of all things, the habit of thinking in terms of antitheses, and belief in the universality of the understanding. Ultimately, Harrison claims, this ideological desperation was not only a spiritual prelude to World War I but also a prophetic, unheeded critique. 606 $aAesthetics, Modern$y20th century 606 $aExpressionism 606 $aAnxiety 606 $aPhilosophy, Modern$y20th century 607 $aEurope$xIntellectual life$y20th century 610 $a20th century europe. 610 $a20th century history. 610 $aacademic textbooks. 610 $acarlo michelstaedter biographies. 610 $adevelopment of science. 610 $aeuropean anthropology. 610 $aeuropean cultural climate. 610 $aeuropean culture. 610 $aeuropean history textbooks. 610 $aeuropean history. 610 $aeuropean literature. 610 $aeuropean philosophy. 610 $aeuropean science. 610 $aevolution of science. 610 $ahistory of carlo michelstaedter. 610 $ahomeschool history textbooks. 610 $ahuman sciences. 610 $alearning from experts. 610 $aphilosophy textbooks. 610 $apostwar history. 610 $astudy of culture. 610 $aworld war i history. 610 $ayear 1910. 615 0$aAesthetics, Modern 615 0$aExpressionism. 615 0$aAnxiety. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Modern 676 $a111/.85 700 $aHarrison$b Thomas J.$f1955-$025223 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495958703321 996 $a1910$92803916 997 $aUNINA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
