The Sound of Žižek
Peter Lang Publishing Inc (Verlag)
978-1-4331-7898-6 (ISBN)
With an emphasis on the German modernist tradition from Wagner to Schönberg, a whole range of references to music are scattered throughout Žižek’s copious body of works. However, these efforts seem to go almost unnoticed within academia – at least on first glance. Looking more closely, one notices a subtle but nevertheless consistent adoption of Žižek’s theories within musicology, spreading across a broad range of topics and approaches. So, Žižek has become part of musicology, even if his presence is still uncharted territory.
The present volume, which appeals to musicologists and philosophers alike, intends to map different ways in which Žižek’s philosophy has been adopted in order to approach many of musicology’s core questions, from musical analysis to the opera studies, from contemporary music to the history of the discipline itself. At the same time it both reflects on and questions Žižek’s positions on musical aesthetics as expressed in his writings. Last but not least, the volume also features two essays by Žižek himself, reflecting his different approaches to writing about music.
Mauro Fosco Bertola studied philosophy in Italy and musicology in Heidelberg. He is the author of Die List der Vergangenheit. Musikwissenschaft, Rundfunk und Deutschlandbezug in Italien, 1890-1945 (2014) as well as co-editor of Žižek and Music (2017) and An den Rändern des Lebens. Träume vom Sterben und Geborenwerden in den Künsten (2019). He is currently leading a DFG-funded project on the presence of dream in contemporary musical theatre at the University of Tübingen.
