Adorno and Music : Critical Variations Paperback / softback
Edited by Peter E. Gordon, Alexander Rehding
Paperback / softback
Description
A special issue of New German Critique  The posthumous publication of Theodor W.
Adorno’s works on music continues to reveal the special relationship between music and philosophy in his thinking.
These important works have not, however, received as much scholarly attention as they deserve.
Contributors to this issue seek to provide insight into some of the key themes raised in these works, including the sociology of musical genre, the historical transformation of music from the "heroic" or high-bourgeois era to late modernity, the meaning of both performance and listening in the era of mass communication, and the specific challenges or deformations of the radio on musical form, a theme that implicates many of the digital practices of our own age.
There is much left to discover in these new publications, and they pose again, with renewed vigor, the question of Adorno’s Aktualität—his polyvalent, untranslatable term for, among other things, the intellectual relationship between the present and the past. Contributors Daniel K. L. Chua, Lydia Goehr, Peter E. Gordon, Martin Jay, Brian Kane, Max Paddison, Alexander Rehding, Fred Rush, Martin Scherzinger
