Abstract:

Music Performance<br>D.M.A.<br>Though many philosophers and music theorists have admitted the signification of the sublime in music as a possibility, the nature and mechanism of that signification has not yet been treated at length with a methodology familiar to musicians or native to music theory. Within this dissertation I have conducted a survey of the philosophy of the sublime as understood by Edmund Burke (1729 – 1797), Immanuel Kant (1724 – 1804), Friedrich Schiller (1759 – 1805), and Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 – 1860), with references to other contemporary philosophers and writers. The broader influence of the sublime in regards to German-speaking regions and certain musical composers was also considered. I then gathered from the above philosophers’ categories and definitions of the sublime a constellation of objects, qualities, and emotional states associated with the sublime. These functioned as signs or signifiers of the sublime, whose paths of signification were considered or determined with use of semiotics and topic theory, with reference to the work of Danuta Mirka, Raymond Monelle, and Leonard Ratner. Making reference to score examples listed in the list of figures, I implemented these techniques in analyses of Ludwig van Beethoven’s Sonata No. 30 in E Major, Op. 109 and Sonata No. 32 in C, Op. 111 as well as Franz Liszt’s “Mazeppa,” from the Études d’exécution transcendante, “Funerailles” from Harmonies Poétiques et Religieuses III, S. 173, and “Marche funèbre, En mémoire de Maximilian I, Empereur du Mexique” in from Années de pèlerinage III, S.163.<br>Temple University--Theses

Abstract:

This thesis examines the relationship between nihilism and postmodernism in relation to the sublime, and is divided into two parts: theory and literature. Beginning with histories of nihilism and the sublime, the Enlightenment is constructed as a conflict between the two. Rather than promote a simple binarism, however, nihilism is constructed as a temporally-displaced form of sublimity that is merely labelled as nihilism because of the dominant ideologies at the time. Postmodernism, as a product of the Enlightenment, is therefore implicitly related to both nihilism and the sublime, despite the fact that it is often characterised as either nihilistic or sublime. Whereas prior forms of nihilism are 'modernist' because they seek to codify reality, postmodernism creates a new formulation of nihilism – 'postmodern nihilism' – that is itself sublime. This is explored in relation to a broad survey of postmodern literature through a series of interconnected themes. These themes – apocalypse, the absurd, absence, and space – arise from the debates presented in the theoretical chapters of this thesis, and demonstrate the ways in which nihilism and the sublime interact within postmodern literature. Because of the theoretical and literary debates presented within it, this thesis concludes that it cannot be a thesis at all.

Abstract:

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO<br>Em que medida a arte, hoje, nos aproximaria da experiência da comoção como experiência de limites? É a partir desta primeira grande questão que se constrói esta dissertação. Aqui, é proposta uma reflexão filosófica sobre o sublime kantiano como categoria estética, cujo deslocamento, da esfera da natureza para a da arte, nos permitiria cogitar o acesso a um espectador, penso, cada vez mais dominado pela apatia. Trata-se de uma interrogação destinada à produção de arte na atualidade, em especial, às artes visuais, a partir do sublime kantiano.<br>To what extent would art, in our days, bring us closer to the experience of emotion as an experience of limits? It is upon this first important question that this dissertation is built. Proposed herein is a philosophical reflection on Kant’s sublime as an aesthetic category whose shift from nature’s to art’s sphere would allow us to consider the possibility of getting access to a spectator seemingly increasingly dominated by apathy, a characteristic aspect of the mass culture he is inserted into. An interrogation directed towards art’s production in present times, in particular in the visual arts, from the perspective of Kant’s sublime.

Abstract:

The meaning of the term ‘sublime’ has gone through several phases of development since its first formulation. Its birth dates back to the ancient Greece, when the rhetorician and philosopher Longinus for the first time puts to words what the ‘sublime’ is: something elevated, exceptional and extra-ordinary. His Peri Hypsous presents sublimity as strictly connected to the realm of rhetoric, a realm to which it would be confined for ages until the intervention of the French philosopher Nicolas Boileau in the seventeenth century. Slowly but incessantly, as the writings from John Dennis, Joseph Addison, Mark Akenside and John Baillie show, in the eighteenth century the rhetorical idea becomes ever-more connected to a more psychological approach, until in 1757 the epoch-making treatise A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful by Edmund Burke firmly establishes the sublime within the field of aesthetics. The young Irishman sets out to provide an analysis of both sublimity and beauty, however, the sublime idea would exercise a much wider influence in the century to come. Burke’s definition employs terms such as darkness, obscurity, privation, vastness, magnificence, but most importantly, claims that the emotive response of the individual in the presence of sublimity takes the shape of pain in pleasure, delight in terror. Of all the sources of sublimity, surely nature is among the most powerful: violent storms and raging seas, towering mountain chains, profound chasms etc. The aim of this dissertation is the analysis of the great influence of this theory, by taking into consideration the aesthetic responses of two of the most brilliant women writing in the nineteenth century and their unforgettable masterpieces, namely Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights.

Abstract:

In this thesis I discuss personal identity (the self) as it relates to authoritative contexts (the sublime). I show how these contexts confer meaning on personal and cultural narratives, which in turn confer meaning on facts and knowledge claims. I outline three conceptions of the self and sublime (Richard Rorty's, Charles Taylor's and Robert Kegan's), and address the implications of these for education. In conclusion I isolate a common product of all three perspectives---unconditional love---and recommend a 'will to positive description' as a necessary and desirable pedagogical goal.
