Undertones of Insurrection Music and Cultural Politics in the Modern German Narrative

Undertones of Insurrection Music and Cultural Politics in the Modern German Narrative

A basic tenet of literary studies is that aesthetic structures are politically significant because they represent an artist's response to the political implications of cultural codes with which the recipient of the modern work is also acquainted. This tenet provides the basis for the ideological associations attending the appearance of music in the modern German narrative. With his understanding of the arts as involved in often unacknowledged ideological forces within a culture Marc Weiner's Undertones of Insurrection bridges the gap between the New Musicology's rewarding infusion of modern cultural and literary theory into the study of music politically insightful examinations of narrative structures in the modern novel and the methodologically conservative area of musical-literary relations in Germanic Studies. In other words the questions it raises are different from those pursued in most examinations of music and literature because previous works of this kind concerning the literature of German-speaking Europe have often disregarded social concerns in general and political issues in particular. Ranging from 1900 to Doctor Faustus (1947) Weiner study sets the stage by examining public debates that conflated such issues as national identity racism populism the role of the sexes and xenophobia with musical texts. In the literary analyses that follow Weiner discusses both obvious connections between music and sociopolitical issues-Hesse's equation of jazz and insurrection in Steppenwolf-and covert ones the suppression of music in Death in Venice and the use of politically charged musical subtexts in Werfel's Verdi and Schnitzler's Rhapsody. By uncovering the ideological agendas informing cultural practice in modernist Germany Undertones of Insurrection calls for a reevaluation of the function of music in the modern German narrative. | Undertones of Insurrection Music and Cultural Politics in the Modern German Narrative

Climate Change and Critical Agrarian Studies

Climate Change and Critical Agrarian Studies

Climate change is perhaps the greatest threat to humanity today and plays out as a cruel engine of myriad forms of injustice violence and destruction. The effects of climate change from human-made emissions of greenhouse gases are devastating and accelerating; yet are uncertain and uneven both in terms of geography and socio-economic impacts. Emerging from the dynamics of capitalism since the industrial revolution — as well as industrialisation under state-led socialism — the consequences of climate change are especially profound for the countryside and its inhabitants. The book interrogates the narratives and strategies that frame climate change and examines the institutionalised responses in agrarian settings highlighting what exclusions and inclusions result. It explores how different people — in relation to class and other co-constituted axes of social difference such as gender race ethnicity age and occupation — are affected by climate change as well as the climate adaptation and mitigation responses being implemented in rural areas. The book in turn explores how climate change – and the responses to it - affect processes of social differentiation trajectories of accumulation and in turn agrarian politics. Finally the book examines what strategies are required to confront climate change and the underlying political-economic dynamics that cause it reflecting on what this means for agrarian struggles across the world. The 26 chapters in this volume explore how the relationship between capitalism and climate change plays out in the rural world and in particular the way agrarian struggles connect with the huge challenge of climate change. Through a huge variety of case studies alongside more conceptual chapters the book makes the often-missing connection between climate change and critical agrarian studies. The book argues that making the connection between climate and agrarian justice is crucial. The chapters in this book were originally published in The Journal of Peasant Studies.
