Тарускин, Р. ""'Everybody Gotta be Someplace' (on Context)"." Музыкальная академия, no. 2(782) (June 26, 2023): 52–83. http://dx.doi.org/10.34690/308.

Abstract:
Данная публикация представляет собой перевод 21-й главы из посмертного сборника очерков Ричарда Тарускина «О временах и судьбах: программные выступления и заметки по случаю, 2006–2019» («Musical Lives and Times Examined: Keynotes and Clippings, 2006–2019»), выпущенного издательством Калифорнийского университета в начале 2023 года. В основе текста лежит ключевой доклад американского ученого, произнесенный 25 октября 2018 года в Белградском университете искусств на XIV Международной конференции «Контекстуальность музыкознания — что, как, почему и потому» («Contextuality of Musicology—What, How, Why and Because»). В этом выступлении Ричард Тарускин обобщил особенности своего научного метода, подчеркнув значение контекстуализации для герменевтически ориентированной истории музыки. Принципиальным моментом для автора статьи является широкое понимание категории контекста при интерпретации явлений музыкального искусства: контекст простирается во времени от того момента, когда автор задумал свое произведение, до дней жизни музыкального критика; при этом смысл сочинения не ограничивается содержанием, которое вложил в него творец, — он включает в себя все значения, возникшие в процессе восприятия. Отстаивая метод контекстуализации, Тарускин вступает в полемику с его противниками. Он протестует против слишком узкого понимания категории контекста, принятого у музыкальных теоретиков США под влиянием литературной Новой критики: по мнению ученого, неправомерно и нелогично идентифицировать с данной категорией текст музыкальной пьесы как наиболее масштабную структуру по отношению к его частям (хотя такая практика и распространена у тех, кто анализирует музыку). Действуя подобным образом, мы фактически вводим запрет на рассмотрение того, что является собственно контекстом произведения, — в этом Тарускин видит пережиток романтической эстетики автономного искусства, сохраняющей влиятельные позиции как в литературоведении, так и в музыкознании США. Тем, кто придерживался и продолжает придерживаться этих позиций, Тарускин предъявляет этические обвинения: деконтекстуализация означает, по его мнению, бегство от социальной и политической реальности, а также в конце концов от собственной «нечистой совести»; в этой связи особое значение имеет заключительный раздел статьи, в котором анализируются исполнения симфонической музыки Берлинским филармоническим оркестром под управлением Вильгельма Фуртвенглера в последние годы Второй мировой войны, а также отклики современников — жителей обреченной на поражение столицы Германии. Острие полемики Тарускина направлено и в другую сторону: против тех, кто, атакуя традиции Новой критики в американской академической науке, призывают отказаться от категории контекста в принципе. Таковыми являются сторонники акторно-сетевой теории, последователи Бруно Латура: выступая в защиту произведений искусства как «не-человеческих акторов», они фактически упраздняют или сводят к минимуму роль автора и интерпретатора. Данный подход представляется абсурдным по чисто интеллектуальным соображениям — как номиналистская игра слов (получается, что произведения сами себя сочиняют и сами разговаривают со своей аудиторией). Но еще более он неприемлем для Тарускина этически: наделяя субъектностью то, что составляет среду обитания музыкальных сочинений, их «мир», то есть в конечном счете контекст, сторонники новейших подходов снимают ответственность с подлинных акторов художественного процесса (композиторов и критиков в случае, если речь идет о музыке), позволяя им действовать под прикрытием бесчисленных «агентов» истории искусства. Перевод с английского и комментарии Р. А. Насонова. This publication is a translation of the 21st chapter from the posthumous collection of essays by Richard Taruskin “Musical Lives and Times Examined: Keynotes and Clippings, 2006-2019,” released by the University of California Press in early 2023. The text is based on the key report of the American scholar, delivered on October 25, 2018, at the Belgrade University of the Arts at the 14th International Conference “Contextuality of Musicology—What, How, Why and Because.” In this talk, Richard Taruskin summarized the features of his scholarly method, emphasizing the importance of contextualization for a hermeneutical-oriented history of music. The fundamental point for the author of the article is a broad understanding of the category of context when interpreting the phenomena of musical art: the context extends in time from the moment when the author conceived his work to the days of the life of a music critic. At the same time, the meaning of the composition is not limited to the content that the creator put into it; it includes all the meanings that have arisen in the process of perception. Defending contextualization as a method, Taruskin enters into controversy with its opponents. He protests against the too narrow understanding of the context adopted by US music theorists under the influence of literary New Criticism: according to the scholar, it is wrong and illogical to identify the text of a musical piece—as the most large-scale structure in relation to the parts of music composition—with this category (although this practice is common among those who analyze music). Acting in this way, we actually introduce a ban on consideration of what is the actual context of the work—Taruskin regards this practice as a relic of the romantic ideal of aesthetic autonomy, which retains an influential position both in literary criticism and in musicology in the United States. Taruskin makes ethical accusations against those who adhered and continue to adhere to these positions: decontextualization means, in his opinion, an escape from social and political reality, and also, in the end, from one’s own “bad conscience.” In this regard, the final section of the article is of particular importance: Taruskin analyzes the performances of symphonic music by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Wilhelm Furtwengler in the last years of World War II, as well as the responses of contemporaries, residents of the German capital doomed to defeat. The edge of Taruskin’s controversy is also directed on the other side of polemics: against those who, attacking the traditions of New Criticism in American academia, call for abandoning the category of context in principle. Such are the supporters of the actor-network theory, the followers of Bruno Latour: speaking in defense of works of art as “non-human actors,” they actually abolish or minimize the role of both the author and interpreter. This approach seems absurd for purely intellectual reasons—as a nominalist conceit (it turns out that the works compose themselves and speak to their audience on their own). But it is even more unacceptable for Taruskin ethically: endowing subjectivity to what makes up the environment of musical compositions, their “world,” that is, ultimately, the context, supporters of the latest scholarly approaches remove responsibility from the true actors of the artistic process (composers and critics in case we are talking about music), allowing them to operate under the guise of countless “agents” of art history.

Abstract:
The paper presents a proposal for defining the concept of music criticism and types of critical texts. The historical development of music criticism, its problems, methods, goals and main representatives are presented. The history of music criticism is ideologically connected with music, and primarily appeared in occasional publications. Criticism of musicians began continuously in the middle of the 18th century, when the first open discussions on various issues of music appeared. Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Johann Mattheson and Charles Burney stand out among the first music critics. The last years of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century were marked by change, and now the main patron of music, and therefore of criticism, became the middle class and not the previous aristocracy. It is important to apostrophize the fact that criticism of the 18th century was predominantly focused on vocal music, while instrumental music had a subordinate place. Vocal music, according to the aesthetic concepts of the time, represented the pinnacle of musical expression, and criticism had the task of continuously and tirelessly promoting it. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the situation changed, and instrumental music gained a prominent place in criticism.

Abstract:
"The paper focuses on the 2010s in the history of Ukrainian music criticism. The materials on contemporary art music were chosen to support the authors’ reflections and conclusions. Selection of the time, period and material for the research are conditioned both with the specific social situation of Ukraine and with the recent developments in its music scene. The paper characterizes the main media, most popular critical genres, and methods of critical coverage. It is highlighted that the problems of Ukrainian music criticism during the 2010s were linked to the post-Soviet past and, in general, to the colonial status of Ukrainian culture in the Russian Empire and later in the Soviet Union. Such problems include the absence of independent journals for music criticism, dominance of information genres over reviews, general stable positive evaluation of musical scene activity etc. A few examples illustrate the gradual changing of situation during the 2010s. The authors offer to consider that new period of Ukraine music criticism history began in 2020 when The Claquers, a critical media about art music in Ukraine and abroad aiming to solve the mentioned problems, was established. Keywords: Ukrainian music criticism, contemporary art music, policy of colonialism, review, announcement. "

Abstract:
As the Croatian lands were exposed to often aggressive Austrian, Hungarian, and Italian politics until WWI and in some regions even later, so Croatian music criticism was written in the Croatian, German and Italian languages. To the best of our knowledge, the history of Croatian music criticism began in 1826 in the literary and entertainment journal Luna, and was written by an anonymous author in the German language.A forum for Croatian language music criticism was opened in Novine Horvatzke, i.e. in its literary supplement Danica horvatska, slavonska i dalmatinska in 1835, which officially started to promote the Croatian National Revival, setting in motion the process of constituting the Croatian nation in the modern sense of the word. However, those articles cannot be considered musical criticism, at least not in the modern sense of the word, as they never went beyond the level of mere journalistic reports. The first music criticism in the Croatian language in the true sense of the word is generally considered a very comprehensive text by a poet Stanko Vraz (1810-51) about a performance of the first Croatian national opera Ljubav i zloba (Love and malice) by Vatroslav Lisinski (1819-54) from 1846. In terms of its criteria for judgement, that criticism proved to become a model for the majority of 19th-century and later Croatian music criticism. Two judgement criteria are clearly expressed within it: national and artistic.Regardless of whether we are dealing with 1) ideological-utilitarian criticism, which was directed towards promoting the national ideology (Franjo Ksaver Kuhač, 1834-1911; Antun Dobronić, 1878-1955), 2) impressionist criticism based on the critic’s subjective approach to particular work (Antun Gustav Matoš, 1873-1914; Milutin Cihlar Nehajev, 1880-1931; Nikola Polić, 1890-1960), or 3) Marxist criticism (Pavao Markovac, 1903-41), we may observe the above mentioned two basic criteria. Only at the end of the period under consideration the composer Milo Cipra (1906-85) focused his interest on immanent artistic values, shunning any ideological utilitarianism, and insisting on the highest artistic criteria.

Abstract:
Objectives This study examines the problems in the contents of high school textbook Music Appreciation and Criticism, and proposes improvement directions accordingly. Methods For this purpose, the 2015 revised textbook Music Appreciation and Criticism's unit composition, organization, and Gugak contents were analyzed. Results The problems of high school music appreciation and criticism education are, first, that Gugak is not universally covered in music. Second, the majority of music pieces overlapped with general Music textbooks, and third, the fact that the description of Gugak was remarkably lacking compared to Western music history, and fourth, there was no concept and critical awareness of Gugak criticism. Since music appreciation and criticism education is a special subject for students majored in music, it should have more advanced content than general Music textbooks, but there was room to instill musical prejudice. Conclusions The improvement direction for these problems is, first, to understand Korean traditional music universally. Second, a critical mind about the criticism of Gugak will be preceded. Third, future-oriented education with the context of the times was to be pursued. Fourth, appreciation music was to be presented in a more diverse way and learning contents were to be converged. When these suggestions for improvement are fully considered and improved, the appreciation and criticism of Gugak can also develop in a creative direction.

Abstract:
Abstract Thomas Mann’s novel Doktor Faustus, first published 1947, tells the story of a fictional German musician, Adrian Leverkühn, paralleled with the rise and fall of Germany in the first half of the 20th century. In fact, the idea of Doktor Faustus predated Mann’s exile, and it had been already conceived as a work of lateness – a Faust, a Parsifal in prose. In the process of creating variations on lateness, Mann referred to the musical models of Beethoven, Wagner, Mahler, Schoenberg, and the music criticism of Theodor W. Adorno. As a product of Mann’s exile in Southern California, Doktor Faustus connects the concept of lateness with his experience of exile through music, as Edward Said would later point out in his reflections on “late style.” By engaging with pre-existing compositions and criticism, I will present Doktor Faustus as a novelistic rendering of musical lateness that not only engages with compositions such as Wagner’s Parsifal and Mahler’s Ninth Symphony but also sheds new light on the interpretation of lateness as an artistic and – above all – human experience.

Abstract:
This article examines the idea of ‘Critical Networks’ as a way of studying the relational structures that shaped music criticism in the long nineteenth century. We argue that the personal, institutional and international networks that supported the dissemination of critical ideas about music are worthy of study in themselves, as they can yield insights beyond prevailing methodologies that centre on individual cases.Focusing on the institutional culture of music criticism means looking beyond the work of individual critics and the content or influence of their views, towards the structures that determined the authoritativeness of those views and the impact of these structures in shaping the operation of critical discourse on music at the time. Examining these networks and how they operated around particular periodicals, tracing transnational exchanges of both ideas and critics, and uncovering the various ideological alliances that were forged or contested within critical networks, can not only provide a thicker context for our understanding of historical ideas about music, but it can also challenge current views about the history of our discipline and the kinds of structures that condition our own ideas about music and music history.

Abstract:
From November 1939 to March 1941, the monthly magazine ?Slavenska muzika?, a journal of the Association of Friends of Slavic Music, was published in Belgrade. The magazine did not differ from other Serbian magazines of the interwar period in its sections. ?Slavic music? also published essays on music, music criticism, reviews of books and music editions, notes, news, obituaries, and in one case, polemics. However, differentia specifica of this review is the exclusive focus on the music of the Slavic nations. The study provides a review and analysis of the texts in this journal. It was noticed that in ?Slavic music? were crossed the Slavophile idea, which has a long tradition among Serbs, and Marxism, at that time strongly represented by one part of Belgrade musicians. The study also contains an integral bibliography of ?Slavic music?, which has not been published so far.

The book that everyone in musicology is talking about this year—not just those of us working in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries—is Joseph Kerman's Contemplating Music (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1985; called simply Musicology in the English edition). In it, Kerman argues against what he calls positivism, which he defines as a rigid and non-judgmental pursuit of dry facts, and in favor of the higher criticism, by which he seems to mean analysis—or at least some penetrating discussion of the way individual pieces work and what makes them great—informed by a sense of history and written in a humanistic style, with a personal commitment on the part of the author to the quality of the music with which he is concerned.

Abstract:
Pavle Stefanovic (1901-1985) is one of the most prominent Serbian music critics and essayists. He created extensive musicographic work, largely scattered in periodicals. A philosopher by education, he had an excellent knowledge of music and its history. His style was marked by eloquence, associativity and plasticity of expression. Between 1938 and 1940 he published eighteen music reviews in The Music Herald, the longest-running Belgrade music magazine in the interwar period (1928-1941, with interruption from 1934 to 1938). Stefanovic wrote about concerts, opera and ballet performances in Belgrade, performances by local and eminent foreign artists. His reviews include Magda Tagliaferro, Nathan Milstein, Jacques Thibaud, Enrico Mainardi, Bronis?aw Huberman, Alexander Uninsky, Alexaner Borovsky, Ignaz Friedman, Nikita Magaloff and many other eminent musicians. Th is study is devoted to the analysis of the Stefanovic?s procedure. Pavle Stefanovic was an anti-fascist and left ist. He believed that the task of a music critic was not merely to analyze and evaluate musical works and musical interpretations. He argued that the critic should engage in important social issues that concerned music and music life. That is why he wrote articles on the occasion of German artists visiting Belgrade, about the persecution of musicians of Jewish descent and the cultural situation in the Third Reich. On the other hand, Stefanovic was an aesthetic hedonist who expressed a great sense of the beauty of musical works. Th at duality - a socially engaged intellectual and a subtle ?enjoyer? of the art - remained undisturbed. In these articles he did not go into a deterministic interpretation of the structure of musical composition and the history of music. And he did not accept the larpurlartistic views.

Abstract:
The beginning of 2006 marked two decades since the death of Stana Djuric-Klajn, the first historian of Serbian musical literature. This is the exterior motive for presenting a summary of the state and results of up-to-date musicology research into Serbian musical criticism and essay writings during the XIXth and the first half of the XXth century, alongside the many works dedicated to this branch of national musical history, recently published. In this way the reader is given a detailed background of these studies ? mainly the authors' names, books, studies, articles, as well as the problems of this branch of Serbian musicology. The first research is associated with the early years of the XXth century, that is, to the work of bibliography. The pioneer of Serbian ethnomusicology, Vladimir R. Djordjevic composed An Essay of the Serbian Musical Bibliography until 1914, noting selected XIXth century examples of Serbian literature on music. Bibliographic research was continued by various institutions and experts during the second half of the XXth century: in Zagreb (today Republic of Croatia); the Yugoslav Institute for Lexicography, Novi Sad (Matica srpska); and Belgrade (Institute for Literature and Art, Slobodan Turlakov, Ljubica Djordjevic, Stanisa Vojinovic etc). In spite of the efforts of these institutions and individuals, a complete analytic bibliography of music in Serbian print of the last two centuries has unfortunately still not been made. The most important contributions to historical research, interpretation and validation of Serbian musical criticism and essay writings were given by Stana Djuric-Klajn, Dr Roksanda Pejovic and Dr Slobodan Turlakov. Professor Stana Djuric-Klajn was the first Serbian musicologist to work in this field of Serbian music history. She wrote a significant number of studies and articles dedicated to Serbian musical writers and published their selected readings. Prof. Klajn is the author and editor of the first and only anthology of Serbian musical essay writings. Her student Roksanda Pejovic published two books (along with numerous other factually abundant contributions), where she synthetically presented the history of Serbian criticism and essay writings from 1825 to 1941. Slobodan Turlakov, an expert in Serbian criticism between the World Wars, meritorious researcher and original interpreter, especially examined the reception of music of great European composers (W. A. Mozart, L. v. Beethoven, F. Chopin, G. Verdi, G. Puccini etc) by Serbian musical critics. Serbian musical criticism and essay writings were also the focus of attention of many other writers. The work quotes comments and additions of other musicologists, but also historians of theatre, literature and art philosophers, aestheticians, sociologists, all members of different generations, who worked or still work on the history of the Serbian musical criticism and essay writings. The closing section of the text suggests directions for future research. Firstly, it is necessary to begin integral bibliographical research of texts about music published in our press during the cited period. That is a project of capital significance for national science and culture; realization needs adequate funding, the involvement of many academic experts, and time. Work on bibliography will also enable the collection and publication of sources: books and articles by Serbian music writers who worked before 1945. A separate problem is education of scholars. To study musical literature, a musicologist needs to be knowledgeable about the history of Serbian literature, aesthetic theory, and theatre, national social, political and cultural history, and methodology of literary study. That is why facilities for postgraduate and doctorial studies in musicology are necessary at the Faculties of Philology and Philosophy.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTAlthough philosophical and biographical accounts of Nietzsche and Wagner abound, the musical issues at stake in the late text Der Fall Wagner (The Case of Wagner, 1888) have rarely been addressed within their wider cultural context. This article explores the nineteenth-century concepts of decadence and degeneration as relevant for understanding the ambivalence of Nietzsche's late critique of Wagner. Emphasizing his affinity with contemporary French criticism, it argues that his late texts advance a theory of decadence pertinent to current music history and criticism. It locates The Case of Wagner within the larger discourse of degeneration, probing similarities to and differences from the work of surrounding critics of Wagnerism. Nietzsche's critique combines a condemnation of Wagner's music with a more positive appreciation of the composer's historical relevance. Yet his writings also reveal a fundamental conflict between his personal involvement with Wagner's music and his philosophical quest to analyse this music as expressive of modernity.

Abstract:
AbstractAlthough canon formation has been discussed in popular music studies for over a decade, the notion of what constitutes ‘the popular music canon’ is still vague. However, considering that many scholars resent canon formation due to the negative effects canons have exerted on other academic fields, analysis of canon formation processes in popular music studies seems desirable: awareness of these processes can be a valuable tool for scholars’ assessment of how their academic choices contribute to canon formation. Based on an examination of the reception history of Queen in the popular mainstream, music criticism and academia, this article argues that a universally valid popular music canon does not exist and that canon formation in popular music is based on the same criteria as in the ‘high’ arts, i.e. transcendence, historical importance and ‘greatness’, although the latter is replaced by ‘authenticity’ in the popular music context. While canons can be theorised in various ways, a model that distinguishes between canonic strata according to listeners’ relationship to music is particularly useful as it reveals the relative importance of the three canonic criteria within different strata and how they are applied.

Abstract:
Within the study of rock music, religion appears as a racial marker or a biographical attribute. The concept of religion, and its co-produced opposite, the secular, needs critical analysis in popular music studies. To inaugurate this work this article returns to the moment in singer-songwriter Bob Dylan’s career that is most unmarked by religion, namely his appearance with an electric guitar at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival. Dylan’s going electric became, through subsequent years of narrative attention, a secularizing event. “Secularizing event” is a phrase coined to capture how certain epochal moments become transforming symbols of divestment; here, a commitment writ into rock criticism as one in which rock emerged by giving up something that had been holding it back. Through a study of this 1965 moment, as well as the history of electrification that preceded it and its subsequent commentarial reception, the unreflective secular of rock criticism is exposed.

Abstract:
During the first half of the twentieth century, new mass media practices radically altered traditional cultural forms and performance in a complex encounter that incited much debate, criticism, and celebration the world over. This essay examines how the new sound media of gramophone and sound cinema took up the live performance genres of Tamil drama. Professor Hughes argues that south Indian music recording companies and their products prefigured, mediated, and transcended the musical relationship between stage drama and Tamil cinema. The music recording industry not only transformed Tamil drama music into a commodity for mass circulation before the advent of talkies but also mediated the musical relationship between Tamil drama and cinema, helped to create film songs as a new and distinct popular music genre, and produced a new mass culture of film songs.

Based on her research conducted on the spot in 1994 as well as on sources from the estate of Ernő Dániel, the paper also reconstructs the history of the premieres in California during the early 1960s of Psalmus Hungaricus (Santa Barbara, 1961) and the Symphony (Santa Barbara and Los Angeles, 1963). The article also surveys the career of Ernő Dániel, an alumnus of the Budapest Music Academy, in America (1949–1977)

Abstract:
The reception history of Ludwig van Beethoven's symphonies in America offers striking evidence of multiple, previously unidentified, Continental and English connections to the musical thought of John Sullivan Dwight (1813–93), the first American-born critic of art music, and therefore to early American conceptions of the symphony in the 1840s. These direct links illuminate the history and criticism of the first performance in America of Beethoven's Symphony no. 9 in D minor, op. 125, which took place in New York in 1846. From the many sources associated with Dwight's musical learning and aesthetic education, I have chosen in this article to examine Dwight's literary interest in Johann Christoph Friedrich Schiller's poem ‘An die Freude’ and in Thomas Carlyle's biography of Schiller, to document his knowledge of commentary on the symphony by the German critic Adolf Bernhard Marx, and to describe Dwight's response to the initial American performance of the Ninth Symphony.

Abstract:
AbstractIn an environment of racial tension and conflict in Southern California during the first half of the twentieth century, the Ramona Pageant and the plays by the Padua Hills Mexican Players offered Mexican American performers a vital role in perpetuating cultural memory through music and dance. The Ramona Pageant, which began in Hemet, California in 1923 and is still in operation, remains one of the longest-running pageants, or historical dramas, in U.S. history. Similarly, the Mexican Players were founded during the Great Depression in 1931 in Claremont, California and performed continuously for more than forty years. This article argues that Hispanic musicians achieved a degree of cultural agency in these plays through the performance of Mexican folk music, especially canciones (love songs) and corridos (narrative ballads), which were essential elements in the “soundscape” of the Southwest. Although Anglos created and directed the plays, they did not create or perform the music. In spite of the plays’ largely romanticized portrayals of California's Spanish and Mexican past, they provided some of the few prominent forums in Southern California for Mexican American musicians and dancers during the first half of the twentieth century.

Abstract:
This article examines, from Norwegian sources, the stormy relationship between the local American canned fish industry and the Norwegian producers – and American importers – of Norwegian canned fish, principally ‘sardines’ (sprats) and herring. American opposition took the form of protectionism, either as direct import duty, or by implied criticism of the Norwegian industry (use of child labour or ‘inexperienced’ producers, or claims of ‘dumping’ sub-standard goods on the US market). Opposition varied with the national and international politics and economics of the day, with Republicans and Democrats raising and reducing tariffs depending on the state (and complaints) of the local canning industries in Monterey and Maine. The Great Crash and resulting devaluation of foreign currencies against the dollar, and thereafter abandoning the gold standard, also played their part. The Dingley Tariff, the Payne–Aldrich Tariff Act, the Underwood Tariff, the Fordney–McCumber Tariff and GATT are treated in more detail. In the end, it was acknowledged that it was not a matter of competition, but of preferences for Norwegian sprat canned in olive oil, as opposed to American herring packed in cottonseed oil, and primarily marketed to Norwegian immigrants. In all, the issue lasted for over 70 years, ending in the words – to the Norwegian National Canneries Association – ‘ Congratulations unanimous win in tariff commission’.

On the other hand, the method used in this research is a historical research method with 4 stages, namely heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The result of this research is the history of the emergence of metal music in Indonesia, the enthusiasm of young people towards metal music began to emerge in the 1980s. The bond between metal music and Indonesian culture is very opposite to the cultural background of Indonesians who have friendly and polite behavior, are wise, far from aggressive.

Abstract:
Abstract Old Comedy often brings prostitute-like dancers on stage while parodying the New Music. This paper argues that such dances were reminiscent of sex practices, and supports this view with dance-historical and semantic evidence. For the history of Greek dance, I survey the literary evidence for the existence of a dance tradition that represents lovers and their acts, and which would easily provide Comedy with dance vocabulary to distort. The semantic analysis of three comic passages, all criticising the New Music in sexual terms, shows a consistent overlapping between the semantic fields of eroticism and of bodily movement, with several terms indicating both figures of lovemaking and figures of dance. By performing comically revisited erotic dances or by verbally alluding to them, prostitutes would powerfully embody the conservative criticism of Old Comedy against the new trends in dance promoted by the New Music.

Abstract:
This article is an attempt to read Walter Benjamin's essay Goethe's Affinity through the concept of 'counterpoint' in music. First, I argued that Benjamin appropriated the concept of “affinity” for his own art criticism and he valued the interaction between a writer and a critic as a production of “affinity” while criticizing a biographical approach toward a writer. Secondly, I proposed that Benjamin’s initial efforts for a dialectical structure resulted in the discontent with its “synthesis,” which Goethe had also echoed in his novel. Due to such a discord, Benjamin had to abandon the system for his essay which had been expressed as the table of contents. However, I’d like to suggest such a theoretical trajectory as a process to form “dialectics outside dialectics,” which nurtured Benjamin’s unique “synthesis” of Messianism and philosophy of history. I concluded that Benjamin's Goethe's affinity adopted a 'counterpointal rhythm' to refashion dialectics for his unique art criticism.

Abstract:
In the article a historically significant situation is considered, when with the revival in the last third of the twentieth century of B. Asafyev's ideas on music as a sound intonation environment and an art of intoned meaning, as well as because of the expansion of modern humanitarian knowledge due to close interdisciplinary links, the musical criticism underwent a process of active development, synthesizing the subject field of historical and theoretical musicology on the basis of culturology and philosophy. The achievements of this process have been analyzed, which demonstrate a radical renovation of the conceptual and semantic content of the leading categories of musicology, in particular, in relation to the interpretation of historical phenomena in music in view only of their inherent worldview paradigms. Analytical algorithms for detecting epistemologically reliable data on the style of epochs and criteria for compiling their generalized "image" under the guise of an invariant model are specified. The expediency of a monadological (nonlinear) approach to the history of music, which methodologically corresponds to the idea of "philosophy of integrity", is proposed and substantiated.

Adorno’s work, in particular the texts dealing with the relationship between music and social behaviors or structures, has been the target of criticism, especially in the second half of the 20th century, being considered by many to be generalist, dogmatic or even elitist. This work proposes the analysis of musical technologies not only as a set of compositional techniques, as Adorno does, but, in fact, as material conditions for the realization of a certain type of sound/music. The colonialist character of these technologies is also analyzed. Based on a review of some key concepts in Adornian theory, a dialogue is sought with more contemporary authors from the sociology of music.
