Music and the Politics of Negation
Author: James R. Currie
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 0253005221
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Over the past quarter century, music studies in the academy have their postmodern credentials by insisting that our scholarly engagements start and end by placing music firmly within its various historical and social contexts. In Music and the Politics of Negation, James R. Currie sets out to disturb the validity of this now quite orthodox claim. Alternating dialectically between analytic and historical investigations into the late 18th century and the present, he poses a set of uncomfortable questions regarding the limits and complicities of the values that the academy keeps in circulation by means of its musical encounters. His overriding thesis is that the forces that have formed us are not our fate.

However, it is the violent struggle in the Rhineland when he was nineteen years old that has marked him, apparently for life. This "victory" remains his dark secret. He muses that it might be his guiding light.Paul and his younger brother lost their mother, when Paul was four years old.

Paul was conceived in the immediate aftermath of World War II in Germany, but born in the United States. Fifty-eight years later, he is a mathematician struggling to find life's formula. He is at a loss wherever he wanders, be it Germany, Yale College, or the Piedmont region of Virginia and North Carolina, where his paternal ancestors labored in bondage for two centuries. He eventually gives himself up to the possibility of redemption, when fate presents itself in the guise of a manifestly long-shot relationship.
