FREUD and the PROBLEM with MUSIC: a HISTORY of LISTENING at the MOMENT of PSYCHOANALYSIS a Dissertation Presented to the Faculty FREUD AND THE PROBLEM WITH MUSIC: A HISTORY OF LISTENING AT THE MOMENT OF PSYCHOANALYSIS A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Michelle R. Duncan May 2013 © 2013 Michelle R. Duncan FREUD AND THE PROBLEM OF MUSIC: A HISTORY OF LISTENING AT THE MOMENT OF PSYCHOANALYSIS Michelle R. Duncan, Ph. D. Cornell University 2013 An analysis of voice in performance and literary theory reveals a paradox: while voice is generally thought of as the vehicle through which one expresses individual subjectivity, in theoretical discourse it operates as a placeholder for superimposed content, a storage container for acquired material that can render the subjective voice silent and ineffectual. In grammatical terms, voice expresses the desire or anxiety of the third rather than first person, and as such can be constitutive of both identity and alterity. In historical discourse, music operates similarly, absorbing and expressing cultural excess. One historical instance of this paradox can be seen in the case of Sigmund Freud, whose infamous trouble with music has less to do with aesthetic properties of the musical art form than with cultural anxieties surrounding him, in which music becomes a trope for differences feared to potentially “haunt” the public sphere. As a cultural trope, music gets mixed up in a highly charged dialectic between theatricality and anti-theatricality that emerges at the Viennese fin- de-Siècle, a dialectic that continues to shape both German historiography and the construction of modernity in contemporary scholarship. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Michelle Duncan was born in Yankton, South Dakota. Both of her parents were teachers; from early on, a culture of learning informed her worldview. When she was three, her family relocated to Downers Grove, Illinois, while her father pursued advanced degrees at Loyola and Northwestern in Chicago. While there, she, her older brother, and her parents took advantage of cultural opportunities unavailable in South Dakota—plays, musicals, art exhibits, and Chicago Cubs games—and developed an appreciation for international gastronomy. During summer breaks, they often traveled throughout the United States, often with a tent and their Ford station wagon. When Michelle was nine, her family returned to South Dakota. Throughout her youth, Michelle loved books, music, and the performing arts, and she became an accomplished pianist. In middle and high school, she participated in numerous ensembles and theatre productions, earning distinction as a singer and actress. After graduating from Aberdeen Central High School, she studied voice performance at the University of Colorado, Boulder. She saw her first opera in Denver, a production of Turandot at Opera Colorado featuring Hungarian soprano Eva Marton, which made a profound and lasting impression. Deciding to see more of the world, she traveled to the Netherlands and Germany, where she lived for eight years—studying voice, seeing many concerts and operas, and developing a love of Germanic language, literature, and culture. After several years working in the classical music industry, she and her two iii young daughters moved to Oakland, California, where Michelle enrolled as an undergraduate in Mills College, studying voice, German, and Comparative Literature. Her senior thesis was a study of Beethoven’s opera, Fidelio. Michelle graduated with honors from Mills with a BA in German Literature, and earned the Marie Naumann-Etienne Prize for Excellence in German Studies. iv Dedicated to the memory of my mother, Belva Trask Duncan, 1940-1998 And to my daughters, Sara and Hannah, with enormous love and gratitude v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation could not have been written without the support, friendship, and guidance of many people. It is with enormous gratitude that I thank Michael Steinberg, Doktor Vater and mentor since my early days in graduate school, who kept faith in me and in my project even when my resolve faltered. Suzanne Stewart-Steinberg recognized that this was a dissertation topic before I did, and has also been a trusted mentor and confidante. Over the years, the Steinbergs have been a second family to me and to my children, sharing our laughs and tears, joys and sorrows—and unabashedly living and loving opera. A very special acknowledgement also to Patrizia McBride, special committee co-chair, who saw the project through to completion, along with committee members Anette Schwarz and Elke Siegel. For their willingness to take this on and their magnanimity toward all matters both intellectual and professional, I will be forever grateful. I am also grateful for the long-term support of the Department of German Studies at Cornell, including the Director of Graduate Studies, Peter Gilgen, and the always helpful Miriam Zubal. My thanks also to three former committee members: Biddy Martin, who opened my eyes to the wonders of psychoanalysis; David Bathrick, whose critical insight kept me on target in German Studies; and Rebecca Schneider, who emboldened me to ask difficult questions, and to embrace my intellectual instincts. Rebecca’s voice can be heard in much of this writing. Travel and research opportunities to undertake this probject were generously provided by the Einaudi Center for International Studies at Cornell, the vi Arnold Schoenberg Foundation in Vienna, the Zantop Travel Fund of the Women in German, and the Cornell Graduate School. I must also thank the Graduiertenkolleg Körper-Inszenierungen at the Institut für Theaterwissenschaft at the Freie Universität Berlin for an International Fellowship, and the DCR-Wander Artist Residency in the Hague.!!! ! Many of these ideas germinated during discussions among the Cornell opera group, where I met Emanuele Senici and Alessandra Campana, who I continue to trust as though they were my older siblings. Thanks to the always lyrical Joseph Campana; to Mary Ann Smart, who edited chapter one and helped me to keep the academic endeavor in perspective; to David Levin and the anonymous readers of the Opera Quarterly, who offered helpful comments on chapter two; and to my friend and colleague Adam Sacks. I am also indebted to the Richards-Yearsley family, and other Berlin friends who helped sustain us through exciting and challenging times, especially Markus Boeggemann and amazing cake-baker, Rosalind (Hammer) Meisterman. To my children, Sara and Hannah Kellermann; to Troy van der Plas and his family in the Hague; to my partner, Michael Gibson, and his parents, Marva and Walter Luttrell and Dr. Harris Gibson; to my late mother, Belva Duncan (d. 1998) and late grandmother, Gertrude Trask (d. 2011); and the rest of my professors, friends, and family members who have had a hand in this endeavor, however large or small. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and encouragement. I could not have done this without you.

The cost of “discontinuity” (that pattern still imposed on women) is such a weight of things unsaid, an accumulation of material so great, that everything starts up something else in me; what should take weeks takes me sometimes months to write; what should take months, takes years. --Tilly Olson Silences ix INTRODUCTION As the person who developed the art of the talking cure, Sigmund Freud provides us every reason to consider him one of the most adept listeners in modern history. At the same time, the art and science of listening that Freud pioneered is surrounded by problematic and unexplored boundaries. One key area, often mentioned but never explored in depth, concerns Freud’s assertion that he is unable to enjoy and to understand music. In light of this assertion, it is curious that he sought the contribution and expertise of key musical figures during the early, formative years of psychoanalysis. Given the importance of musical culture during fin-de-Siècle Vienna, Freud knew that by including Max Graf and David Josef Bach as two of the first members of the Psychoanalytic Wednesday Society, he was engaging with core participants in this saturated moment of cultural conflict and modernism. Did he assemble these musical personalities in his early circle to task them to listen for him, and thus to help him understand the potential role of music in both his psychological and metapsychological arguments? Since Freud forever changed the way that we listen, what do we hear when we listen for Freud--in psychoanalysis, in music, and in the historical as well as the theoretical dimensions of their interrelation? In this study, I analyze

Even though its pitch structure may appear rather straight- forward with its octatonic scale and the primary tonal center in C, and with referential (quasi-tonic) chords derived from the harmonic series, I intend to highlight intricate narrative trajectories and dramatic conflicts between various tonal centers (treated as actors/characters). These narratives can be related to certain archetypal plots, with the *1 Author contact information: [email protected] 131 New Sound 54, II/2019 conclusion that there exists ambiguity between the tragic and the ironic archetype. On a higher plane, similar conflict/interplay/ambiguity exists between different principles of pitch organization, i.e. the octatonic and functionally tonal. The unresolved ambi- guities and simultaneity of conflicting interpretations are examined from the psycho- analytic perspective, which postulates isomorphism between musical structures and processes and the processes unfolding in the unconscious mind. Finally, the effect of these narratives, especially the overwhelming impact induced by the excerpt from Mozart’s piano concerto is linked with the idea of sublime as conceived by Kant, but also including other approaches (Burke, Lyotard etc.).

  • Music to Be Used in Treating Mental Retardation and Mental Illness 1
    Running Head: MUSIC TO BE USED IN TREATING MENTAL RETARDATION AND MENTAL ILLNESS 1 Music to Be Used in Treating Mental Retardation and Mental Illness Jordan Mitchell Helena College Introduction to Psychology 100 Professor Curtis Peterson MUSIC TO BE USED IN TREATING MENTAL RETARDATION AND MENTAL ILLNESS 2 Mental retardation and mental illness have been forces for study for centuries. Doctors and psychologists alike have studied these things extensively. A plethora of studies, theories, hypotheses, treatments, and advances in the fields of medicine and psychology have been made and examined because of them. From doctors to scholars, mental retardation and illness have led to a myriad of possible treatment solutions formulated around them. I, like the many scholars and experts, seek to find a solution to these abnormalities. This paper will examine the meanings, causes, facets, and effects of mental retardation and illness on both medicine and psychology; it will also examine the effect of music, as well as the effects it has on the human brain. These examinations will subsequently be used to propose plausible treatments. Medicine and Mental Abnormality Webster’s New World Medical Dictionary defines “mental retardation” as: “The condition of having an IQ measured as below 70 to 75 and significant delays or lacks in at least two areas of adaptive skills” (Shiel and Stöppler). While this offers an informative, basic definition, it still only scratches the surface of what the conditions entail. These abnormalities range from simple, easy-to-handle conditions such as some forms of Asperger syndrome, a type of autism in which strange levels of focus and attention are observed, as well as inappropriate social communication (“Asperger Syndrome”).

  • Ritual Remembrance: Freud's Primal Theory of Collective Memory
    Ritual Remembrance: Freud’s Primal Theory of Collective Memory Taylor Schey In the fnal essay of Totem and Taboo, Freud infamously claims that civilization began wHen a band of brotHers brutally murdered tHeir fatHer. THis postulation leads Freud to conclude tHat “tHe beginnings of religion, morals, society and art converge in the Oedipus complex,”1 and, accordingly, most readers, regardless of their argument, presuppose that the text depicts a “fundamental oedipal revolt.”2 This is how Peter Gay characterizes the action of Totem and Taboo in his short introduction to the Norton Standard Edition, and this is how the text is generally re- membered. While we may forget the moves of Freud’s argument and the details of his historical narrative—not to mention the frst three essays of the book—we do remember that, according to Freud, in the beginning was the Oedipus complex. It is not surprising, tHen, tHat many readers Have felt Freud went too far with Totem and Taboo. Its publication incited anthropologists to attack the universality of the Oedipus complex;3 others have turned the tables on Freud and charged him with projecting his own oedipal guilt onto an imagined horde of parricidal sons;4 and most in the feld of psychoanaly- sis have come to disregard Totem and Taboo, in part because it threatens the validity of the Oedipus complex. As E. B. Spillius explains: “today the idea of the Oedipus complex no longer needs to be defended against rival schools of psychoanalysis, and the use of the Oedipus complex to explain the origin of civilization would do it more harm than good” (187).

  • Beyond Music and Beyond Words: a Psychoanalytic Inquiry
    STUDIJE O MUZIČKOJ UMETNOSTI/STUDIES ON MUSIC Miloš Zatkalik UDC 78.01 Univerzitet umetnosti u Beogradu doi:10.5937/ZbAkUm1801089Z Fakultet muzičke umetnosti Original scientific paper Aleksandar Kontić Visoka škola likovnih i primenjenih umetnosti u Beogradu. Beyond music and beyond words: A psychoanalytic inquiry Abstract. Relationships between language and music have always been lively and dynamic, from their syncretic unity in rituals, to setting text to music, verbal accounts of musical works, musicalization of literature, to abundance of linguistic and literary metaphors in discourse about music. Both language and music unfold in time; both possess a hierarchy of elements that are combined according to a set of rules. This paper will first indicate some linguistic (primarily syntactic) concepts that inform music theory. An analogy can also be established between the Chomskyan concept of the deep structure of language and Schenkerian Ursatz. Music, however, is not always organized along the lines of syntactic hierarchy. Music is also capable of simultaneity in a way inaccessible to language. In order to negotiate this ambiguous relationship between music and language, we invoke the psychoanalytic model of the mind. It postulates that the archaic experience of the world is associated with the auditory sphere. This auditory, pre-verbal mode of conceiving the world will gradually yield to subsequent developmental phases: the visual, and then verbal communication. The deep structure of music is necessarily analogous to verbal structures. However, owing to its pre-verbal origin, music is also organized according to the more archaic modes of mental functioning. For instance: the precepts of logic do not apply; music allows condensation much more readily than language.

    Operetta after the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Elaine Tennant Spring 2013 © 2013 Ulrike Petersen All Rights Reserved Abstract Operetta after the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair This thesis discusses the political, social, and cultural impact of operetta in Vienna after the collapse of the Habsburg Empire. As an alternative to the prevailing literature, which has approached this form of musical theater mostly through broad surveys and detailed studies of a handful of well‐known masterpieces, my dissertation presents a montage of loosely connected, previously unconsidered case studies. Each chapter examines one or two highly significant, but radically unfamiliar, moments in the history of operetta during Austria’s five successive political eras in the first half of the twentieth century. Exploring operetta’s importance for the image of Vienna, these vignettes aim to supply new glimpses not only of a seemingly obsolete art form but also of the urban and cultural life of which it was a part. My stories evolve around the following works: Der Millionenonkel (1913), Austria’s first feature‐length motion picture, a collage of the most successful stage roles of a celebrated
