  • A Russian Eschatology: Theological Reflections on the Music of Dmitri Shostakovich
    A Russian Eschatology: Theological Reflections on the Music of Dmitri Shostakovich Submitted by Anna Megan Davis to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology in December 2011 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. 2 3 Abstract Theological reflection on music commonly adopts a metaphysical approach, according to which the proportions of musical harmony are interpreted as ontologies of divine order, mirrored in the created world. Attempts to engage theologically with music’s expressivity have been largely rejected on the grounds of a distrust of sensuality, accusations that they endorse a ‘religion of aestheticism’ and concern that they prioritise human emotion at the expense of the divine. This thesis, however, argues that understanding music as expressive is both essential to a proper appreciation of the art form and of value to the theological task, and aims to defend and substantiate this claim in relation to the music of twentieth-century Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich. Analysing a selection of his works with reference to culture, iconography, interiority and comedy, it seeks both to address the theological criticisms of musical expressivism and to carve out a positive theological engagement with the subject, arguing that the distinctive contribution of Shostakovich’s music to theological endeavour lies in relation to a theology of hope, articulated through the possibilities of the creative act.

Junio 2021 pp. 213-238 SURANDINO Revista de Humanidad y Cultura El poder de la música, por encima de las bombas y la pandemia The power of music, above the bombs and the pandemic Manuel Arce Sotelo * Resumen: Este artículo es una reflexión sobre la influencia que la música puede ejercer sobre el ser humano en situaciones extremas, como las guerras o las pandemias. El caso del sitio de Leningrado durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y el simbólico estreno de la Séptima Sinfonía de Chostakovich en esta ciudad condenada a la inanición y la muerte por el ejército nazi, es un claro ejemplo de como la música puede cambiar no solamente al hombre, pero también, influenciar en el desarrollo de la historia. En esta misma perspectiva, la tregua de Navidad de 1914 en el frente occidental durante la Primera Guerra Mundial que se inició con intercambios de villancicos entre las trincheras enemigas, nos evoca una situación similar realizada entre vecinos al comienzo de la pandemia de COVID-19 el 2020.

The order was established on 16 September 1918, during the Russian Civil War by decree of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee. It was the highest award of Soviet Russia, subsequently the Soviet Union, until the Order of Lenin was established in 1930. Recipients were recognised for extraordinary heroism, dedication, and courage demonstrated on the battlefield. The order was awarded to individuals as well as to military units, cities, ships, political and social organizations, and state enterprises. In later years it was also awarded on the twentieth and again on the thirtieth anniversary of military service without requiring participation in combat.

For three years the front lines moved backwards and forwards over the country’s vast territory—from the Baltic Sea to the Pacific Ocean, from the White Sea to the Black Sea and from the Arctic tundra and Siberian taiga forests to the mountain countries and desert lands of Central Asia. The war left the country in ruins, destroyed its productive forces and brought immeasurable human losses. Many years have since passed but interest in these dramatic events is as great as ever.

  • Michael Jones, Leningrad: State of Siege. New York: Basic Books, 2008
    Book Reviews Daniel da Silva Costa Marcos’s Salazer e de Gaulle would have revealed that France’s cooperation with reactionary African actors, notably Portugal and South Africa, con- strained and countered some of Kennedy’s more ambitious efforts. De Gaulle’s refusal to join Washington in isolating Portugal began a reluctant U.S. acceptance of Luso- phone colonialism that would see Kennedy backtrack in subsequent UN votes and limit contact with stateless nationalists in ways reminiscent of Eisenhower. The lack of such context illustrates the book’s sometimes problematic emphasis on top-down poli- tics in Washington, and it calls into question how case studies were selected. The book marginalizes not just the litmus test of Portuguese Africa but Nigeria, the populous darling of Michael Latham’s and Larry Grubb’s modernization theories that has yet to receive the attention it deserves. Such omissions minimize the ways that changing inter-African realities explain the waxing and waning of U.S. bilateral relationships as much as any affection for Kennedy or lack thereof. Betting on the Africans is a valuable contribution to Kennedy-era foreign policy on the continent even if it is not the definitive word. The book highlights several areas that deserve further research. Most importantly, Muehlenbeck provides a detailed and readable exploration of the way Kennedy crafted an image of U.S. engagement with the continent alongside which all future administrations would be judged. ✣✣✣ Michael Jones, Leningrad: State of Siege. New York: Basic Books, 2008. 322 pp. $27.95. Reviewed by Jonathan House, U.S. Army Command and General Staff College The Soviet-German conflict was an incredibly brutal struggle, but few aspects of that struggle were more horrific than the siege of Leningrad from September 1941 to January 1944.
