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”).

  • 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.

Music Psychotherapy with Refugee Survivors of Torture. Interpretations of Three Clinical Case Studies. Sibelius Academy, Studia Musica 44. Music Education Department. Doctoral dissertation, 245 pages. The clinical data for this research were derived from three music psychotherapy cases of torture victims who in 2002 to 2004 lived as either asylum seekers or refugees in Finland. The patients were all traumatized men, originating from Central Africa, South Asia, and the Middle East, who received music therapy sessions as part of their rehabilitation. Music therapy was offered weekly or bi-monthly for the duration of one to two years. Music listening techniques, such as projective listening, guided imagery, and free association were applied in a psychoanalytic frame of reference. Data included 116 automatically audio recorded and transcribed therapy sessions, totalling over 100 hours of real time data that were both qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by the researcher. While previous studies have examined refugees and other trauma sufferers, and some articles have even discussed music therapy among torture survivors, this is one of the first empirical research studies of music therapy specifically among patients who are survivors of torture.

(España). ISSN: 0211-0040239 Apenas unas notas. La amusia de Freud y la sordera musical del círculo psicoanalítico de Viena Iván Sánchez Moreno* Universidad Autónoma de Madrid Norma Ramos Díaz Universitat de Barcelona Resumen Si la Viena de fi nales del siglo XIX fue una solfatara artística, más lo fue en el terreno musical. La música vivió los (des)encuentros entre el legado romántico-idealista y el nuevo dodecafonismo-racionalista, impregnando la cotidianidad de la burguesía austríaca. Freud no fue ajeno a la estética del momento, sin embargo... ...sin embargo, a lo largo de su obra apenas dedica unas notas a la música: unos escasos casos clínicos, un puñado de metáforas y algún comentario disperso sobre preferencias musicales y analogías operísticas. Además, sus referencias tratan el tema desde enfoques descriptivistas y no formales. Como apuntó, pa- rafraseando a Leonardo da Vinci, «no se puede amar ni odiar nada si antes no se ha llegado a su conoci- miento». La música, pues, como arte del presente y del aquí-y-ahora, escaparía del alcance metodológico del psicoanálisis aplicado. El texto analiza la relación entre psicoanálisis y música, revisando la obra de Freud y la de algunos de sus discípulos de la Sociedad Psicoanalítica de Viena. Asimismo, explora las posibles causas que llevarían a Freud a desterrar la música al silencio, y analiza por qué ese desinterés se heredó entre sus seguidores hasta bien entrado el siglo X.

  • 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.

  • Lacanian Psychoanalysis and Music Videos
    The Paranoia of Popular Culture: Lacanian Psychoanalysis and Music Videos JACOB W. GLAZIER The coyote is the most aware creature there is […] because he is completely paranoid. Charles Manson, circa 1969 (as cited in Hansen 413) While not directly related to this essay, the coyote, in the above quotation, represents a powerful figure, indeed one that is not just literary, which can be used to demonstrate what it means to know in a “post-truth” culture. In fact, the relationship the coyote has to knowledge may offer us, upfront, an almost complete map of the relationship between paranoia and knowledge. With specific regard to what follows, as I hope to show, the epistemological logic of the conspiracy theory discourse comes as close as one can get to the paranoid nature of knowledge itself. This final point, what is the nature of knowledge, is relative to one’s own biases, philosophies, or personal stakes. Yet is not this very questioning the source of all epistemic claims? In agreement here is Jacques Lacan, who is arguably the most famous psychoanalyst in history. Lacan perfected the Freudian practice of treatment over the long course of his seminars, referred to in French as the Séminaire, which he delivered from the years 1953 to 1980, right before his death. Perhaps, however, it was his first seminal scholarly work, a doctoral dissertation on the case of Aimée in 1932, that laid the foundation for what has come to be known in literary, academic, and even popular culture circles as Lacanian theory. In its properly conceptual treatment, paranoia is considered by psychoanalysis and Lacan himself to be a diagnosis, a category or label, that the analyst assigns to a patient to conceptualize and treat them.

  • Musical Harmony After Lacan's Panthéon Period
    PERSEVERE ∵ Musical harmony after Lacan’s Panthéon period Reilly Smethurst Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Music (Honours), Master of Music Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 17 December 2016 SYNOPSIS Composition, music-mathematical theory and the surnames of major European figures are not often deemed important in the so-called post-historical, post-modern or post-patriarchal era. In spite of this, I persevere with two things: a slow-paced, philological study of the doctrine of Jacques Lacan and the composition of non-octave music. As a young man, Lacan received a Catholic education that was hostile to Enlightenment philosophies. As an elderly man, Lacan declared himself an anti-philosopher and a non-progressive. He never let go of the Trinity or philological notions of the Letter qua mystery material or severe threat to common understanding. Unlike the tragedian Sigmund Freud, Lacan considered his work comic-pathetic, hence the incessant parade of insults and mockery. This is frequently overlooked by Anglophone academics. To correct this, I place an emphasis on the comic-pathetic Father figures that Lacan composed at the Panthéon from 1972 to 1980. Of secondary interest are Lacan’s four discourse- schemas from 1969 and his schema of capitalism from 1972. Figures and discourses are not the same. Lacan’s Father figures – his notorious knots and links – pilfered material from mathematics, but their form was poetic-sophistic. I treat Lacan’s Father figures as variants of Greek Muses, akin to musical compositions. Lacan’s discourse-schemas, by contrast, are gifts for musicology.

  • Meaning, Dreaming, Relating and Levels of Consciousness in Music Psychotherapy: a Psychoanalytic, Developmental and Transpersonal Paradigm1
    Peer-Reviewed Paper JMM: The Journal of Music and Meaning, vol. 11, 2012/2013 Meaning, Dreaming, Relating and Levels of Consciousness in Music Psychotherapy: a Psychoanalytic, Developmental and Transpersonal Paradigm1 Martin Lawes, trained music therapist in the UK, now doing freelance work Abstract In this article the author explores the creation, experience and meaning of music from a number of different perspectives. Although his principal aim is to contribute to the development of theory and practice in music psychotherapy, the author proposes that the thinking he presents also potentially has a wider application beyond the therapeutic sphere. That is in developing our understanding of how music is experienced to be meaningful because of the way it functions psychologically. The author presents a framework of levels of consciousness, suggesting that music can be understood to be therapeutically meaningful in many different ways at each level of consciousness whilst ultimately it is transcendent of meaning all together. In his exploration of this, the author draws especially on contemporary psychoanalytic perspectives that can be used to understand the role of dream level processes in making everyday experience manageable as well as meaningful at an emotional level. This is dreaming understood to be an unconscious activity of the mind occurring day and night, dream level processes being involved in both creating and experiencing music. It is as a result of these that music can potentially generate experiences of Truth that are not only meaningful at a personal level but psychologically resonant ultimately at a transpersonal level of consciousness beyond knowing. Such experiential Truth from a contemporary psychoanalytic perspective provides the psyche’s most essential type of nurturance.

  • Music in the Psychoanalytic Ear: Thinking, Listening and Playing
    Research Day at the Institute of Musical Research Music in the Psychoanalytic Ear: Thinking, Listening and Playing The Court Room Senate House Library, London (WC1E 7HU) Saturday 19th May 2018 This study day is generously supported by the Institute for Musical Research in association with the School of Advanced Studies, the ResearchWorks Programme at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, and the Department of Psychology at the University of Roehampton. Music in the Psychoanalytic Ear: Thinking, Listening and Playing A number of scholars in music studies have recently drawn on psychoanalytic ideas to make sense of musical experiences and meaning. At the same time, there are long-established links between music therapy and psychoanalysis; a large number of psychoanalysts, analytic psychotherapists and others working in this ‘talking’ tradition have themselves considered what music might mean in light of their clinical practice. However, despite influencing one another, these disciplines tend to operate independently, with practitioners of each rarely directly engaging those across the disciplinary divides. Musicologists, music therapists, and psychoanalysts have talked about music, but rarely do they speak to one another about music. This IMR research day addresses the need for interdisciplinary dialogue by asking: what can we learn about music when these disciplines begin to speak and listen to one another?
