Kinderman Abstract This study reconstructs the early development o f modem psychological thought as a context for understanding Wagner’s artistic practices. It opens by considering the evolution of psychological thought in German-speaking regions in the late eighteenth century and the growing recognition of unconscious psychological states. By the time that Wagner’s career as an opera composer was underway, aesthetic theory and practices had changed to reflect implications of the model of the mind that absorbed early scientific and medical accounts of the unconscious. The application of these psychological ideas in Wagner’s works is the focus of the analytical sections of the present work. Der fliegende Hollander (1841) is the first opera in which Wagner systematically coordinated issues of musical-dramatic structure with psychological principles; this process merits detailed analysis. In Der fliegende Hollander, and all of his subsequent works, Wagner distinguished between phenomenal and noumenal music. Beginning with Tannhduser, he experimented with the invisible fringes of the stage as performance space that could allude to the noumenal world. After surveying the evolution of Wagner’s use of “unseen voices,” examples from Parsifal are assessed. Close examination of its second scene gives attention to this practice as well as to a vivid somnambulistic episode. The scene as a whole is shown to be a sophisticated manipulation of the Kantian notions of time and space Ill that yields a tonal plan or framework coordinated with a differentiated conception of consciousness. The final two chapters are devoted to the musical and psychological representation of two of Wagner’s most important pairs of characters; Siegfned and Brünnhilde, and Tristan and Isolde. Analyses of Siegfried, Act I, and Gotterdammerung, Act III, as well as Tristan und Isolde illustrate how Wagner’s large-scale tonal planning and associative tonalities are employed in the service of evolving psychological processes. Schopenhauer’s theory of allegorical dream states is shown to be particularly relevant to a re-evaluation of the Wagnerian practice of the “double-tonic complex’’ much discussed in recent scholarship.

    Synopsis Prologue Mythical times. At night in the mountains, the three Norns, daughters of Erda, weave the rope of destiny. They tell how Wotan ordered the World Ash Tree, from which his spear was once cut, to be felled and its wood piled around Valhalla. The burning of the pyre will mark the end of the old order. Suddenly, the rope breaks. Their wisdom ended, the Norns descend into the earth. Dawn breaks on the Valkyries’ rock, and Siegfried and Brünnhilde emerge. Having cast protective spells on Siegfried, Brünnhilde sends him into the world to do heroic deeds. As a pledge of his love, Siegfried gives her the ring that he took from the dragon Fafner, and she offers her horse, Grane, in return. Siegfried sets off on his travels. Act I In the hall of the Gibichungs on the banks of the Rhine, Hagen advises his half- siblings, Gunther and Gutrune, to strengthen their rule through marriage. He suggests Brünnhilde as Gunther’s bride and Siegfried as Gutrune’s husband. Since only the strongest hero can pass through the fire on Brünnhilde’s rock, Hagen proposes a plan: A potion will make Siegfried forget Brünnhilde and fall in love with Gutrune. To win her, he will claim Brünnhilde for Gunther. When Siegfried’s horn is heard from the river, Hagen calls him ashore. Gutrune offers him the potion. Siegfried drinks and immediately confesses his love for her.Ð When Gunther describes the perils of winning his chosen bride, Siegfried offers to use the Tarnhelm to transform himself into Gunther.

    Time and the Unconscious Mind: A Brief Commentary Julia Mossbridge, M.A., Ph.D. Visiting Scholar, Department of Psychology, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL 60208 Founder and Research Director, Mossbridge Institute, LLC, Evanston, IL 60202 Please send correspondence to Julia Mossbridge: [email protected] Most of us think we know some basic facts about how time works. The facts we believe we know are based on a few intuitions about time, which are, in turn, based on our conscious waking experiences. As far as I can tell, these intuitions about time are something like this: 1) There is a physical world in which events occur, 2) These events are mirrored by our perceptual re-creation of them in essentially the same order in which they occur in the physical world, 3) This re-creation of events occurs in a linear order based on our conscious memory of them (e.g., event A is said to occur before event B if at some point we do remember event A but we don’t yet remember event B, and at another point we remember both events), 4) Assuming we have good memories, what we remember has occurred in the past and what we don’t remember but we can imagine might: a) never occur, b) occur when we are not conscious, or c) occur in the future. These intuitions are excellent ones for understanding our conscious conception of ordered events. However, they do not tell us anything about how the non-conscious processes in our brains navigate events in time. Currently, neuroscientists assume that neural processes of which we are unaware, that is, non-conscious processes, create conscious awareness as a reflection of physical reality (Singer, 2015).

    WAGNER AND THE VOLSUNGS None of Wagner’s works is more closely linked with Old Norse, and more especially Old Icelandic, culture. It would be carrying coals to Newcastle if I tried to go further into the significance of the incom- parable eddic poems. I will just mention that on my first visit to Iceland I was allowed to gaze on the actual manuscript, even to leaf through it . It is worth noting that Richard Wagner possessed in his library the same Icelandic–German dictionary that is still used today. His copy bears clear signs of use. This also bears witness to his search for the meaning and essence of the genuinely mythical, its very foundation.

As composers write more and more for a chamber ensemble like the musicians I have worked with to carry out this performance, it becomes more and more idiomatic for conductors like myself to explore their other compositions for orchestra, both small and large.

    Individuation As Spiritual Process: Jung’S Archetypal Psychology and the Development of Teachers

    Individuation as Spiritual Process: Jung’s Archetypal Psychology and the Development of Teachers Kathleen Kesson See the published version in the journal: ENCOUNTER: EDUCATION FOR MEANING AND SOCIAL JUSTICE Winter 2003, 16 (4). “…The spirit has its homeland, which is the realm of the meaning of things… -Saint Exupéry The Wisdom of the Sands In the mid-1970s, curriculum theorist James Macdonald, in his discussion of various ideologies of education, proposed a category that he called the “transcendental developmental ideology.” This perspective would correct what he thought was the limiting, materialist focus of the radical or political view of education, which he considered a “hierarchical historical view that has outlived its usefulness both in terms of the emerging structure of the environment and of the psyches of people today” (Macdonald 1995, 73). The transcendental developmental ideology would embrace progressive and radical social values, according to Macdonald, but would be rooted in a deep spiritual awareness. Drawing upon the work of M.C. Richards (1989), he used the term “centering” to signify this form of consciousness. Macdonald termed his methodology of development a “dual dialectic,” a praxis involving reflective transaction between the individual ego and the inward subjective depths of the self, as well as between the ego and the outer objective structures of the environment. This method grew out of his critique of existing developmental theories (see Kohlberg and Mayer, 1972), which he thought neglected one or another aspect of this praxis, thus failing to take into account the full dimension of human “being.” Macdonald was influenced by the work of C.G.
