description
The
sounds of music and the German language have played a significant role in the
developing symbolism of the German nation. In light of the historical division
of Germany into many disparate political entities and regional groups, German
artists and intellectuals of the 19 th and early 20 th
centuries ­conceived of musical and linguistic dispositions as the nation's
most palpable common ground. According to this view, the peculiar sounds of
German music and of the German language provided a direct conduit to national
identity, to the deepest recesses of the German soul. So strong is this legacy
of sound is still prevalent in modern German culture that philosopher Peter
Sloterdijk, in a recent essay, did not even hesitate to describe post-wall
Germany as an "acoustical body."
This
volume gathers the work of scholars from the US, Germany, and the United Kingdom
to explore the role of sound in modern and postmodern German cultural
production. Working across established disciplines and methodological divides,
the essays of Sound Matters investigate the ways in which texts, artists,
and performers in all kinds of media have utilized sonic materials in order to
enforce or complicate dominant notions of German cultural and national identity.
