Seeing Mahler
No-one doubts that Gustav Mahler's tenure at the Vienna Court Opera from 1897-1907 was made extremely unpleasant by the antisemitic press. Unfortunately, the focus on blatant references to Jewishness has obscured the extent to which 'ordinary' attitudes a
Chamber Music
Chamber Music: A Research and Information Guide is a reference tool for anyone interested in chamber music. It is not a history or an encyclopedia but a guide to where to find answers to questions about chamber music. The third edition adds nearly 600 new entries to cover new research since publication of the previous edition in 2002. Most of the literature is books, articles in journals and magazines, dissertations and theses, and essays or chapters in Festschriften, treatises, and biographies. In addition to the core literature obscure citations are also included when they are the only studies in a particular field. In addition to being printed, this volume is also for the first time available online. The online environment allows for information to be updated as new research is introduced. This database of information is a "live" resource, fully searchable, and with active links. Users will have unlimited access, annual revisions will be made and a limited number of pages can be downloaded for printing.
The Nervous Stage

Jewish Difference and the Arts in Vienna
During the mid-19th century, the works of Arthur Schopenhauer and Richard Wagner sparked an impulse toward German cultural renewal and social change that drew on religious myth, metaphysics, and spiritualism. The only problem was that their works were deeply antisemitic and entangled with claims that Jews were incapable of creating compassionate art. By looking at the works of Jewish composers and writers who contributed to a lively and robust biblical theatre in fin de siècle Vienna, Caroline A. Kita shows how they reimagined myths of the Old Testament to offer new aesthetic and ethical views of compassion. These Jewish artists, including Gustav Mahler, Siegfried Lipiner, Richard Beer-Hofmann, Stefan Zweig, and Arnold Schoenberg, reimagined biblical stories through the lens of the modern Jewish subject to plead for justice and compassion toward the Jewish community. By tracing responses to antisemitic discourses of compassion, Kita reflects on the explicitly and increasingly troubled political and social dynamics at the end of the Habsburg Empire.
Musikalische Grenzgänge
English summary: In this book, Assaf Shelleg explores the history of Israeli art music and its ongoing discourse with modern Jewish art music. He introduces the reader to various aesthetic dilemmas involved in the emergence of this music, ranging from auto-exoticism through the hues of self-hatred to the disarticulation of Jewish musical markers. He then considers part of the music's translocation to Mandatory Palestine, studying its brisk discourse with Hebrew culture, and how composers grappled with modern and Zionist images of the self. Unlike previous efforts in the field, Shelleg unearths the mechanism of what he calls "Zionist musical onomatopoeias", but, more importantly, their diluti...
DirigentenBilder
Kommt dem Dirigieren performative Qualität zu? Handelt es sich um einen theatralen Akt, einen ‹Tanz am Pult›, der selber ästhetischen Wert besitzt und sich nicht auf die Funktion bloßer Zeichengebung für das Orchester reduzieren lässt? Geht es (auch) darum, die unsichtbaren Töne und Tonfolgen durch Gesten sichtbar zu machen, ihnen buchstäblich einen Körper zu leihen? Und in welchem Verhältnis stehen die Gesten wiederum zu jener ‹Interpretation›, die ihnen als hörbares Resultat entspringt? – Diese und andere Fragen bilden den Fokus des vorliegenden Bandes, der sich dem Phänomen des Dirigierens sowie der Figur des Dirigenten und der Dirigentin vom Mittelalter bis zur heuti...
Jahrbuch des Simon-Dubnow-Instituts / Simon Dubnow Institute Yearbook XI (2012)
To mark the centenary of Gustav Mahler's death, one thematic focus of the Yearbook deals with the life, work and legacy of this musician of Jewish extraction in the context of culture and social politics. Another thematic focus here is early research on the Holocaust, an area of inquiry whose image in recent years has fundamentally changed. These focal areas are expanded by papers dealing with questions of political history, legal history, cultural restitution and the critique of post-modern philosophy.The regular sections of the Yearbook feature articles on Günther Anders, Shmuel Yosef Agnon and Lea Goldberg, the language question in Simon Dubnow's thinking, and the participation of Jewish anarchists in the Munich Soviet Republic (Räterepublik) of 1919.
Health Humanities Reader
Over the past forty years, the health humanities, previously called the medical humanities, has emerged as one of the most exciting fields for interdisciplinary scholarship, advancing humanistic inquiry into bioethics, human rights, health care, and the uses of technology. It has also helped inspire medical practitioners to engage in deeper reflection about the human elements of their practice. In Health Humanities Reader, editors Therese Jones, Delese Wear, and Lester D. Friedman have assembled fifty-four leading scholars, educators, artists, and clinicians to survey the rich body of work that has already emerged from the field—and to imagine fresh approaches to the health humanities in t...
