Identity, Aesthetics, and Sound in the Fin de Siècle: Redesigning Perception (Routledge Studies in Cultural History; 22) by Dariusz Gafijczuk - 2014

Routledge, 2014. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. This study examines the "logic and the spirit" (the author's words) of the late 19th and early 20th centuries by finding areas of convergence between Freud and Schoenberg--looking much deeper than their shared Vienna context to the overlaps in their intellectual and creative explorations. Chapter titles indicate some of the themes, including the psychology of expectation, play of the senses, acoustic perspectives, the psychology of distances, and dreams and theories of harmony.
