Abstract
ABSTRACT Arnold Schoenberg’s 1947 A Survivor from Warsaw relates a traumatic experience through the eyes of the titular narrator, frequently meditating on the theme of disrupted memory. This article draws on medical research and the pathology of PTSD as presented in Holocaust survivors. The simultaneous decline of conscious memory and increase in unconscious memory that emerges from medical research is represented in Schoenberg’s textual and compositional structure, particularly in the use of aggregate rows. It posits a new interpretation of the work as communicating both the events endured by survivors and its attendant effects on memory.
阿诺德·勋伯格(Arnold Schoenberg)的《1947年华沙幸存者》(1947 A Survivor from Warsaw)通过名义上的叙述者的眼睛讲述了一段创伤经历,经常思考记忆中断的主题。这篇文章借鉴了医学研究和创伤后应激障碍的病理,呈现在大屠杀幸存者。从医学研究中出现的有意识记忆的同时下降和无意识记忆的增加在勋伯格的文本和组成结构中得到了体现,特别是在使用汇总行时。它提出了一种新的解释,作为传达幸存者所经历的事件及其对记忆的影响。
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Musicological Research publishes original articles on all aspects of the discipline of music: historical musicology, style and repertory studies, music theory, ethnomusicology, music education, organology, and interdisciplinary studies. Because contemporary music scholarship addresses critical and analytical issues from a multiplicity of viewpoints, the Journal of Musicological Research seeks to present studies from all perspectives, using the full spectrum of methodologies. This variety makes the Journal a place where scholarly approaches can coexist, in all their harmony and occasional discord, and one that is not allied with any particular school or viewpoint.
