The commonplace that music is the language of the emotions is cemented as emotions become a cognitive entity. This chapter outlines the last vestiges of a musical emotionology still rooted in physiologial effects in theories propounded in the late eighteenth century before tracing music’s transfiguration into the metaphysical realm. The myriad aesthetic and scientific approaches to music’s powerful effects that characterise nineteenth-century engagement with music share one common objective: they herald a canonisation of particular musical repertoires by arguing for their powers independent of external, \"interested\" factors. Music as social practice is relegated to a lower status; context aesthetically compromises true art if emotion is foregrounded as music’s manipulative rather than universal power. Dance is thus separated from \"pure music\" and aestheticised separately as a theatrical more than a musical art.","PeriodicalId":124667,"journal":{"name":"A Cultural History of the Emotions in the Age of Romanticism, Revolution, and Empire","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127420874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their focus is on critical exploration, comprehension, and group discussion, with less sustained attention to analytic writing skills. Students can combine two 6-unit Samplings subjects to count as a HASS subject in the Humanities category and the equivalent of a subject in the Intermediate tier. See the HASS Requirement website (https://registrar.mit.edu/registrationacademics/academic-requirements/hass-requirement/substitutionswithin-hass-requirement) or contact Literature Headquarters for details. 3) Intermediate subjects (21L.430-21L.639[J]) explore literary and visual forms in greater depth and center on historical periods, literary themes, or genres; others focus on media studies, comparative cultural studies, or national literatures. 4) Seminars (21L.640[J]-21L.715) are more advanced and are oen communication intensive.
