Music and its Narrative Potential: About the Narrativity of Music and of Music as a Distinct Part of an Intermedial Art Work
Leiden :
Brill, 2023.
Editor-in-chief: B. Bouckaert, A. Peeters, C. Van Nerom
As an art form, music is not always considered to be narrative. Certainly not when compared to other, possibly more conducive media such as the novel, theatre plays, or graphic novels. Can music tell a story and, if yes, how should we discuss the narrativity of music? Should we speak in metaphors because music is not referential in the way that language is? Should we consider harmonic progress as a narrative, or is it melodic development that evokes a story? How does music relate to other media when it comes to expressing a narrative? Every section in this book provides answers to those questions.

In the narrow sense, musical stimulacra (sic) are passages of fiction that, through narrative form or content, prompt readers to experience music vicariously, in a variedly intense mode of mental simulation. Coined for my eponymous 2021 book in order to capture and foreground some cognitive dimensions of reading fiction—particularly the kind that invokes music in ...

empowered to transpose into mental simulations of music. The book theorizes how fi ction can generate musical experience, explains ...

Under the rubrics of literature and music, two artistic forms of expression are brought together that have traditionally been connected, albeit not always in harmonious unity. In the spirit of the paragone, the competition between different art forms, in a number of historical aesthetics and poetics there is rather a competitive relationship between text and ...

This article demonstrates that audionarratological concerns are not confined to overtly aural media. Matthew Herbert’s The Music: A Novel through Sound (2018) foregrounds everyday noises we habitually ignore along with cosmic silences impossible to hear and makes those audible by means of words. Declaring that the resulting product of his unrestrained auditory imagination is a ...

Incompletion is an essential condition of cultural history, and particularly the idea of the fragment became a central element of Romantic art. Through its resistance to classicist ideals it continued being of high relevance to the various strands of modernist and contemporary aesthetics. The fourteen essays in this volume, based on the 2017 Stockholm conference ...

Two mid-twentieth century Slavic aestheticians, both of whom applied the ‘polyphony’ metaphor to literature, inaugurated influential theories of incompletion. For Bakhtin (see 1963/1984), the polyphonic novel of Dostoevsky maintains an ongoing dialogue of characters’ discourses, which resists closure and can only be artificially aborted in the author’s ‘monologic’ finale. In Ingarden (see 1931/1973), the multi-layered ...

Seeing it as a test case for the experientiality of narrative, I reclaim the concept of diegetic music from film to literature studies. My concern is whether readers can gain musical experience from what Scher dubs “verbal music”—diegetic music’s textual exponent, which I re-theorize in terms of audionarratology. As a storyworld phenomenon, diegetic music is ...

The paper considers the impact of cinema on the satirical novel «The Apes of God» (1930) by English modernist painter and writer Wyndham Lewis as contextualized by its author’s predominantly negative reception of cinema in his fiction and criticism. Cinema is represented in the novel as an anti-intellectual and anti-aesthetic mass-produced cultural product, whose model ...

The article discusses Samuel Beckett’s short plays for television “Ghost Trio” (1976), “...but the clouds…” (1977), “Quad” (1984), and “Nacht und träume” (1984) as samples of tele-literature, where the presence and significance of words is related to the nonverbal components of the implied TV production. Plurimedial juxtapositions of music and text, the split between a ...

Drawing on research by, among others, Monika Fludernik, Marie-Laure Ryan, and previous publications by the author, the present article outlines the foundations of a transmedial narratology that draws on intermediality theory, frame theory, and prototype semantics. These foundations permit the simultaneous conceptualization of narrative as a semiotic macro-mode and as a cognitive frame which enables ...
