Performing Pain: Music and Trauma in Eastern Europe


Overview

ENGPerforming Pain explores music’s relationships to trauma and grief by focusing upon the late 20 th century in Eastern Europe. The 1970s and 80s witnessed a cultural preoccupation with WWII and the Stalinist era. Journalists, historians, writers, artists, and filmmakers explored themes related to pain and memory, truth and history, morality and spirituality during glasnost and the years prior. Performing Pain considers how music by composers Alfred Schnittke, Galina Ustvolskaya, Arvo Pärt, and Henryk Górecki musically engage contemporary concerns regarding suffering through composition, performance, and reception. Drawing upon theories from psychology, sociology, and literary studies, this book demonstrates the ways in which people turn to music to make sense of trauma and loss. RUS В своей книге Мария Чизмич исследует отражение травмы в музыкальном искусстве Восточной Европы конца ХХ века. В 1970-80-е годы вопрос коллективной травмы, особенно связанной со Второй мировой войной и сталинской эпохой, стал темой для публичного обсуждения. Журналисты, историки, писатели, художники и кинематографисты неоднократно обращались к сюжетам боли и памяти, правды и истории, морали и духовности как во времена гласности, так и в предшествующие годы. Мария Чизмич рассматривает, как эти проблемы затрагивались в произведениях композиторов Альфреда Шнитке, Галины Уствольской, Арво Пярта и Хенрика Гурецкого. Опираясь на данные психологии и социологии, используя методы литературоведения и культурологии, автор показывает, как средствами музыки происходило осмысление исторических травмы и потери.
