Lacoue-Labarthe, Philippe, 1940-2007. Musica ficta: figures of Wagner. Translated by Felicia McCarren. Stanford: Stanford University Press, 1994, xxiii, 161pp., PAPERBACK, very good. Series: Meridian (Stanford). - This is a pioneering attempt to rearticulate the relationship between music and the problem of mimesis, of presentation and re-presentation. Four "scenes" compose this book, all four of them responses to Wagner: two by French poets (Baudelaire and Mallarme), two by German philosophers (Heidegger and Adorno). It is difficult today to realize how profoundly Wagner affected the cultural and ideological sensibilities of the nineteenth century. Wagnerism rapidly spread throughout Europe, partly because of Wagner's propagandizing talent and the zeal of his adherents. But the main reason for his ascendance was the sudden appearance of what the century had desperately tried to produce since the beginnings of Romanticism - a work of art on the scale of great Greek and Christian art. Finally, here it was, the secret of what Hegel called the "religion of art" rediscovered. - CONTENTS: Baudelaire -- Mallarme -- Heidegger -- Adorno. 9780804723855 ISBN 0804723850.
