Beschreibungen/Notizen

• In German scholarship, Rauschen--a rustling or rushing positioned uncertainly between sound and noise--has played a small but significant role in these developments and in the re-reading of the sublime that they provoke. Echoing older narratives about ocularcentrism, however, some recent studies imply that music became a sublime art par excellence only with a waning of Enlightenment in the late eighteenth century, and only when music was aligned with Rauschen as an overwhelming wash of unencoded and undecodable sensations. Here, Stanyon focuses on the strong intertextual and cultural-linguistic connections.
