Onde sappiamo non esser etade,o studio, che sia separato dal canto.In an essay onLa magia d'amore, Guido Casoni (d. 1642) demonstrated how music, along with other arts and sciences, is generated by love. On the surface, the essay strikes one as a hodgepodge of fact and fantasy in which the credibility of the data is vitiated by their often whimsical interpretation. But there is more to music than historically or logically verifiable acts or events. Casoni's musical hermeneutics reflects conceptual tendencies inherent in his own times, yet derivative from a long tradition of commentary on musicalmirabilia. The present study is an attempt to contextualize these tendencies. It follows through the equation of love with music as a parable, of a plainly Neoplatonist stamp, for the relevance of music to all forms of scholarly discourse.

The vanity of arts and sciences.

Do So

In this article I analyze how Americans draw upon the authority of both ancient, so-called “hidden” texts and the authority of scholarly discourse, even overtly fictional scholarly discourse, in their imaginings of the “re-discovered” figure of Mary Magdalene. Reading recent treatments of Mary Magdalene provides me with an entrance onto three topics: how Americans see and use the past, how Americans understand knowledge itself, and how Americans construct “religion” and “spirituality.” I do so through close studies of contemporary websites of communities that focus on Mary Magdalene, as well as examinations of relevant books, historical novels, reader reviews, and comic books. Focusing on Mary Magdalene alongside tropes of wisdom also uncovers the gendered dynamics at play in constructions of antiquity, knowledge, and religious accessibility.

Musical Hermeneutics

Die musikalische Hermeneutik ist ein umstrittenes Unternehmen, das heute vor allem für eine historisch-kulturwissenschaftliche Analyse musikalischer Bedeutungen steht. Daneben besteht aber eine wilde Alltagshermeneutik, in der das Verstehen mit dem alltäglichen Umgang mit Musik verwoben ist. Meg Stuarts Tanzstück Built to last wird gelesen als Reflexion auf diese Alltagshermeneutik. Es wendet Stuarts Technik der Erforschung und Verfremdung von Ausdrucksbewegung auf die Bewegung der und zur Musik an, und sein dezidiert »falscher« Umgang mit der klassischen Musik lässt mehr über deren Gegenwart erkennen als ein formalerer, »richtiger« Ansatz. <br><br>Musical hermeneutics is a controversial issue. Today it is primarily associated with historical research into musical meanings in the context of cultural studies. Besides this, there is an everyday hermeneutics where understanding is inextricably linked to the daily use of music. Meg Stuart’s dance piece Built to last is interpreted as a reflection of this everyday hermeneutics. It applies Stuart’s technique of researching and distorting expressive movement to the movement of and to music, and its decidedly “wrong” way of doing this reveals more about classical music’s presence than a more formal, “right” approach.
