The tonal webern: a physiognomy of early modernism by Wedler, S

“…While acknowledging the rapid stylistic transformation that Webern’s tonal language underwent, shaped in particular by his studies with Arnold Schoenberg from 1904–1908, it will be suggested that ‘earliness’ in Webern is not simply a chronological term but is rather best understood in terms of a constitutive tension between phenomenological and dialectical modes of musical thought – a tension which had crystallised at the turn-of-the-century as essentially irreconcilable and yet formed the discursive matrix though which much of Webern’s aesthetic physiognomy was shaped. In this way, this dissertation is as much a study of the generative elements of Webern’s musical imagination as it is a study of the intellectual milieus of Viennese modernism.…”

Lamech’s Change of Mind: The Hellenistic Philosophy behind the Use of שנא in the Genesis Apocryphon and the Book of Daniel by Quick, L

“…<jats:p>This article seeks to establish that the ‘strong’ meaning of the verbal forms derived from שנא in the Genesis Apocryphon and the book of Daniel is of a dramatic, even violent, change; when used to denote a ‘change’ in mind or countenance, this refers to mental anguish, and so opens up a hitherto overlooked connection between this Jewish literature and the Hellenistic science of physiognomy. The semantic input of this Hellenistic context is important for a better understanding of the range of this Aramaic lexeme, and of the other lexeme employed to denote a ‘change’ by these two early Jewish texts, חלף. …”
