商品描述

Few composers embodied wider cultural interests than Wagner or had greater cultural consequences. This is the first collection to examine directly the rich array of intellectual, social and cultural contexts within which Wagner worked. Alongside fresh accounts of historical topics, from spa culture to racial theory, sentient bodies to stage technology, America to Spain, it casts an eye forward to contexts of Wagner's ongoing reception, from video gaming to sound recording, Israel to Friedrich Kittler, and twenty-first century warfare. The collection brings together an international cast of leading authorities and new voices. Its 42 short chapters offer a reader-friendly way into Wagner studies, with authoritative studies of central topics set alongside emerging new fields. It sheds new light on previously neglected individuals such as Minna Wagner, Theodor Herzl and Houston Stewart Chamberlain, and investigates the global circulation of Wagner's works, his approach to money, and the controversies that continue to accompany him.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

沒有多少作曲家能像華格納一樣代表了更廣泛的文化興趣,也沒有多少作曲家的作品帶來了更大的文化影響。這是第一本直接探討華格納工作背後豐富的智識、社會和文化背景的著作集。除了對歷史話題的新解釋,從溫泉文化到種族理論,從感知身體到舞台技術,從美國到西班牙,它還展望了華格納持續受到關注的背景,從視頻遊戲到音頻錄製,從以色列到弗里德里希·基特勒,以及二十一世紀的戰爭。這本著作集匯集了國際頂尖專家和新聲音。它的42個短章節以讀者友好的方式進入華格納研究,將權威的研究與新興領域並置。它為以往被忽視的人物,如敏娜·華格納、泰奧多爾·赫茲爾和休斯頓·斯圖爾特·錢伯林,帶來了新的視角,並調查了華格納作品的全球流通、他對金錢的看法以及繼續伴隨著他的爭議。
