'Stimmung' ('Attunement') between medicine and music aesthetics (ca. 1740-1850)

该项目涉及德语术语Stimmung(调谐)在18世纪下半叶和19世纪上半叶的概念史。在这几十年里，Stimmung的含义从调音乐器的音乐实践转变为神经生理调谐的概念(Nervenstimmung)，并最终转化为语气感的隐喻用法(Gemütsstimmung)。该项目旨在从历史上巩固并在概念上强化今天对Stimmung一词的情感氛围和隐喻用法。在过去的十年里，斯廷蒙一直是哲学、文学研究和艺术史研究的焦点。然而，在音乐学领域，对Stimmung概念的学术审查一直非常迟缓。这更令人惊讶，因为今天的Stimmung在语义和历史上都与乐器调音的音乐现象如此紧密地联系在一起。从这个意义上说，这个项目的目的是将史汀蒙的概念历史追溯到1740年左右，并展示音乐在这段历史中的重要性。因此，潜在的假设假设，Stimmung的今天的含义-包括粘液实践和主观情绪状态，主体间的，社会团结，以及审美和大气体验-基本上是基于18世纪下半叶生理学和音乐美学之间的知识转移和转换，以及这些跨学科论述关注的神经生理协调(Nervenstimmung)的概念。该项目使用从1740年到1850年之间精心挑选的数十年的医学和美学来源，旨在追溯不断进步的18世纪的Stimmung的不同概念及其在19世纪初的转变。它的目的是展示医学和美学这两个学科如何在相互的话语中转变，从而创造出新的Stimmung意义。德语来源将与英语来源并列，以调查这些转换是如何依赖于特定语言的。该项目的目的是(1)为音乐学的情感氛围刺激这一概念发展一种具有历史基础的方法，并从方法和概念上支持未来关于音乐与刺激之间的密切联系以及共鸣和氛围等相关概念的研究；以及(2)强调音乐学在刺激研究的跨学科研究中的作用，提高相互合作的能力，从而推动话语的发展。该项目计划在伦森大学文化与科学研究系的SNF研究项目Stimmung und Polyhonie：Musikalische Paradigman in文学库的范围内进行。

The project deals with the conceptual history of the German term Stimmung (attunement) within the course of the second half of the 18th century and the first half of the 19th century. During these decades the meaning of Stimmung transformed from the musical practice of tuning musical instruments into the idea of a neurophysiological attunement of the nerves (Nervenstimmung) and eventually into the metaphorical use in the sense of mood (Gemütsstimmung). The project aims to historically consolidate and to conceptually sharpen today’s emotional-atmospheric and metaphorical use of the term Stimmung. In the last decade, Stimmung has been within the research focus of philosophy, literary studies and art history. Within musicology, however, the scholarly examination of concepts of Stimmung has been very sluggish. This is all the more astonishing as today’s Stimmung is semantically and historically so closely linked to the musical phenomenon of instrument tuning. In this sense, the project aims to retrace the conceptual history of Stimmung to ca. 1740 and show the importance of music within this history. Thereby the underlying hypothesis assumes that today’s meaning of Stimmung – that includes mucial practice as well as subjective emotional states, intersubjective, social togetherness and also aesthetical and atmospheric experiences – is fundamentally based on transfer and transformation of knowledge between physiology and music aesthetics within the second half of the 18th century and the concept of a physiological attunement of the nerves (Nervenstimmung) that these interdisciplinary discourses focussed on.Using carefully chosen medical and asthetical sources from the decades between 1740 and 1850 the project aims to trace the different concepts of Stimmung in the progressing 18th century and their transformations in the early 19th century. It aims to show how the two disciplines medicine and aesthetics in a mutual discourse transformed and thereby newly created meanings of Stimmung. German sources will be flanked by English sources to investigate the way these transformations were dependent from a specific language. The project’s aim is (1) to develop a historical founded approach to the concept of emotional-atmospheric Stimmung for musicology and to support methodically and conceptually future studies on the close connection between music and Stimmung as well as related concepts like resonance and atmosphere; and (2) to underline the role of musicology for interdisciplinary research on Stimmung, to increase the mutual capabilities for cooperation and thereby to push forward the discourse.The project is planned to be conducted within the scope of the SNF Research Project Stimmung und Polyphonie: Musikalische Paradigmen in Literatur und Kultur at the Department of Cultural and Science Studies, University of Luzern.
