L'interpretazione come percorso di conoscenza: confronti, problemi, prospettive (eBook)

Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2007 in the subject Musicology - Miscellaneous, grade: 110/110 mit Auszeichnung, Istituto Superiore di Studi Musicali "Gaetano Braga" Teramo (Italien), language: Italian, abstract: The concept of interpretation has a very broad application, since it is used within the philosophical, literary, philological, religious, juridical and psychoanalytical fields, in the arts, in music, dance and drama.
This work is about interpretation as road toward consciousness, which the receiver will go along in order to choose his own interpretation of the object he is relating to. In fact, each interpretation highlights the main characteristics of the object and, at the same time, the principal interpretive values which the interpreter refers to.
In the first part, comparisons are made between the different fields in which interpretation is practised, in order to find out if there are relevant analogies among them, and if analogous epistemological criteria could be used in the relative research.
The second part concerns musical interpretation, and focuses on specific questions: hermeneutic and performative interpretation, problems relating to musical texts, issues concerning ancient and contemporary music, different interpretive criteria, and the role and function of the teacher of performative interpretation.
