Aesthetic Republicanism in Shostakovich’s Fourteenth Symphony
Dmitri Shostakovich’s Fourteenth symphony, marked by an experimental and politically charged libretto, is set to verses by four poets, including a piece by Wilhelm Küchelbecker that the composer discovered in Yuri Tynianov’s historical novel Kiukhlia: Story of a Decembrist . Considered in light of the manifold intellectual ties between Shostakovich and Tynianov, the use of Küchelbecker’s poem can be seen to have major implications for the idea of…
On the Night the Dead Return: Five Accounts of Fatal Revenants ( Sha ) from ‘Nighttime Talks’ in Eighteenth-Century Beijing
Yetan suilu (Jottings of nighttime talks) by Hebang’e is a late eighteenth-century Chinese collection of ‘anomaly accounts’. Among the roughly 140 entries in the collection, ‘Huisha wuze’ (Five items on fatal revenants) deals particularly with the Chinese belief that a dead person would visit his or her former home on a specific day in the form of a fatal revenant (sha). Besides providing an annotated translation of ‘Huisha wuze’, this article al…

Contraponto métrico e semantização da forma num poema de Fernando Pessoa
Relying on the notion of metrical counterpoint developed in an earlier article, the author demonstrates the existence of a dense metrical structure in Fernando Pessoa’s poem “Pierrot bêbado” which may be analyzed as consisting of two levels in a relationship of counterpoint. It is also shown that the metrical counterpoint interacts with the semantic level, in that the character of Pierrot mentioned in the title appears in the body of the poem mos…
