Classical Music in British Children’s Television
Recent work on film, video game, and advertisement music has drawn on concepts of narrative, communication, and signification to investigate the use of pre-existing, specifically classical, music in new contexts. Classical music is also used to great effect in some examples of children’s television. In some cases, this mirrors examples from the adult screen world. In a children’s programme, however, this provokes new questions about different lev…
Musical Samplers in the Museum of Musical Works
The music written for submission to the music degrees of English universities during the nineteenth century forms a significant body of works which, while important, present challenges for the historian, music analyst, and performer. Changes to the nature of music degrees, including the compositional exercises, during the nineteenth century received a mixed reception, which illustrates concerns over the separation of the ‘academic’ and ‘aesthetic…
Concerts and Cures at the Crichton Royal Institution, 1840–1860
The Crichton Royal Institution in Dumfries, founded in 1839, was renowned for its programme of educational and recreative activities, firmly part of the system of ‘moral management’ embedded by its founding physician, W. A. F. Browne. Music played a key part in this system, with a series of concerts at the core. This article summarizes Browne’s approach to music as a therapeutic agent before examining the rich body of extant concert programmes an…
Music as Therapy for the ‘exceptionally wealthy’ at the Nineteenth-Century Ticehurst Asylum
Music was widely used within lunatic asylums in nineteenth-century England as part of the ‘moral management’ of patients via entertainment and occupation. The asylum at Ticehurst stood apart on account of its patient body, drawn from the upper classes of society. Documents relating to music at Ticehurst shed new light on the place of music within mental health treatment in the nineteenth century, and particularly on the perceived role of music in…
Sounding the Archival Silence
The music of the nineteenth-century English asylum provides a rare insight into the place of music within the structure of a medical institution during this period. Yet with archives literally 'silent', how far can the sound and experience of music be retrieved and reconstructed? Drawing on critical archive theory and the idea of the soundscape as well as musicological and historical practice, this article questions how we can investigate asylum …
Music and Victorian Liberalism
On Human Needs
Aliens and Alienists
Freud, Psychoanalysis, and Sociology
This paper is an advocacy for the employment of psychoanalytical concepts within sociological theorizing about the individual. Through an exposition of Freud's views on the development of intra-psychic structure and a critique of Parsons' reduction of psychoanalysis to a branch of learning theory, I attempt to show that the sociological approach to the individual is implicitly behavioural and imprisoned in a series of assumptions which, among oth…
