Conference on
Wagner & Nietzsche
Conference on
Wagner and Nietzsche
Dublin, 21 - 22 May 2024
A conference jointly hosted by Trinity College Dublin and University College Dublin
Call for Papers
Proposals for 45-minute papers are invited on topics including but not limited to:
Wagner’s prose works
Wagner’s political thought
Wagner’s legacy in philosophy and literature
Schopenhauer’s philosophy (as it bears on Wagner)
Nietzsche’s break from Wagner and Schopenhauer
Nietzsche’s writings on music
Nietzsche’s ethics and/or aesthetics
Background
Friedrich Nietzsche famously wrote in the preface to Der Fall Wagner (The Case of Wagner, 1888): ‘Wagner sums up modernity. There is no way out, one must first become a Wagnerian’. Often discussed as a precursor to several major art movements in the last two centuries, from literary symbolism to film music, Richard Wagner is generally considered amongst the most influential figures in nineteenth century Europe. And yet, his considerable prose works, which underpin many of the technical and practical advances evidenced in his music drama, have received comparatively little scholarly attention.
Wagner and Nietzsche’s relationship, although tumultuous and the subject of much debate, coalesced around a shared philosophical interest in Arthur Schopenhauer. The third of Nietzsche’s Unzeitgemässe Betrachtungen (often translated as Untimely Meditations) ‘Schopenhauer as Educator’, published in 1874, was the last of Nietzsche’s works to be positively received by Wagner. Nietzsche’s works that follow, including the fourth and final of the Meditations, ‘Richard Wagner in Bayreuth’, signal his departure and ultimate disavowal of both Schopenhauer and Wagner.
Although Wagner remained committed to Schopenhauer’s philosophy, the latter was critical of Wagner’s music, claiming that he was more poet than musician. Schopenhauer criticized Wagner for subordinating music to poetic and dramatic aims, thereby misunderstanding his philosophy of music. Indeed, this foreshadows Nietzsche’s late critiques of Wagner’s music summed up in Nietzsche’s somewhat erratic claims that Wagner was both the greatest ‘Schauspieler’ (actor) and ‘miniaturist’ in composition. Both Schopenhauer and Nietzsche were, of course, amateurs in music, and in order to make sense of the schisms that opened up between them, we must investigate the profound, though often nebulous, relationship between philosophy and music in their work.
This workshop marks the 150th anniversary of Nietzsche’s seminal essay and aims to re- open debates regarding the multifaceted philosophical intersections between Wagner, Nietzsche and Schopenhauer. In doing so, it also aims to resituate the philosophical significance of Wagner’s prose writings, not merely as a point of interest for Nietzsche’s philosophy, but as systematic works of philosophy in their own right.
Submissions
We invite submissions containing a title, abstract (250 words max) and brief biography (50 words max) to be sent to Brian O’Connor ([log in to unmask]) and Josh Torabi ([log in to unmask]) by January 31st, 2024. Please include your name, contact details and institutional affiliation if applicable and let us know of any access needs. We will aim to notify participants by February 16th, 2023. The conference registration fee will be €50 (waged) / €25 (unwaged, students) for two days which will cover refreshments. ‘Wagner / Nietzsche’ will be an in-person conference at hosted at both TCD and UCD venues, but please get in touch if access needs or the COVID-19 situation make on-site attendance difficult for you.
The UCD School of Philosophy and the School of English at TCD are dedicated to fostering a diverse and inclusive environment. We welcome proposals from graduate students new to literary and philosophical studies, as well as from established scholars and we particularly welcome abstracts from BAME scholars who we recognise are under-represented in the field.
Publication
Papers with a philosophical orientation will be eligible for consideration for publication in a special edition of the International Journal of Philosophical Studies.
Bursaries
Two bursaries of €300 will be provided on a competitive basis to postgraduate, early-career, or independent scholars for whom another source of funding is not available for travel expenses. Please mention if you wish to apply for a bursary when submitting your abstract.
