[Lutecium-group] Londres-Shofar

[BdF]

Si vous trouvez à Londres aux alentours du 12 juin 2013:


Presentation par BdF sur le Shofar.

The shofar is an instrument used in Jewish rituals, its purpose being to
signal events of tremendous importance. Made of a ram's horn, its
manufacture process has remained unchanged for centuries.

>From a study by Theodor Reik, an early collaborator of Sigmund Freud, I
shall explore what further significations may be attached to this instrument
and its sound, notably in relation to Freud's approach to Totemism, and to
Lacan's category of The-Name-of-the-Father.

I shall then evaluate the consequences which can be drawn with regards to
the world wide ubiquity of musical activities, and the contribution of
musical practices to the construction of the social bond in the 20th and
21th centuries.

As a whole, I hope to demonstrate the usefulness of a methodology which uses
an intersection between different disciplines, such as musicology,
archao-musicology, anthropology, ethnology, semiotics and psychoanalysis.
