- This book develops readings of French music from Fauré to Murail through the lens of French philosophy (from Bergson to Nancy) across more than a century (c.1870-2010). Taking Debussy as an exemplary case and a symbolic beginning of a new turn in western music, it traverses multiple fields (music, philosophy, literature, painting) to offer a critical rethinking of the relation between musical modernism and questions of language and meaning. This complex thesis is based on extensive cultural and historical research across several disciplines, in French and English, and close readings of the works of composers, painters, poets, and philosophers.
