@KatieOsha @Late_Summer2019 Some sharp questions from the audience. Is there more interest in music and conflict in c21st literature than c20th? Are there parallels in how lit represents other forms, like visual art? And lastly isn't it all subjective anyway?! #LSLSDurham
@KatieOsha @Late_Summer2019 ...words have less ambiguity. Music exposes the limits of what people can say in authoritarian regimes, such as in Madeleine Thien's novel. #LSLSDurham
@KatieOsha @Late_Summer2019 Classical music is formal in structure, and often associated with esteemed venues like concert halls. It carries an aura of 'dignity'. When music is placed in the context of conflict and trauma we have to rethink our preconceptions. #LSLSDurham
@KatieOsha @Late_Summer2019 @KatieOsha suggests that in novels set in the extremes of conflict, we can better see how the phenomenon of music in literature works to express feeling. #LSLSDurham
Some not-so-live tweets from @KatieOsha's brilliant @Late_Summer2019 #LSLSDurham lecture tonight.
In an ironic conjunction of music and literature, my phone gave the tuneful note of battery death, so had to pick up the pen and write (now converted to tweets).
When all we have left is music.
@KatieOsha describes how fiction represents the trauma of conflict, by inviting readers to 'hear' music.
All welcome to @Late_Summer2019 @durham_uni lecture next week

As a writer Dickens was interested in the transformative power of the unconscious, and he anticipates Freud in exploring how buried trauma impacts our present. #lslsdurham
Q: What links #CharlesDickens and #SigmundFreud?
A: The Signal-Man - a hauntingly terrifying and incredibly complex short story.

People turned the spaces around them into metaphors for the underworld. A local river might become the Styx, a cave the entrance to the underworld. They imagined the underworld, and the dead within it, as all around. #LSLSDurham
The underworld was both a literal and metaphorical space, where the memories of the dead could be preserved. When the hero in classical narrative descends to the underworld he has to retell us about past people and the events they experienced. #LSLSDurham
