Conflits armés, idéologie et technologie dans Für Paul Dessau de Luigi Nono
Despite the horror caused by war, some armed conflicts of the twentieth century have raised great hopes for social justice among Marxist artists engaged in the international political struggles of their time.

| description | Despite the horror caused by war, some armed conflicts of the twentieth century have raised great hopes for social justice among Marxist artists engaged in the international political struggles of their time. Such was the case of the Italian composer Luigi Nono (1924-1990). In this article, I examine how Nono addresses some of these armed conflicts, such as Third World liberation struggles, through his work for magnetic tape Für Paul Dessau (1974). I also analyse the relationship between the composer’s use of technology, his political thinking and the historical and aesthetic dimensions of this work – especially within the context of the Cold War and the Marxist ideology. More broadly, this paper aims at contributing to the understanding of Marxism as advocated by Luigi Nono, as an intellectual and an activist artist in the Italian Communist Party (PCI), so as to see how it is articulated with his aesthetics and compositional practice. |
