    Re-visioning music as a way of knowing
    Hamann, Judith ( 2009)
    This dissertation explores perceived contradictions and mismatches through a phenomenological, poetic and individual approach to language as a means of expanding rather than contracting concepts, specifically in relation to musical phenomena. It reappraises the way in which we use language, re-envisioning it as something that is a departure from the realm of the literal. Here, language becomes a means to reveal, to use Heidegger’s term, to un-conceal (1971) rather than to represent or codify. The observations in this dissertation are not made from a distance. Personal context is necessarily epistemically implied in the discussion of this problem, and as such, the response to the subject matter and the nature of the research undertaken over the course of this dissertation is also drawn from a personal relationship with language.
