Under the influence of Schoenberg, Mahler, and Webern, the waltz became a pivotal symbol, bridging the conscious and unconscious realms. It imposed a paralyzing \"second state,\" akin to the stagnation of the Habsburg Empire. Hood employs Freudian concepts such as the uncanny and the doppelgänger to elucidate this transformation, from the simple meaning of a dance to the psychological anxiety of one's position in society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 210g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 227 x 160 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781793653949\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Danielle Hood","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46120961376506,"sku":"9781793653949","price":34.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1716581421698_book.jpg?v=1716818957","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-viennese-waltz-decadence-and-the-decline-of-austrias-unconscious-9781793653949","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
