Lecture | Richard Strauss, Frank Wedekind and the Ob-Scene of the Total Work of Art


In the late 1890s, both the playwright Frank Wedekind and the composer Richard Strauss found themselves stuck in their respective fields, and considered collaborating. Their efforts came to naught, but their resulting drafts gave rise to two very interesting works – the novel Mine Haha, Or the Bodily Education of Young Girls on the part of Wedekind and the opera Salomé on that of Strauss. This talk by Adrian Daub, Associate Professor of German Studies at Stanford University, argues that these works are united by an ambivalent (and in a sense obscene) relationship to the work of Richard Wagner and his theory of the total work of art.
