Fire As A First Cause Of Phenomenon In Gaston Bachelard's The Psychoanalysis Of Fire And Igor Stravinsky's The Rite Of Spring

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, the ballet of Igor Stravinsky The Rite of Spring is interpreted from the perspective of Gaston Bachelard's philosophical thought. Bachelard's systemiatic psychoanalysis of literary images in The Psychoanalysis of Fire is applied to the interpretation of musical images in The Rite of Spring. Bearing in mind that rythm is a key characteristic of Stravinsky's composition, the paper analyses the immediate correspondences between Stravinsky's and Bachelard's perception and interpretation of rythm in the works under consideration.
