	Fugue state - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A fugue state is therefore similar in nature to the concept of dissociative identity disorder (DID) (formerly called multiple-personality disorder) although DID is widely understood to have its conception in a long-term life event (such as a traumatic childhood), where sufficient time is given for alternate personality representations to form and take hold.
		As the person experiencing a fugue state may have recently suffered an amnesic onset—perhaps a head trauma, or the reappearance of an event or person representing an earlier life trauma—the emergence of a "new" personality seems to be for some, a logical apprehension of the situation.
		Unlike a dissociative identity disorder, a fugue is usually considered to be a malingering disorder, resolving to remove the experiencer from responsibility for their actions, or from situations imposed upon them by others.

	Fugue
		Fugues are generally in three or three or four parts, meaning melodic voices, but more parts up to eight or even ten are possible in large choral or orchestral fugues.
		But during the baroque era the scholarly or church fugue, which usually appeared as a showpiece in large choral works written for big occasions, declined in favour of a new, lighter kind of instrumental fugue particularly associated with the Italian overture form, where it made up the fast middle section, and with the instrumental sonata.
		The former is a collection of fugues (and a few canons) on a single theme; the latter is two volumes written in different times of his life, each comprising 24 prelude and fugue pairs, one for each major and minor key.

	Fugue
		A widespread view of the fugue is that it is not a musical form (in the sense that, say, sonata form is) but rather a technique of composition.
		A motet differed from a fugue in that each phrase of the text had a different subject which was introduced and worked out separately, whereas a fugue continued working with the same subject or subjects throughout the entire length of the piece.
		It was in the Baroque period that the writing of fugues became central to composition, in part as a demonstration of compositional expertise.

	Fugue State Press - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fugue State Press (established 1992) is a small New York City literary publisher, specializing in the experimental novel.
		Notable reviews in Publishers Weekly, Review of Contemporary Fiction, American Book Review and elsewhere have characterized the books as unusual examples of the experimental novel, successfully avoiding a focus on the merely technical, reflexive, or irony-imbued aspects of postmodern fiction, and instead offering highly emotional and committed expression within a range of innovative frameworks.
		The name of the press is a reference both to the psychological term fugue state and to the musical form fugue, perhaps reflecting some of the dissociative and musical tendencies of the prose it publishes.

	Dissociative Fugue: Amnesia and Related Disorders: Merck Manual Home Edition
		Dissociative fugue is a disorder in which one or more episodes of sudden, unexpected, and purposeful travel from home (fugue) occur, during which a person cannot remember some or all of his past life.
		Malingering is a state in which a person feigns illness because it removes him from accountability for his actions, gives him an excuse to avoid responsibilities, or reduces his exposure to a known hazard, such as a dangerous job assignment.
		Dissociative fugue is treated much the same as dissociative amnesia, and treatment may include the use of hypnosis or drug-facilitated interviews (see Amnesia and Related Disorders: Treatment and Prognosis).

		In this frustrated state sexual feeling may become a problem to the child, and there are no doubt episodic and transitional moments when his sexuality produces images and impulses of an object directed variety.
		In this inhibited state, where the individual accepts an inner automatic setting, putting aside reason and initiative, he can find greater access to recall of previous situations in his life which were similarly constricted in their human scope.
		In a state of guilt men undergo a diminution in their energy for action and this opens the door to a deepening sense of self and of the nature of others.

	Dissociative Fugue and the Conscious/Unconscious Chasm
		Automatisme Ambulatoire, also known as hysterical fugue, dissociative fugue or simply fugue, is a mental disorder wherein the afflicted individual is prone to taking unexpected trips in a state of unconsciousness such that she is unable to recall where she has been, or how she ended up in a particular place.
		This separation of the self from the actions of the body characterizes fugue as a dissociative disorder, meaning that it entails the separation of certain mental and physical actions from a conscious awareness of those actions.
		That is, fuguers, who are not asleep, are to the outside observer almost identical to sleepwalkers, and both conditions are rather difficult to distinguish from an awakened, fully conscious state.

	Consciousness
		States might also be regarded as conscious in a narrative sense that appeals to the notion of the “stream of consciousness”, regarded as an ongoing more or less serial narrative of episodes from the perspective of an actual or merely virtual self.
		Drawing connections, one might argue that states appear in the stream of consciousness only in so far as we are aware of them, and thus forge a bond between the first meta-mental notion of a conscious state and the stream or narrative concept.
		Our conscious mental states seem to have their meanings intrinsically or from the inside just by being what they are in themselves, by contrast with many externalist theories of mental content that ground meaning in causal, counterfactual or informational relations between bearers of intentionality and their semantic or referential objects.

	fugue
		Patients in fugue states often focus their attention exclusively on achieving a specific goal, such as finding their way to a particular destination.
		Patients in fugue states are generally oblivious to their disconnection from the past until a situation arises that requires them to identify themselves or to provide information about their background and experiences.
		At the termination of the fugue, the memory for the past life before the onset of fugue is restored, but the memory for the events occurring during the state of the fugue is temporarily lost.

	Functional Amnesia 1989
		The fugue, but not the amnesia, typically ends when patients are asked questions about their identity or past that they cannot answer (Stengel, 1941).
		Since the fugue is defined as that period during which patients are unaware of memory loss, it almost never comes to the attention of appropriate professionals until awareness is achieved, and is therefore virtually impossible to study while it is occurring.
		Some patients emerge directly from the fugue into a state of full recovery (Pratt, 1977), whereas others proceed from the fugue to a second stage that is characterized by awareness of loss of personal identity and large sectors of the past.

	The Stranger \| Seattle \| Film \| Feature \| Fugue State
		She leaves the unspeakable act she witnessed behind and psychologically cancels it out, entering what is known as a "fugue state": an alternate, parallel, blissful reality that shields her from fear and pain.
		The device of the fugue is by far the most fascinating aspect of Neil LaBute's latest film, Nurse Betty, in which Betty (Renée Zellweger), a diner waitress, settles comfortably into a thick confusion after accidentally witnessing her sleazy drug-dealer husband's murder.
		The idea of a fugue, of going through something so terrifying, so traumatic and unbearable, that the only way to respond is to just abandon who and where you are and become another person--this idea is the meat of the story, the propeller behind Betty's surreal adventure.
