Beskrivning

A source of profound insights into human existence and the nature of lived experience, phenomenology is among the most influential intellectual movements of the last hundred years. The Oxford Handbook of the Phenomenology of Music Cultures brings ideas from the phenomenological tradition of Continental European philosophy into conversation with theoretical, ethnographic, and historical work from ethnomusicology, anthropology, sound studies, folklore studies, and allied disciplines to develop new perspectives on musical practices and auditory cultures.With sustained theoretical meditations and evocative ethnography, the book's twenty-two chapters advance scholarship on topics at the heart of the study of music and culture today--from embodiment, atmosphere, and Indigenous ontologies, to music's capacity to reveal new possibilities of the person, the nature of virtuosity, issues in research methods, the role of memory, imagination, and states of consciousness in musical experience, and beyond. Thoroughly up-to-date, the handbook engages with both classical and contemporary phenomenology, as well as theoretical traditions that have drawn from it, such as affect theory or the German-language literature on cultural techniques. Together, these essays make major contributions to fundamental theory in the study of music and culture.

The editors and contributors are to be congratulated on a publication that promotes a diverse range of expressive cultures and a vibrant academic community. The text succeeds in offering deep, wide-ranging, and up-to-date insights. The Oxford Handbook of the Phenomenology of Music Cultures will inspire fresh engagement with the phenomenological movement and invite researchers to curate their own phenomenological stance, to challenge cultural, aesthetic, and methodological assumptions and, in so doing, to do justice to the complexity of musical resonances in social life.
