Description

Identity and subjectivity in musical performances
Who is the "I" thatperforms? The arts of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries have pushed usrelentlessly to reconsider our notions of the self, expression, andcommunication: to ask ourselves, again and again, who we think we are and howwe can speak meaningfully to one another. Although in other performing artsstudies, especially of theatre, the performance of selfhood and identitycontinues to be a matter of lively debate in both practice and theory, thequestion of how a sense of self is manifested through musical performance has been neglected. The authors of Voices, Bodies, Practices are allmusician-researchers: the book employs artistic research to explore howembodied performing “voices” can emerge from the interactions of individualperformers and composers, musical materials, instruments, mediatingtechnologies, and performance contexts.
