Description
This provocative volume of essays challenges traditional views of music as an autonomous aesthetic sphere. By exploring the intersection of music and society, the contributors examine the ways in which they mediate each other within socio-cultural boundaries.
Influenced by recent approaches such as feminism, semiotics, and deconstruction, the writers here question a prevailing ideology that separates music from society. This systematic investigation reveals the implicit assumptions underlying critical methods of the last two hundred years.
Now available in paperback, this book offers a fresh perspective on the complex relationships between music, culture, and society.
