Description
Music in Everyday Life by Tia DeNora explores how music shapes our lives and influences our experiences. Through ethnographic studies and in-depth interviews, DeNora reveals how music is an integral part of human agency, constructing personal and social life. DeNora draws on concepts from psychology, sociology, and socio-linguistics to develop a theory of music's active role in shaping our daily routines, social interactions, and aesthetic experiences. This book provides a unique insight into the power of music to create scenes, routines, and occasions, and its impact on character, social structure, and action. By examining the role of music in various settings, such as aerobics classes, karaoke evenings, and music therapy sessions, DeNora sheds light on the aesthetic dimension of social order and organisation in late modern societies.
