Description
Together, Somehow explores how people form connections and find common ground in the midst of electronic dance music. Drawing on his experiences in Chicago, Paris, and Berlin's minimal techno and house music scenes, Luis Manuel Garcia-Mispireta examines the bonds that form between strangers on the dancefloor.
Garcia-Mispireta identifies a key concept: stranger-intimacy, which refers to the warmth, sharing, and vulnerability that can emerge in these shared experiences. He shows how affect plays a crucial role in bridging the connections between music, dancers, and their emotions.
Through his research, Garcia-Mispireta sheds light on the complexities of belonging and intimacy in these communal settings, highlighting both the sense of community and the potential exclusions that can occur.
