Product Description
This collection of essays, which reflects the views of music scholars who bring critical theory to bear on the theory and analysis of music, is long overdue. The essayists are not fixated on aesthetics: rather, they focus on the social and psychological concerns that previously had been considered marginal to their subject. Music/Ideology is a response to the question "Must the practise of music analysis and music theory always re-inscribe the ideology of aesthetic autonomy?" And, if not, under what circumstances does it re-inscribe that ideology? The responses to these questions should appeal not only to music and cultural theorists, but also to a larger audience engaged in critical theory. Essays by Jean- Francois Lyotard, Alan Street, Richard Littlefield, David Neumeyer, Marion Guck, Suzanne Cusick, David Gramit joke Dame, and Robert Fink.

THE FUNCTION OF ART AND POLITICS IS to make people dream, to fulfill their desires (but not to allow their realization), to transform the world, to change life, to offer a stage on which desire (the director) plays out its fantasmatical theatrics. Read the first page

Extremely interesting. Great book., Nov 4 1998

Ce commentaire est de: Music and Ideology: Resisting the Aesthetic (Hardcover)
I was fortunate to stumble upon this book on Amazon.com. As a musician, it looked intriguing. I bought it and became immediately engrossed. I enjoyed the compelling introduction by Adam Krims. After reading that, I had to continue with the rest of the book. It has a fantastic compilation of essays by a wide variety of authors. As a woman, and an artist, many of these essays were valuable and meaningful to me. Never before have I seen a book that so clearly demonstrates how music ties into the broader conerns within the humanities. I highly recommend it.
