Music's Immanent Future: The Deleuzian Turn In Music Studies

Drawn to musical sound as a powerful form of non-verbal communication, the authors include musicologists, philosophers, music theorists, ethnomusicologists and composers. This volume investigates how we think, converse, write about, compose, listen to and analyse music. The work is informed by the philosophy primarily of Deleuze and Guattari, and secondarily of Foucault, Kristeva and Nancy. The chapters cover a range of topics focused on twentieth and twenty-first century musics, covering popular musics, art music, acousmatic music and electro-acoustic musics, and including music analysis, music's ontology, the noise/music dichotomy, intertextuality and music, listening, ethnography and the current state of music studies.
