Description
Music, Dance, Have an effect on, and Emotions in Latin America is a collection of essays that analyze different manifestations of Argentine music and dance benefiting from the exciting new theoretical developments advanced by the current affective turn. Contributors handle the relationship between music, dance, affects, feelings, and emotions in different scenarios and show how the embodiment of music shape the experiential in ways that may have an effect on upon but then again time and again evade conscious knowing. This book is without doubt one of the first academic attempts (without reference to region or country of scope) to check out to solve one of the crucial most important problems the affective turn has identified regarding how music and dance have been researched so far, such as the tendency, in representational accounts of music, to ignore the sensory and sonic registers to the detriment of the embodied and lived registers of experience and feeling that unfold in the process of making or listening to music.
