خواندن موسیقی: مقالات منتخب (سری متفکران معاصر اشگیت در موسیقی‌شناسی انتقادی)

This outstanding collection of Susan McClary's work exemplifies her contribution to a bridging of the gap between historical context, culture and musical practice. The selection includes essays which have had a major impact on the field and others which are less known and reproduced here from hard-to-find sources. The volume is divided into four parts: Interpretation and Polemics, Gender and Sexuality, Popular Music, and Early Music. Each of the essays treats music as cultural text and has a strong interdisciplinary appeal. Together with the autobiographical introduction they will prove essential reading for anyone interested in the life and times of a renegade musicologist. Chapter Headings Include: 'the Blasphemy Of Talking Politics During The Bach Year', 'structures Of Identity And Difference In Bizet's 'carmen'', ''living To Tell: Madonna's Resurrection Of The Fleshly', 'the Cultural Work Of The Madrigal' And Much More.
