Addressing a wide range of improvised art and music forms-from jazz
and cinema to dance and literature-this volume's contributors
locate improvisation as a key site of mediation between the social
and the aesthetic. As a catalyst for social experiment and
political practice, improvisation aids in the creation,
contestation, and codification of social realities and identities.
Among other topics, the contributors discuss the social aesthetics
of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians, the
Feminist Improvising Group, and contemporary Malian music, as well
as the virtual sociality of interactive computer music, the
significance of "uncreative" improvisation, responses to French New
Wave cinema, and the work of figures ranging from bell hooks and
Billy Strayhorn to Kenneth Goldsmith. Across its diverse chapters,
Improvisation and Social Aesthetics argues that ensemble
improvisation is not inherently egalitarian or emancipatory, but
offers a potential site for the cultivation of new forms of social
relations. It sets out a new conceptualization of the aesthetic as
immanently social and political, proposing a new paradigm of
improvisation studies that will have reverberations throughout the
humanities. Contributors. Lisa Barg, Georgina Born, David Brackett,
Nicholas Cook, Marion Froger, Susan Kozel, Eric Lewis, George E.
Lewis, Ingrid Monson, Tracey Nicholls, Winfried Siemerling, Will
Straw, Zoe Svendsen, Darren Wershler
