This book explores the relationship between words and music in
contemporary texts, examining, in particular, the way that new
technologies are changing the literature-music relationship. It
brings an eclectic and novel range of interdisciplinary theories to
the area of musico-literary studies, drawing from the fields of
semiotics, disability studies, musicology, psychoanalysis, music
psychology, emotion and affect theory, new media, cosmopolitanism,
globalization, ethnicity and biraciality. Chapters range from
critical analyses of the representation of music and the musical
profession in contemporary novels to examination of the forms and
cultural meanings of contemporary intermedia and multimedia works.
The book argues that conjunctions between words and music create
emergent structures and meanings that can facilitate culturally
transgressive and boundary- interrogating effects. In particular,
it conceptualises ways in which word-music relationships can
facilitate cross-cultural exchange as musico-literary
miscegenation, using interracial sexual relationships as a
metaphor. Smith also inspects the dynamics of improvisation and
composition, and the different ways they intersect with
performance. Furthermore, the book explores the huge changes that
computer-based real-time algorithmic text and music generation are
making to the literature-music nexus. This volume provides
fascinating insight into the relationship between literature and
music, and will be of interest to those fields as well as New Media
and Performance Studies.
