In Together, Somehow, Luis Manuel Garcia-Mispireta examines how
people find ways to get along and share a dancefloor, a vibe, and a
sound. Drawing on time spent in the minimal techno and house music
subscenes in Chicago, Paris, and Berlin as the first decade of the
new millennium came to a close, Garcia-Mispireta explains this
bonding in terms of what he calls stranger-intimacy: the kind of
warmth, sharing, and vulnerability between people that happens
surprisingly often at popular electronic dance music parties. He
shows how affect lubricates the connections between music and the
dancers. Intense shared senses of sound and touch help support a
feeling of belonging to a larger social world. However, as
Garcia-Mispireta points out, this sense of belonging can be vague,
fluid, and may hide exclusions and injustices. By showing how
sharing a dancefloor involves feeling, touch, sound, sexuality, and
subculture, Garcia-Mispireta rethinks intimacy and belonging
through dancing crowds and the utopian vision of throbbing
dancefloors.
