In what ways is music implicated in the politics of belonging? How
is the proper at stake in listening? What role does the ear play in
forming a sense of community? Music and Belonging argues that
music, at the level of style and form, produces certain modes of
listening that in turn reveal the conditions of belonging.
Specifically, listening shows the intimacy between two senses of
belonging: belonging to a community is predicated on the possession
of a particular property or capacity. Somewhat counter-intuitively,
Waltham-Smith suggests that this relation between
belonging-as-membership and belonging-as-ownership manifests itself
with particular clarity and rigor at the very heart of the
Austro-German canon, in the instrumental music of Haydn, Mozart,
and Beethoven. Music and Belonging provocatively brings recent
European philosophy into contact with the renewed music-theoretical
interest in Formenlehre, presenting close analyses to show how we
might return to this much-discussed repertoire to mine it for fresh
insights. The book's theoretical landscape offers a radical update
to Adornian-inspired scholarship, working through debates over
relationality, community, and friendship between Derrida, Nancy,
Agamben, Badiou, and Malabou. Borrowing the deconstructive
strategies of closely reading canonical texts to the point of their
unraveling, the book teases out a new politics of listening from
processes of repetition and liquidation, from harmonic suppressions
and even from trills. What emerges is the enduring political
significance of listening to this music in an era of heightened
social exclusion under neoliberalism.
