Taking a cue from Erving Goffman's classic work, Asylums, Tia
DeNora develops a novel interdisciplinary framework for music,
health and wellbeing. Considering health and illness both in
medical contexts and in the often-overlooked realm of everyday
life, DeNora argues that these identities are by no means mutually
exclusive. Moreover, she suggests that the promotion of health and
more specifically, mental health, involves a great deal more than a
concern with medication, genetic predispositions, clinical and
neuro-scientific procedures. Adopting a holistic, interactionist
focus, Music Asylums reconnects states of wellness and wellbeing to
encounters with others and - critically - to opportunities for
aesthetic experience. Building on DeNora's earlier work on music as
a technology of self in everyday life, the book presents music as
an active ingredient of action, identity, capacity and
consciousness. From there, it suggests that access to, and
evaluation of, music is an important ethical matter. Intended for
scholars and practitioners in psychiatry and psychology, palliative
care, socio-music studies, music psychology and the allied health
professions, Music Asylums showcases music's role in the
existential project of being and staying well, mentally and
physically, from moment-to-moment and across all realms of social
life.
