Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This book explores the transformation of ideas of the material in
late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century musical composition.
New music of this era is argued to reflect a historical moment when
the idea of materiality itself is in flux. Engaging with thinkers
such as Theodor Adorno, Sara Ahmed, Zygmunt Bauman, Rosi Braidotti,
and Timothy Morton, the author considers music's relationship with
changing material conditions, from the rise of neo-liberalisms and
information technologies to new concepts of the natural world.
Drawing on musicology, cultural theory, and philosophy, the author
develops a critical understanding of musical bodies, objects, and
the environments of their interaction. Music is grasped as
something that both registers material changes in society whilst
also enabling us to practice materiality differently.

There is a growing interest in what psychoanalytic theory brings to
studying and researching music. Bringing together established
scholars within the field, as well as emerging voices, this
collection outlines and advances psychoanalytic approaches to our
understanding of a range of musics-from the romantic and the
modernist to the contemporary popular. Drawing on the work of
Freud, Lacan, Jung, Zizek, Barthes, and others, it demonstrates the
efficacy of psychoanalytic theories in fields such as music
analysis, music and culture, and musical improvisation. It engages
debates about both the methods through which music is understood
and the situations in which it is experienced, including those of
performance and listening. This collection is an invaluable
resource for students, lecturers, researchers, and anyone else
interested in the intersections between music, psychoanalysis, and
musicology.
