Summary:

Music, Dance, Affect, and Emotions in Latin America addresses different manifestations of Argentine music and dance taking advantage of the exciting new theoretical developments advanced by the current affective turn. The contributors deal with the relationship between music, dance, affects, feelings, and emotions in different scenarios and show how the embodiment of music shape the experiential in ways that may impact upon but nevertheless many times evade conscious knowing. This book investigates some of the most important problems the affective turn has brought to light, such as the tendency, in representational accounts of music, to ignore the sensory and sonic registers to the detriment of the embodied and lived registers of experience and feeling that unfold in the process of making or listening to music. It is recommended for scholars of Latin American studies, music studies, sociology, anthropology, and communication. Book jacket.
