Identity and subjectivity in musical performances
Who is the “I” that
performs? The arts of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries have pushed us
relentlessly to reconsider our notions of the self, expression, and
communication: to ask ourselves, again and again, who we think we are and how
we can speak meaningfully to one another. Although in other performing arts
studies, especially of theatre, the performance of selfhood and identity
continues to be a matter of lively debate in both practice and theory, the
question of how a sense of self is manifested through musical performance has been neglected. The authors of Voices, Bodies, Practices are all
musician-researchers: the book employs artistic research to explore how
embodied performing “voices” can emerge from the interactions of individual
performers and composers, musical materials, instruments, mediating
technologies, and performance contexts.
