It reimagines the ethno and queer in relation to negative emotions and intractable affect, ultimately vanquished and replaced by explorations of sound, sex\/uality, and experiential somaticity within a protean, postdisciplinary space of material\/epistemic equity. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Unspecified\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 240 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 03 November 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Springer International Publishing AG\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis expansive open-access book delves into the interdisciplinary realms of ethnomusicology and queerness, contending that both academic fields are rooted in destructive masculinity, intricately connected to coloniality and epistemic hegemony, and characterized by a monologic, ethnocentric suppression of embodied, same-sex desire. Ethnomusicology's obsession with masculinizing fieldwork; queerness's position as the dominant master category in Anglophone discourse; and the devaluation of sensuality and experience in both domains, coupled with an adherence to provincial, Western conceptions of knowledge production, are exposed as hindering the potential for equitable, dialogic pluriversality. By employing the sonic as a theoretical intervention, the disciplined\/disciplining ethno and queer are reimagined in relation to negative emotions and intractable affect, ultimately vanquished, and replaced by explorations of sound, sex\/uality, and experiential somaticity within a protean, postdisciplinary space of material\/epistemic equity. This rigorous and long-overdue critique holds appeal to scholars and students from diverse theoretical backgrounds, encompassing music, sound, gender, queer, and postcolonial\/decolonial studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 334g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 210 x 148 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783031153150\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2024\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stephen Amico","offers":[{"title":"Unspecified","offer_id":44837207179514,"sku":"9783031153150","price":29.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1701445823626_book.jpg?v=1701496449","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/ethnomusicology-queerness-masculinity-silencedeath-9783031153150","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
