Music Worlding in Palau: Chanting, Atmospheres, and Meaningfulness is a comprehensive exploration of the performing arts in Palau, Micronesia, as holistic techniques that enable the experiential corporeality of music's meaningfulness. It distinguishes between meaning(s) and meaningfulness in Palauan music-making, highlighting their intertwined nature. While meaning(s) can be interpreted through language, meaningfulness often transcends language and is considered ineffable. The book proposes a broader understanding of how the performing arts give rise to a sense of meaningfulness that is pivotal to music-making and lived realities. By drawing on long-term ethnographic research and Pacific Islander and neo-phenomenological conceptual frameworks, Music Worlding in Palau seeks to draw the reader closer to the holistic complexity of music-making in Palau and beyond.
