It contributes to a new interdisciplinary field of vibration studies, understanding vibration as a mathematical and physical concept, religious or ontological force, and psychological determinant of subjectivity. Boon argues that music, as a shaping of vibration, needs to be recognized as a cosmopolitical practice, shaping individual music scenes and the ethical choices of participants. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 288 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13 July 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMarcus Boon's book \"The Politics of Vibration\" delves into the role of music as a material practice of vibration. He examines the work of three contemporary musicians - Pandit Pran Nath, Catherine Christer Hennix, and DJ Screw - to explore how music creates a vibrational space that facilitates individual and collective transformation. Boon approaches vibration as a mathematical and physical concept, a religious or ontological force, and a psychological determinant of subjectivity. He argues that music, as a shaping of vibration, should be recognized as a cosmopolitical practice, where the availability of vibration and access to it determine the nature of music within a society and its impact on individuals. This politics of vibration is the hidden ontology of contemporary music, as it shapes individual music scenes and the ethical choices made by participants in these scenes about their way of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 399g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781478018391\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marcus Boon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44095629852922,"sku":"9781478018391","price":19.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1659728976597_book.jpg?v=1659984043","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-politics-of-vibration-music-as-a-cosmopolitical-practice-9781478018391","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
