He introduces the concept of stranger-intimacy, which describes the warmth, sharing, and vulnerability that often occurs between people at popular electronic dance music parties. Garcia-Mispireta highlights how affect lubricates the connections between music and dancers, creating a sense of belonging to a larger social world. However, he also acknowledges that this sense of belonging can be ambiguous, fluid, and potentially conceal exclusions and injustices. By examining the various elements involved in sharing a dancefloor, including feeling, touch, sound, sexuality, and subculture, Garcia-Mispireta challenges traditional notions of intimacy and belonging and offers a fresh perspective on throbbing dancefloors as utopian visions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 442g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 153 x 232 x 23 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781478025047\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Luis Manuel Garcia-Mispireta","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44917867348218,"sku":"9781478025047","price":19.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1703263994630_book.jpg?v=1703310084","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/together-somehow-music-affect-and-intimacy-on-the-dancefloor-9781478025047","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
