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.

Aberrant Nuptials

Deleuze and Artistic Research

Paulo de Assis · Paolo Giudici (eds)

Aberrant Nuptials explores the diversity and richness of the interactions between artistic research and Deleuze studies. ‘Aberrant nuptials’ is the expression Gilles Deleuze uses to refer to productive encounters between systems characterised by fundamental difference. More than imitation, representation, or reproduction, these encounters foster creative flows of energy, generating new material configurations and intensive experiences. Within different understandings of artistic research, the contributors to this book – architects, composers, film-makers, painters, performers, philosophers, sculptors, and writers – map current practices at the intersection between music, art, and philosophy, contributing to an expansion of horizons and methodologies. Written by musicians and artists who have been reflecting Deleuzian and Post-Deleuzian discourses in their artworks, and by established Deleuze scholars who have been working on interferences between art and philosophy, this volume reflects the current relevance of artistic research and Deleuze studies for the arts.

Unique focus on the relation between artistic research and the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze
