Inspired by the seminal work of Tia DeNora and carrying out extensive fieldwork, Trotta carefully analyses the sensitive aspects and the production of meanings that involve the daily musical and sound experiences researched. \u003ci\u003eAnnoying Music Everyday Life\u003c\/i\u003e is a fundamental work for those who seek to rethink the consequences of living in an increasingly sonorous, musical and, for many, much louder world. * Micael Herschmann, Professor, Communications Department, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil *\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnnoying Music in Everyday Life\u003c\/i\u003e is more than the engagement with 'bad' music one might expect from its title. Trotta offers a thoughtful, fascinating account of the ways in which music is bound up with nuisance, violence, social conflict and clashes of taste. The book's well-chosen examples range from 19th-century London to 21st-century Rio de Janeiro. Music's capacity to annoy is traced through lively accounts of clashes between neighbours, then explored more abstractly through rich philosophical and political reflection. A gem of a book. * Will Straw, James McGill Professor of Urban Media Studies, McGill University, Canada *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/i\u003e Introduction 1.
