Description
Book SynopsisMusical performance is a social interaction between musicians and their audiences, appealing as much to the eye as to the ear. In
In Concert Philip Auslander addresses not only the visual means by which musicians engage their audiences through costume and physical gesture, but also spectacular aspects of performance such as light shows.
Trade ReviewAuslander has earned a primary role in the interpretation of rock performance, especially for his approach to the expression of cultural identities and their mediation in the digital era. Scholars grapple with the myriad and complex parameters that shape musical subjectivities as they are displayed in a range of staged and mediated forms. This book will most certainly bring a larger set of readers into the fold." - Lori Burns, University of Ottawa
"An exciting and influential publication in the field of performance studies." - Jacqueline Warwick, Dalhousie University
