In the past two decades or so, a number of studies have attempted to bridge a long-standing critical gulf between Rousseau's literary works and his social theory, Simon's included. But hers is perhaps the first study to integrate what are already interdisciplinary readings of works such as \u003ci\u003eThe Social Contract\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eDiscourse on the Origin of Inequality\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eJulie\u003c\/i\u003e with Rousseau's considerable writing about music.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—Patrick Riley,Colgate University\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Note on the Text\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1\tPerformance, Rhythm, and the Constitution of Community\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2\tSinging Democracy: Music and Politics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3\tRameau and Rousseau on Absolute and Relative Value: The Theory\/Practice Problem\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4\tFolk Music: Authenticity, Primitivism, and the Uses of Roots Music\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5\tRousseau and Aesthetic Modernity: Music’s Power of Redemption\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConclusion: Rousseau Sings the Blues\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNotes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penn State University","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51455976735063,"sku":"9780271059594","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780271059594.jpg?v=1755033285","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/rousseau-among-the-moderns-music-aesthetics-politics-9780271059594","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
