The Contemporary Literature-Music Relationship (eBook, PDF)

Intermedia, Voice, Technology, Cross-Cultural Exchange

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the relationship between words and music in contemporary texts, asking how new technologies are changing the literature-music relationship. Its interdisciplinary structure draws from semiotics, musicology, psychoanalysis, music cognition, emotion and affect, cosmopolitanism, globalization, ethnicity, and biraciality. It ranges from critical analyses of the representation of music in contemporary novels, to examination of the forms and cultural meanings of contemporary intermedia and multimedia works. Smith also theorizes cross-culturality in the word and music relationship. This book will be of interest to the fields of Literature, Music, New Media, and Performance.
