Out of Time: Music and the Making of Modernity by Julian Johnson
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 16.2 MB
Overview: What does music have to say about modernity? How can this apparently unworldly art tell us anything about modern life?
In Out of Time, author Julian Johnson begins from the idea that it can, arguing that music renders an account of modernity from the inside, a history not of events but of sensibility, an archaeology of experience. If music is better understood from this broad perspective, our idea of modernity itself is also enriched by the specific insights of music. The result is a rehearing of modernity and a rethinking of music – an account that challenges ideas of linear progress and reconsiders the common concerns of music, old and new.
