Drawing on long-term ethnographic research alongside Pacific Islander and neo-phenomenological conceptual frameworks, \u003ci\u003eMusic Worlding in Palau\u003c\/i\u003e distinguishes between meaning(s) and meaningfulness in Palauan music-making. These are not binary phenomena, but deeply intertwined. However, unlike meaning(s), meaningfulness to a significant extent suspends language and is thus often prematurely considered ineffable. The book proposes a broader understanding of how the performing arts give rise to a sense of meaningfulness whose felt-bodily affectivity is pivotal to music-making and lived realities. \u003ci\u003eMusic Worlding in Palau\u003c\/i\u003e thus seeks to draw the reader closer to the holistic complexity of music-making both in Palau and more generally.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47616422903959,"sku":"9781041183228","price":3960.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781041183228.webp?v=1775113273","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/music-worlding-in-palau-chanting-atmospheres-and-meaningfulness-9781041183228","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
