But when it comes to music, things look different.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith an emphasis on the German modernist tradition from Wagner to Sch�nberg, a whole range of references to music are scattered throughout Zizek's copious body of works. However, these efforts seem to go almost unnoticed within academia - at least on first glance. Looking more closely, one notices a subtle but nevertheless consistent adoption of Zizek's theories within musicology, spreading across a broad range of topics and approaches. So, Zizek has become part of musicology, even if his presence is still uncharted territory.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe present volume, which appeals to musicologists and philosophers alike, intends to map different ways in which Zizek's philosophy has been adopted in order to approach many of musicology's core questions, from musical analysis to the opera studies, from contemporary music to the history of the discipline itself. At the same time it both reflects on and questions Zizek's positions on musical aesthetics as expressed in his writings. Last but not least, the volume also features two essays by Zizek himself, reflecting his different approaches to writing about music. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46447785640087,"sku":"9781433178986","price":6694.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781433178986.webp?v=1769141755","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-sound-of-zizek-musicological-perspectives-on-slavoj-zizek-9781433178986","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
