Lodewijk Muns deposited Who’s ‘I’ in Music?: Unmasking the Musical Persona in the group
Society for Music Theory (SMT) on Humanities Commons 4 years agoAccording to conventional literary theory, when we interpret the text of a poem or work of fiction as a condensed or represented speech act, this implies a hypothetical speaker.

Society for Music Theory (SMT) on Humanities Commons 4 years, 7 months agoReich’s Violin Phase has been mired in questions of time since its inception. In this article I present a theory of time in process music based on the notion of kinesthetic knowledge, and the synthesis of musical temporality through the generative (chronopoietic) and transformational (chronopraxial) acts of the body. I illustrate this theory w…[Read more]

Brad Osborn deposited Resistance Gazes in Recent Music Videos in the group
Society for Music Theory (SMT) on Humanities Commons 4 years, 8 months agoA number of recent music videos by women subvert the male gaze (Mulvey) through a number of techniques I construe as “resistance gazes.” These videos subvert the hypersexualization, infantilization, objectification, and victimi- zation regularly seen in music videos using imagery that resonates with broader cultural movements such as #metoo and #timesup.
