Improvisation and Social Aesthetics by Georgina Born
Addressing a diverse set of improvised art and music forms-from jazz and cinema to dance and literature-this volume traces how the social, political, and the aesthetic relate within the context of improvisation.
"An indispensable collection that cracks open a site for more rich and interdisciplinary work" -- Dan DiPiero * boundary 2 *
"[Readers] will be more than rewarded by the insight it offers into the social aesthetics of improvisation, issues you will no longer be able to ignore as you listen to your next improv recording or attend your next improv concert." -- Lawrence Joseph * Musicworks *
"Through both their rigorous theoretical grounding and curation of such a brilliant array of cross-disciplinary contributions, Born, Lewis and Straw offer a thoroughly inspiring set of tools for the academy to begin theorizing where, how and for whom art’s social mediations are occurring. I cannot recommend it highly enough." -- Toby Young * Visual Studies *
