Bøker av Robert Adlington

This book offers the first in-depth study of how musicians have sought to embody democracy through musical processes and relationships. Author Robert Adlington uses modern democratic theory to explore what he terms 'musical modelling of democracy' as manifested in modern and experimental music of the global North, and interrogates the contingencies and interests on which such visions of democracy are premised.
