Autoethnographies Volume I

292 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This volume explores how music-making, listening, composing and caring within musicking contexts foster spiritual and emotional well-being in diverse settings. By engaging with both deeply personal and collective experiences across musical contexts, the chapters showcase innovative forms of autoethnography—individual, duo, trio, and collaborative—that illuminate how music shapes meaning, belonging, transformation, and healing. Rich with narrative, theory, and creative expression, this collection brings forward multiple dimensions of spirituality—metaphysical, intrapersonal, interpersonal, intergaian, and extrapersonal—while offering fresh insights into vulnerability, compassion, and the search for wholeness. Spanning contexts as diverse as professional performance, education, care centres, grief journeys, and everyday listening, the contributions reveal music’s enduring role in connecting body, spirit, community, and environment.
