Description

Explore the deep connection between human emotion and musical expression in The Passion of Music and Dance: Body, Gender and Sexuality. This book examines the late nineteenth century, a period when highly emotional musical styles emerged to satisfy a growing desire for intense experiences. Readers will learn about the rise of popular, passionate musical genres including flamenco, tango, and rebetika. The text investigates how these styles developed and how intellectuals co-opted emotional experiences traditionally linked to women. By examining how these practices were defined and objectified, the book provides a unique perspective on the history of music, gender, and social identity. This work is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of pop music styles and the social dynamics that shape cultural expression. It offers a detailed look at how music serves as a medium for exploring the limits of human emotion and the complexities of gendered experiences.
