About the Authors
  • Theodor W. Adorno broached key questions about the role of music in contemporary society and argued that it affected consciousness and was a means of social management and control. Asserting that music sociology can be greatly enriched by returning to Adorno's focus on music as a dynamic medium of social life, this book considers cognition, the emotions and music as a management device.

    • Hands on guide to how to do music sociology
    • First book to explore Adorno's work within context of empirical music sociology and reassess his legacy
    • Develops a new approach to music sociology drawing on current musicological and sociology concerns

    Reviews & endorsements

    If Adorno paved the way for the disciplines of sociology and musicology to come together, DeNora has brought this interdisciplinary scholarship to a new level of sophistication, showing that the dialogue between musicology and sociology is still a two-way street." - William G. Roy
