Improvisation and Social Aesthetics

Abstract

A new series edited by dAniel FischlinBooks in this new series advocate musical improvisation as a crucial model for political, cultural, and ethical dialogue and action-for imagining and creating alternative ways of knowing and being in the world. The books are collaborations among performers, scholars, and activists from a wide range of disciplines. They study the creative risk-taking imbued with the sense of movement and momentum that makes improvisation an exciting, unpredictable, ubiquitous, and necessary endeavor.
