Aprašymas

Stop Making Sense offers an original and compelling theory of music &quote;from the perspective of the real&quote; as this term is understood according to the Lacanian orientation in psychoanalysis. Specific examples and cases discussed include Freud's melophobia, or fear of music; Che Guevara's revolutionary a-rhythmia; John F. Nash's obsession with &quote;Bach's Little Fugue&quote;; Talking Heads and Asperger's syndrome/autism; Yoko Ono and the sense of &quote;lack&quote; in the Beatles; the role of &quote;Imagine&quote; in the murder of John Lennon; Brian Eno and the digital auto-generation of Freud's 'oceanic feeling'; Aphex Twin and the brain-dance of the hikikomori; and the utopian promise of Merzbow. The first part of the book explains its theoretical and methodological underpinnings that are based in a reading of subjects and symptoms such as amusia. The second and third parts focus on contemporary examples that look at how music has become both a powerful locus of discontent and also a form of orientation in an age of generalized psychosis imposed by neoliberalism as a form of governance.
