“The texts in this volume sensitively struggle with the difficult questions of the agency and subjectivity of the form itself of the musical moment; the lifeworld of the maker; and the social relations that suffuse or surround both. No rubric here overdetermines the relay, which is irreducible. In fact, the elements, or the valences of the said spectrum, are redistributed across the field so that hopefully binaries may dissolve in the course of the explication. In other words, the project of distinction and the integrity attending it requires this sensitive struggle so that the desire to be different in the face of the dominant may finally elude the capture of instrumentalization by the nation-state, ideology, the identity industry, market, or any other colonizing interest sometimes in the guise of development, heritage, and even emancipation.”
