| Summary |
Music invents, constructs, and makes bodies. These are not only technical bodies-those prostheses and artefacts that instruments of music are-but also bodies living a strange life, bodies as strange as a hand with more than five fingers, feet that breathe like lungs, or long-distance touching without contact. In this book, organology, that self-respecting discipline that inventories sound-producing bodies, is questioned for its anthropocentric presuppositions. Beyond the rational descriptions where it inscribes instrumentalists, it is a matter of thinking the forms of hybridation and organ transplants for which the general rhetoric of musical bodies makes space. |
