Abstract

This book originated from an event that the Accademia Musicale Chigiana (Siena) organized for the fiftieth anniversary of Theodor W. Adorno’s death (2019). The authors discuss the crucial aspects of the philosopher’s thinking in this area, highlighting limits and potentials. In many chapters the pole of immediacy is explicitly brought into play, its different manifestations often proving to be fundamental for the understanding of mediation processes. The prime reference sources are Adorno’s Current of Music, Towards a Theory of Musical Reproduction and Composing for the Films. Critical readings of these texts are supplemented by reflections on performance studies, media theories, sociology of listening, post-structuralism and other contiguous research fields.
