| Abstract | "How do people turn listening into a musical performance? Through a series of compelling case studies, author Byrd McDaniel offers "spectacular listening" as a concept that explains the pervasive appeal of translating music consumption into a public practice, in a book that encompasses air guitar competitions, lip syncing apps, podcasts, music memes, reaction videos, video platforms, and attention-grabbing content creators. Through a series of mixed methods from ethnomusicology and media studies, McDaniel investigates the way digital platforms incentivize people to share their listening with others. Exploring themes related to circulation, vulnerability, accessibility, and reactivity, McDaniel examines how the increasing popularity of these practices challenges dominant listening norms, while focusing in particular on the stakes for listeners with disabilities. He reveals how listening-as-performance can be an opportunity for play, as well as a critical practice that exposes ableism in music institutions, technologies, and discourse"-- Provided by publisher. |
