Music in Everyday Life
The power of music to in
fl
uence mood and create scenes, routines and
occasions is widely recognized and this is re
fl
ected in a strand of social
theory from Plato to Adorno that portrays music as an in
fl
uence on
character, social structure and action. There have, however, been few
attempts to specify this power empirically and to provide theoretically
grounded accounts of music’s structuring properties in everyday experi-
ence.
Music in Everyday Life
uses a series of ethnographic studies – an
aerobics class, karaoke evenings, music therapy sessions and the use of
background music in the retail sector – as well as in-depth interviews to
show how music is a constitutive feature of human agency. Drawing
together concepts from psychology, sociology and socio-linguistics, it
develops a theory of music’s active role in the construction of personal
and social life and highlights the aesthetic dimension of social order and
organization in late modern societies.
T DN is senior lecturer at the University of Exeter. She rec-
