The first of two Interdisciplinary Song seminars this term will be held
on Weds 25 April, in the Harrods Room of Emmanuel College, from 12.30 to
2.00.
Ewan Jones will present a paper entitled 'What entrainment can teach
aesthetics'.
Description:
This paper will explore the ethnomusicological and biological concept of
entrainment, which explores the tendency for organisms to synchronise
their endogenous rhythms to external periods or phases. Under its
aspect, I will consider eighteenth- and nineteenth-century texts ranging
that include Adam Smith, Charles Dickens and George Eliot. Some of these
texts feature songs.
As usual, tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided, and participants
are encouraged to bring their own lunch should they wish.
All are warmly welcome
