Across spatial, bodily, and ethical domains, music and dance both emerge from and give rise to intimate collaboration. This theoretically rich collection takes an ethnographic approach to understanding the collective dimension of sound and movement in everyday life, drawing on genres and practices in contexts as diverse as Japanese shakuhachi playing, Peruvian huayno, and the Greek goth scene. Highlighting the sheer physicality of the ethnographic encounter, as well as the forms of sociality that gradually emerge between self and other, each contribution demonstrates how dance and music open up pathways and give shape to life trajectories that are neither predetermined nor teleological, but generative.
Evangelos Chrysagis initially trained in History and Archaeology at the University of Ioannina, Greece, before embarking on postgraduate studies in Social Anthropology, earning an M.Sc. and a Ph.D. from the University of Edinburgh, where he was also a guest lecturer until 2015. His doctoral research explored the intersection of do-it-yourself (DiY) music-making and ethics in Glasgow. He has published on the themes of publicity and invisibility in DiY practice, and is currently completing an ethnographic monograph based on his Ph.D. thesis.
