Music, Image, and Gesture

This special issue of South Atlantic Quarterly focuses on music-be it a film score, incidental music for a play, or music for pantomime or dance-as a nonautonomous phenomenon. The result is a broad-based discussion where the cultural, the social, and the political are not considered peripheral contexts that shape music but rather are framed as integral components of the works at hand.Contributors.
