Becker urges the reader to view certain arcane cultural rituals as being in the mainstream of spiritual development and argues that the resulting trance-like states may relate to the basic fabric of emotions and consciousness, which are our ancestral, animalian heritage. This is both a risky and courageous undertaking that challenges both cultural and neuroscientific studies.\" \u003cbr\u003e —Jaak Panksepp, author of Affective Neuroscience: The Foundations of Human and Animal Emotions\u003cbr\u003e In Deep Listeners, Judith Becker brings together scientific and cultural approaches to the study of music and emotion, and music and trancing. Becker claims that persons who experience deep emotions when listening to music are akin to those who trance within the context of religious rituals. Using new discoveries in the fields of neuroscience and biology, Deep Listeners outlines an emotion-based theory of trance using examples from Southeast Asian and American musics. A companion CD includes excerpts from several of the musical genres under discussion, and a 16-page color insert presents vivid documentation of the global experience of \"deep listening.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e An historical interlude: trance in Europe and the United States\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1: Rethinking 'Trance'\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2: Deep Listeners\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3: Habitus of Listening \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4: Trancing Selves\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5: Being in the World - Culture and Biology\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 6: Magic through Emotion: Towards a Theory of Trance Consciousness\u003cbr\u003e Postscript: Trancing and Human Evolution\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52520709751064,"sku":"9780253216724","price":22.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/deep-listeners-music-emotion-and-trancing-paperback-softback-9780253216724","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
