商品簡介
The author explores the possibilities of performative listening for research and pedagogy, as a qualitative method of inquiry and a means of engaging with and learning from others. He draws on his experience listening to the autobiography and music of Miles Davis as examples of listening as critically and reflexively engaging with and learning from others. He describes how performative listening requires commitments to listening with curiosity, listening with and to the body, listening for context and location, and listening with accountability, and discusses performative listening within the context of the function of listening, as a metaphor, and as a practice in qualitative research; its function as a research method and pedagogical practice; its ethical basis as a research method; its implementation; its aesthetic elements in terms of culturally produced musical forms and guidelines for research in performance, ethnography, and pedagogy; and performative listening as a research method in terms of critical reflexivity and location.
