Zusammenfassung: | Some of the perspectives explored in his text include the differences between the public and private spheres of musical experience, between historical and theoretical approaches to musical scholarship, and between the Lacanian "look" of the individual audience member and the returned "gaze" of the performer. The concept is indebted to Slavoj zizek's theory of "looking awry," which its author characterizes as a perceptual process that "[renders] visible aspects that would otherwise remain unnoticed" from a viewer's chosen vantage point in relation to a given object.1 For zizek, the prime perceptual contrast lies between the objective "look" and the subjective "gaze." |
