Ornette Coleman Psychoanalysis Discourse

<p><i>Ornette Coleman Psychoanalysis Discourse</i> develops tools from psychoanalysis for the analysis of Ornette Coleman's discourse.</p><p>In this psychoanalytic philosophical and musical meditation on what it means <i>to follow</i> A. L. James presents an approach to the analysis of discourse that is a kind of listening for listening – an attempt to discern in and between the lines of Coleman's speech the implication of new ways to listen new ways to experience Coleman’s music as movement and space – as <i>Movements in Harmolodic Space</i>. Each chapter of this book is oriented with respect to fragments from Coleman’s discourse dealing with a piece or collection of pieces from Coleman’s work with particular attention to the implication of relations and relationality. Insofar as Coleman’s discourse about his work also contains allusions to fields beyond music it develops tools that draw elements and structures from these fields together finding in their relation echoes and parallels.</p><p><i>Ornette Coleman Psychoanalysis Discourse</i> will be of great interest to psychoanalysts musicians and musicologists. It will be relevant for academics and scholars of psychoanalytic and Lacanian studies music and cultural studies.</p>
