Interdisciplinary essays on music psychology that integrate scientific, humanistic, and artistic ways of knowing in transformative ways.

Interdisciplinary essays on music psychology that integrate scientific, humanistic, and artistic ways of knowing in transformative ways.

Researchers using scientific methods and approaches to advance our understanding of music and musicality have not yet grappled with some of the perils that humanistic fields concentrating on music have long articulated. In this edited volume, established and emerging researchers-neuroscientists and cognitive scientists, musicians, historical musicologists, and ethnomusicologists-build bridges between humanistic and scientific approaches to music studies, particularly music psychology. Deftly edited by Elizabeth H. Margulis, Psyche Loui, and Deirdre Loughridge, The Science-Music Borderlands embodies how sustained interaction among disciplines can lead to a richer understanding of musical life.

The essays in this volume provide the scientific study of music with its first major reckoning, exploring the intellectual history of the field and its central debates, while charting a path forward. The Science-Music Borderlands is essential reading for music scholars from any disciplinary background. It will also interest those working at the intersection of music and science, such as music teachers, performers, composers, and music therapists.

Reviews for The Science-Music Borderlands: Reckoning with the Past and Imagining the Future

""[H]ighly recommended for all scholars, in both the humanities and the sciences, who are ready to face, probe, and move beyond conceptual, methodological, and institutional rifts in pursuing earnest interdisciplinary collaborations in music studies. It invites researchers to engage in critical reflections on their own methodologies and problematize concepts that were previously accepted without scrutiny."" --Twentieth-Century Music ""[T]his forward-looking volume conjures a fantastically thought-provoking vision of music scholarship and science....A reminder that the study of music is a collective enterprise, nourished by scientific, humanistic, and aesthetic modes of expertise originating from a multitude of lives and experiences."" --Music & Science ""The Science-Music Borderlands stands as a pioneering and brave effort in defining the landscape of music and music studies. Transcending traditional academic disciplines, the book advocates for an interdisciplinary synthesis that interweaves music with scientific and cultural threads. This work emphasizes the lively interplay between music and human cognition, culture, and environment, directing us to view music not as an isolated thing but as a vibrant, multi-dimensional phenomenon. Its insightful exploration challenges preconceived notions, beckoning us towards a more enriched, inclusive understanding of music's role in the tapestry of human experience."" --Social Epistemology Review and Reply Collective
