Addressing a wide range of improvised art and music forms-from jazz and cinema to
dance and literature-this volume's contributors locate improvisation as a key site
of mediation between the social and the aesthetic. As a catalyst for social experiment
and political practice, improvisation aids in the creation, contestation, and codification
of social realities and identities. Among other topics, the contributors discuss the
social aesthetics of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians, the
Feminist Improvising Group, and contemporary Malian music, as well as the virtual
sociality of interactive computer music, the significance of "uncreative" improvisation,
responses to French New Wave cinema, and the work of figures ranging from bell hooks
and Billy Strayhorn to Kenneth Goldsmith. Across its diverse chapters, Improvisation
and Social Aesthetics argues that ensemble improvisation is not inherently egalitarian
or emancipatory, but offers a potential site for the cultivation of new forms of social
relations. It sets out a new conceptualization of the aesthetic as immanently social
and political, proposing a new paradigm of improvisation studies that will have reverberations
throughout the humanities
