Music in Everyday Life
Book • 2009
Tia DeNora's Music in Everyday Life studies how individuals employ music to structure time, manage emotions, and construct identities in everyday contexts.
Combining ethnographic research and theoretical analysis, the book shows music's practical functions beyond aesthetic appreciation.
It explores contexts like work, leisure, and personal routines to demonstrate music's role in mood regulation and social cohesion.
DeNora argues that music acts as a technology of the self, instrumental in organizing experience and memory.
The work has been influential in music sociology and cultural studies, broadening understanding of music's social utility.
