Across spatial, bodily, and ethical domains, music and dance both emerge from and give rise to intimate collaboration. This theoretically rich collection takes an ethnographic approach to understanding the collective dimension of sound and movement in everyday life, drawing on genres and practices in contexts as diverse as Japanese shakuhachi playing, Peruvian huayno, and the Greek goth scene. Highlighting the sheer physicality of the ethnographic encounter, as well as the forms of sociality that gradually emerge between self and other, each contribution demonstrates how dance and music open up pathways and give shape to life trajectories that are neither predetermined nor teleological, but generative.

Evangelos Chrysagis holds a PhD in social anthropology from the University of Edinburgh. His doctoral research explored the intersection of ‘Do-it-Yourself’ (DiY) music practices and ethics in Glasgow. His articles have appeared in the Journal of Cultural Economy and Visual Culture in Britain. Evangelos serves as associate editor of the open-access journal Arts & International Affairs, and his current research focuses on manifestos in contemporary cultural production.
