Drawing on long-term ethnographic research alongside Pacific Islander and neo-phenomenological conceptual frameworks, Music Worlding distinguishes between meaning(s) and meaningfulness in Palauan music-making. These are not binary phenomena, but deeply intertwined. However, unlike meaning, meaningfulness to a significant extent suspends language and is thus often prematurely considered ineffable. The book proposes a broader understanding of how the performing arts give rise to a sense of meaningfulness whose felt-bodily affectivity is pivotal to music-making and lived realities. Music Worlding thus seeks to draw the reader closer to the holistic complexity of music-making both in Palau and more generally. 517 $aMusic Worlding in Palau 606 $aTheatre studies$2bicssc 606 $aTheory of music and musicology$2bicssc 610 $aMusic, Micronesia, atmospheres, Pacific Islands, performing arts 615 7$aTheatre studies 615 7$aTheory of music and musicology 700 $aAbels$b Birgit$4auth$01228649 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910556101303321 996 $aMusic Worlding in Palau$92852438 997 $aUNINA
