The Sociality of Voice --$tNotes --$tReferences Cited --$tIndex 330 $aSongs of Seoul is an ethnographic study of voice in South Korea, where the performance of Western opera, art songs, and choral music is an overwhelmingly Evangelical Christian enterprise. Drawing on fieldwork in churches, concert halls, and schools of music, Harkness argues that the European-style classical voice has become a specifically Christian emblem of South Korean prosperity. By cultivating certain qualities of voice and suppressing others, Korean Christians strive to personally embody the social transformations promised by their religion: from superstition to enlightenment; from dictatorship to democracy; from sickness to health; from poverty to wealth; from dirtiness to cleanliness; from sadness to joy; from suffering to grace. Tackling the problematic of voice in anthropology and across a number of disciplines, Songs of Seoul develops an innovative semiotic approach to connecting the materiality of body and sound, the social life of speech and song, and the cultural voicing of perspective and personhood. 606 $aChurch music$zKorea (South) 606 $aMusic$xReligious aspects$zKorea (South) 606 $aSinging$zKorea (South) 610 $aanthropology. 610 $aart songs. 610 $achoral music. 610 $achristianity. 610 $achristians. 610 $achurch. 610 $aconcert halls. 610 $aculture. 610 $aethnographic study. 610 $aethnomusicology. 610 $aeuropean style classical voice. 610 $aevangelical christian. 610 $afaith. 610 $akorean christians. 610 $alinguistics. 610 $amateriality of the body. 610 $amusic. 610 $amusicians. 610 $aopera. 610 $aperformance. 610 $apersonhood. 610 $apolitics. 610 $apreachers. 610 $aprosperity. 610 $areligion. 610 $areligious. 610 $aschools of music. 610 $asemiotics. 610 $aseoul. 610 $asinging. 610 $asocial transformation. 610 $asocietal norms. 610 $asociety. 610 $asongs. 610 $asound. 610 $asouth korea. 610 $astudy of voice. 610 $asuperstition. 610 $avocal and singing. 610 $awestern opera. 615 0$aChurch music 615 0$aMusic$xReligious aspects 615 0$aSinging 676 $a782.2 676 $a782.22095195 700 $aHarkness$b Nicholas$01575954 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790799503321 996 $aSongs of Seoul$93853372 997 $aUNINA
