OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
In this talk I will explore the possible social structures underlying different modes of performance: from improvisational to structured. Following a review of several musical genres, I will present a theoretical model based on the tight-loose paradigm and expand on the intricate social affordances that are embedded in different forms of musical performances.
