Denise Gill analyzes how the melancholies intentionally cultivated by Turkish classical musicians, typically dismissed as the remnants of Ottoman nostalgia, emerge as reparative, pleasurable, and spiritually redeeming. Melancholic Modalities intervenes in debates about music and affect, and offers new, innovative methodologies of rhizomatic analysis and bi-aurality for researchers.
