Abstract
The complex realationship between music, body and movement in the case of the Calabrian tarantella is explored through an innovative method of frame by frame analysis of digital videos. Basic concepts derived from the studies of African music published by Gerhard Kubik have proved particularly useful. The original method of analysis has revealed unexpected aspects of the music-body relationship: on this base a new theory of rhythm as movement, in contrast to rhythm as sound, is proposed by the author.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
