DESCRIPTION:This talk is about the first chapter o
 f a book which the author is currently finishing. 
 The chapter introduces the problem of music signif
 ication and aims at analyzing the main themes of a
  new theory of music mediation. First, he introduc
 es the distinction between direct involvement with
  music and description of this involvement. In bot
 h cases, it seems that subjective engagement with 
 music is important. In a second section, the quest
 ion is asked to what extent a subjectivist approac
 h can contribute to a theory of music mediation. T
 he position of subjectivism, however, is difficult
  to maintain because of its weak philosophical fou
 ndations in skepticism. Therefore, an alternative 
 account, based on human action, is proposed. Final
 ly, this alternative is considered in view of thre
 e foundations, namely linguistic descriptions, cor
 poreal descriptions and the call for technology-me
 diated access to music.    Marc Leman is hoogleraa
 r aan de afdeling Musicologie van de Vakgroep Kuns
 t-, Muziek-, en Theaterwetenschappen van de Univer
 siteit Gent (UGent). Hij is vakgroepvoorzitter en 
 directeur van het onderzoeksinstituut IPEM. Hij he

 tematische Musicologie, en zijn onderzoeksactivite
