  • Gesture in contemporary music on the edge between sound materiality and signification Edson Zanpronha Arte In this paper I approach a variety of topics related to musical gesture in contemporarymusic. I explain how gesture can be understood in contemporary music. I show thatsound materiality and signification are very closely related and that gesture is on theedge between them; that gestures can be regarded as a natural ground to justifycompositional options; that significations can be introduced by gestures into thecomposition, and that to deconstruct stereotyped symbolic gestures is to bring themcloser to sound materiality. I analyze transcultural significations in gesture and thereduction of signification to gesture. I comment on gesture in performance in theparticular case of electroacoustic music, and I conclude by commenting on gesture andthe poetic conception of the contemporary music as a resource to concentrate listeningin one of its central plots. 2005 artículo científico 1697-0101 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=82200917 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=822 Trans.
