Deconstructing Incongruence: A Psycho-semiotic Approach toward Difference in the Film-Music Relationship

Ireland
2015 Music and the Moving Image  
This article summarizes the incongruent perspective, a psycho-semiotic approach towards the study of film-music difference that is contextualized by poststructuralist thought. Examples are cited from empirical research conducted alongside the initial theoretical deconstruction to demonstrate: how the perspective theorizes various levels of film-music difference, and their impact upon perceiver experience and response; and the ways in which empirical studies can facilitate inter-and multidisciplinary conceptual deconstruction.
