    Collaborative Temporality: Merleau-Ponty and The Phenomenology of Music by Rachel C. Elliott A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Philosophy Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Rachel Elliott, December, 2018 ABSTRACT COLLABORATIVE TEMPORALITY: MERLEAU-PONTY AND THE PHENOMENOLOGY OF MUSIC Rachel Elliott Advisor: Professor John Russon University of Guelph, 2018 Music seems to illuminate the lived experience of embodiment. Described phenomenologically, musical experience reveals what Maurice Merleau-Ponty in the Phenomenology of Perception calls the habit body. In articulating the habit body’s role in music, it becomes clear that music contains the possibility of expanding the habit body, but also of reinforcing or stabilizing it. I bring this insight to bear on work locating the intractability of oppression in rigid and inhibited habit bodies, perpetrated and undergone respectively. Finally, I show how my habit body account of musical experience significantly enhances our understanding of an important and widely reported feature of musical experience: the sense of empowered belonging. I identify a theoretical shortcoming in accounts that source the ‘we’ experience to being in time together and offer an account of collaborative temporality based in the habit body as remedy. In so doing, I identify the openness of what Edmund Husserl calls protentional expectation as the mode in which collaborative temporality can occur, suggesting that the ‘we’ experience is an aspirational one. iii DEDICATION In memory of Katherine Peacock and Eleanor Stubley. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am grateful to my supervisor Dr. John Russon for his guidance and insight, and for continually pushing me to be more nuanced.
