SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This dissertation is about the layers of meaning across the text, sound, and experience of the recited Qur'an. In my research, I draw on hermeneutic methods, interviews with reciters and appreciators of recitation, and the tools and literatures of several disciplines-Islamic studies and the academic study of religion more generally, ethnomusicology, anthropology, and history. My approach combines tools and points of view from several disciplines in order to gain the fullest possible understanding to every way in which we may understand meaning as being enacted or communicated via the recited Qur'an.
