Abstract
Ethology is a subfield of Zoology that studies animal behavior, gestures and patterns of expression in order to obtain information about their emotional state. These ideas can be used for the study of emotions evoked by music, in terms of musical listening and/or performance. This work investigates the occurrence of musical meaning generated by the manipulation of sound objects (in terms of expressed or perceived meaning), as well as its following effects in the listeners, such as evoked emotion. This article aims to relate analytical psychology, on symbols and the unconscious mind, with principles of ethology, on animal (including human) communication, in relation to the cognitive, emotional and behavioral processes related to music listening.
