Learning mugham in post-Soviet Azerbaijan often leads to intimate conversations about eşq, or the irresistible desire for a beloved—the central meaning of sung ghazal poetry and a form of intensity experienced during performances of mugham. In this article, I present an approach I call "affective hermeneutics" that shows how the interpretation of love turns into an affective force that moves beyond the boundaries of the mugham musical model found in standard pedagogy. Moreover, it is my contention that affect in mugham performances becomes a tool to forge post-Soviet subjectivities, characterized by paradox and liminality and best expressed in sounds at the edges of the mugham model
