Ethnomusicology redefined
21st Century Translations

What is ethnomusicology? Why is it relevant today? How has this field of study changed over time, and what potential does it hold for shedding light on complex issues related to music, sound, culture, and society? The topics in this book vary widely, and the collection does not shy away from contradiction, nor does it aim to paint a sharp and cohesive picture of ethnomusicology in other latitudes. Instead, the chapters in this book tackle key challenges in the discipline, ranging from the ethical and political to the existential and ontological. They represent a discipline that is at once brimming with innovation and struggling to reconcile its place in a world fraught with conflict.
