The Anthropology of Music
Author: Alan P. Merriam
Publisher: Northwestern University Press
ISBN: 9780810106079
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 380
Book Description
In this highly praised and seminal work, Alan Merriam demonstrates that music is a social behavior—one worthy and available to study through the methods of anthropology. In it, he convincingly argues that ethnomusicology, by definition, cannot separate the sound-analysis of music from its cultural context of people thinking, acting, and creating. The study begins with a review of the various approaches in ethnomusicology. He then suggests a useful and simple research model: ideas about music lead to behavior related to music and this behavior results in musical sound. He explains many aspects and outcomes of this model, and the methods and techniques he suggests are useful to anyone doing field work. Further chapters provide a cross-cultural round-up of concepts about music, physical and verbal behavior related to music, the role of the musician, and the learning and composing of music. The Anthropology of Music illuminates much of interest to musicologists but to social scientists in general as well.

Author: Bruno Nettl
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
Ethnomusicologist Bruno Nettl highlights the social and intellectual influences that shaped his world view and discusses how the study of music within its societal contexts has changed since the turn of the century. Those concerned with the elements that form the basis for the study of ethnomusicology and the role of the ethnomusicologist will find this conceptual memoir intriguing as the author chronicles his life as a scholar from his birth in Prague, his emigration to the U.S., and his adventures in the field, collecting data and developing professionally within an academic environment. This is Nettl’s story of what it was like to participate in the development of ethnomusicology as a student, teacher, fieldworker, author, editor, advisor, and often just as an observer, for half a century.

Perspectives on a 21st Century Comparative Musicology
Author: Francesco Giannattasio
Publisher:
ISBN: 9788861631502
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"Perspectives on a 21st Century Comparative Musicology : Ethnomusicology or Transcultural Musicology? stems from the 'International Seminars in Ethnomusicology' that F. Giannattasio conceived within the activities of the Intercultural Institute for Comparative Music Studies of the Fondazione Giorgio Cini, devoted to a wide reflection on aims, methods and objects of study of ethnomusicology in the light of the profound changes occurring in this field at the beginning of the 21st Century. It concerns a radical rethinking - at a theoretical and epistemological level - of the history of the discipline, due to the contemporary profound transformation of the object of study. The volume has the ambition of offering new views on what a comparative musicology could do in its enquiry into contemporary music making processes. Scholars coming from different parts of the world, and from different fields of study such as W. Welsch, L.-Ch. Koch, T. Rice, S. Feld, J. Guilbault, J-L. Amselle, contributed to the volume presenting theoretical approaches as an implicit or explicit reaction to the theoretical issues presented by Giannattasio. Together with them, some Italian scholars (G. Giuriati, C. Rizzoni, G. Vacca, R. Di Mauro, M. Agamennone, F. Gervasi) present their thoughts drawn from research in two contexts identified as case studies : the area of Naples and its surroundings, and the Salento."--Page 4 de la couverture.
