  • Emergence of Ethnochoreology Internationally: the Janković Sisters, Maud Karpeles, and Gertrude Kurath
    Elsie Ivancich Dunin Emergence of Ethnochoreology... DOI: 10.2298/MUZ1417197D UDK: 394.3:793.3 39:929 Јанковић Љ. 39:929 Јанковић Д. Emergence of Ethnochoreology Internationally: The Janković sisters, Maud Karpeles, and Gertrude Kurath Elsie Ivancich Dunin1 University of California (Los Angeles) Abstract A fifty-year (1962–2012) period has been shown as a history of ethnochoreology supported by living memories of members of the International Council for Traditional Music (ICTM) Study Group on Ethnochoreology. Recently uncovered and juxtapositioned correspondence of three predecessors within earlier years of the International Folk Music Council (IFMC) broadens the history. This article reveals the emergence of ethnochoreology during the 1950s with publications of the two Janković sisters in Serbia with that of Gertrude Kurath in the United States, alongside correspondence with Maud Karpeles, the unheralded founder of the IFMC. Keywords ethnochoreology, Janković sisters, Gertrude Kurath, Maud Karpeles, IFMC (International Folk Music Council) Introduction The publications of Ljubica and Danica S. Janković2 overlap contemporaneously with dance research writings of Gertrude Prokosch Kurath,3 who in the United States (U.S.) is honored as a pioneer of ethnochoreology (also known as dance ethnology). Although never meeting, the Janković sisters and Kurath are linked through the International Folk Music Council (IFMC) launched by Maud Karpeles in 1947. Her vision of an international commission of dance scholars, such as Janković and Kurath, is evidenced through correspondence in the IFMC/ICTM archives located in the National Library of Australia. Other communications linking Janković and Kurath with folklorists, ethnomusicologists, and anthropologists are found in the Cecil Sharp House with the Vaughan Williams Memorial Library in London and various university-based archives in the United States, such as the Cross-Cultural Dance Resources at Arizona State University, Lilly Library at the University of Indiana in Bloomington, and more.

Her interests and range of activities extended beyond the academic fields of dance ethnology, anthropology and ethnomusicology to which she contributed throughout her life, to dance performance, choreography, art history, administrative roles, and motherhood. However, exemplified in the corpus of her research and writings is an emphasis on dance research, for which two features are emblematic and significant: her progressive approach to fieldwork and her use of dance notation as a means of recording and analysis.

Cosmologies and their relation to music and dance Cosmologies and music/dance structures are related to each other. In particular we would like to know how music and dance articulate cosmologies; cosmologies are shaped by performances, and we would like to understand the different interpretations that come to life through performances. Further, how are worldviews related to gender-specific musics and dances? Can we perceive the communication process in some performance of cosmologies in gender terms as having distinct male and/or female characteristics? 2. National and regional traditions of ethnomusicology and ethnochoreology There have been many different approaches to the study of music and dance in departments of music, in departments of anthropology and in conservatories all over the world. In some traditions the studies have been object-oriented, and in other ones more process-oriented. What is the role of documentation and preservation in these different traditions? How do they deal with the music and dance memory of the world? We also invite contributions that reflect on the role of fieldwork, the integrity of scholarship and the ethical practices in the different traditions.
