So it comes as no surprise that the editors of this volume think that ethnomu- sicology matters. On the other hand, there have long been complaints by ethnomusi- cologists worldwide about the fact that ethnomusicology is considered a marginalized field. The relevance of the discipline varies of course according to the respective backgrounds: the national traditions of the discipline and its presence in academic institutions. Accordingly, the names of the discipline also vary: folk music research, cultural anthropology of music, musical ethnology, just to name a few.1 The structural positioning of ethnomusicology within institutions and universities is of course crucial when considering its influence. Very often we find it as a sub-discipline of musicol- ogy, especially in Europe, which makes sense of course considering that it came into existence as comparative musicology (see Titon 2015). On the other hand, folk music research as a part of ethnomusicology looks back on different historical founding nar- ratives. The history of the discipline is not the topic of this volume, but to a certain extent it does influence the structural positioning of the discipline nowadays, which again is important in connection with power relations. The authors of this volume primarily try to underline ethnomusicology’s relevance not by its strategical positioning, but by its research topics and results that can influ- ence social and political realities. However, the whole picture probably has to be taken into consideration when reading this book. The genesis of this publication is very much connected to both: the results of research are influential as well as structural positioning. The symposium which laid the ground for this volume was called Musics Matter! Ethnomusicology and its Socio-political Relevance Today (28-30 September 2017) and it was held to mark the inauguration of the ICTM Secretariat in Vienna. The Secretar- iat of the International Council for Traditional Music is a rather influential institution in the world of ethnomusicology, and was located previously in New York, Los Ange- les, Canberra and Ljubljana. It is the operational centre of the ICTM. The Council was founded in 1947 and is the key international organisation serving the field of eth- nomusicology worldwide. Its mission is to deal in a scholarly manner with the entire 1 We are well aware that there are diverse research histories as well as political backgrounds involved. In spite of this we decided to choose “ethnomusicology” as the umbrella term. 7 Open-Access-Publikation im Sinne der CC-Lizenz BY-NC-ND 4.0 Ursula Hemetek, Marko Kölbl, Hande Sağlam range of diverse musics that exist in our world. The positioning of the Secretariat at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna (mdw) signified an increase in the prestige of ethnomusicology within the university. The ICTM Secretariat is located at the mdw’s Department of Folk Music Research and Ethnomusicology, which has for decades been an important networking platform for the world’s many different “musics” as well as for the various music- and dance- related expressive forms that are situated outside the mainstream. Having brought the Secretariat to the department, Ursula Hemetek’s research agenda—music and minori- ties—received more attention: this field of research has a great deal to do with socio- political relevance, and this agenda is actually a point of departure for the contents of this book. International ethnomusicological personalities were invited to the aforementioned symposium to discuss the field’s socio-political relevance in light of current lines of ethnomusicological discourse, which are of considerable political significance. Most of the contributions which make up this book were submitted as articles specifically for this publication, and after a double-blind peer reviewing process they have now been published. It is amazing to see how manifold the ethnomusicological approaches can be that contribute towards influencing political and social realities: analysing philo- sophical paradigms or the potential power of music itself, the positioning of the dis- cipline as university politics, the application of gender discourses, discussing the role of heritage and archives as well as indigenous ontologies, and of course applied ethno- musicology itself as a political intervention in the interests of social justice. Within the discipline of ethnomusicology, the links between scholarly research and socio-political realities are largely pre-specified by interpersonal relations in field- work. Fieldwork often implies the forming of personal bonds with individuals and/or groups—accordingly, ethnomusicologists are commonly involved with communities and the socio-political conditions surrounding them. It is the very nature of human relationships that creates the aspiration to socio-political change in a large amount of ethnomusicological research, as the articles of this volume clearly show. Hence, ethnomusicology matters precisely because of its involvement with indi- viduals and communities. For ethnomusicological research to gain socio-political rel- evance, however, a certain political intention—a vision for the way in which political realities can be influenced—is crucial. This intention manifests itself in a wide range of forms—from political statements to applied and engaged

  • Global Music Theory: Issues, Possibilities, and Fundamental Concepts
    Chapter 1 Global Music Theory: Issues, Possibilities, and Fundamental Concepts Global Musicianship: Imperative and Dilemma This book does not purport to constitute a theory for all music. It is not a work of ethnomusicology. Nor is it a study in natural science or mathematics, though it does draw on basic ideas from those disciplines, especially from acoustics and human perceptual theory. Those looking for validation of the concepts and methods in this book by means of formal proofs will likely be disappointed. Rather, this is a book by a musician for musicians, one that attempts to address an increasingly pressing problem in an age of what might be called “global musicianship”: how to offer a practical approach to analytical understanding that might be useful for a very wide variety of musics, and which is at the same time manageable for the purposes of music education, especially at the collegiate level. In the remarkable introduction to his book Analytical Studies in World Music, composer, theorist and ethnomusicologist Michael Tenzer astutely notes that: In coming years it is conceivable that we will want a world music theory … [and] it would have to be an umbrella set of practical concepts for teaching … The purpose of such a theory would be in the first place to start making sense of our complex cross-cultural musical selves and perceptions. We are often told of the world’s vast and rapid changes but rarely advised on how to make sense of them as musicians. A world music theory would be a response to economic and cultural transformation making it desirable for musicians to acquire competence not just passively hearing, but contemplating and integrating any music.

E-mail: [email protected], www.csss-isla.com Page | 1 E-Digest - Ambedkar’s Appropriation by Hindutva Ideology Preface Many a debates are raging in various circles related to Ambedkar’s ideology. On one hand the RSS combine has been very active to prove that RSS ideology is close to Ambedkar’s ideology. In this direction RSS mouth pieces Organizer (English) and Panchjanya (Hindi) brought out special supplements on the occasion of anniversary of Ambedkar, praising him. This is very surprising as RSS is for Hindu nation while Ambedkar has pointed out that Hindu Raj will be the biggest calamity for dalits. The second debate is about Ambedkar-Gandhi. This came to forefront with Arundhati Roy’s introduction to Ambedkar’s ‘Annihilation of Caste’ published by Navayana. In her introduction ‘Doctor and the Saint’ Roy is critical of Gandhi’s various ideas. This digest brings together some of the essays and articles by various scholars-activists on the theme. Hope this will help us clarify the underlying issues.

  • Towards a Definition of 'Music'
    E:\M55\COURSES\musdef.fm 02-03-29 Towards a definition of ‘Music’ Taken from provisional course text ‘A Short Prehistory of Popular Music’ Philip Tagg, Institute of Popular Music, University of Liverpool, February-March 2002 What is ‘music’? ‘Music’: a culturally specific concept Although no society of which we have any knowledge has ever been without what we call music, the concept of music is by no means universal. Many cultures have no word equivalent to what we seem to mean by it. For example, the Tiv nation of West Africa and the Ewe of Togo and Eastern Ghana do not seem to have had much need to single out music as something needing a special word of its own any more than we Brits seem to be in need of three different words for the basic types of snow, each of which the Inuktitut language refines conceptually into several sub- categories.1 To be fair, it should be said that the Ewe do actually use the English word ‘music’, but only as an untranslated loan word to denote foreign phenomena like singing hymns or the sounds issuing from a cassette player or the radio. The music (in our sense of the word) they make themselves in traditional village life has no equivalent in the Ewe language. ‘Vù really means ‘drum’ and há is the word for club or association. A vù há is the club you belong to in the village. You could belong to a club with fast or slow drums, de- pending on your character and family.
