  • Devotional Music and Healing in Badakhshan, Tajikistan: Preventive and Curative Practices
    DEVOTIONAL MUSIC AND HEALING IN BADAKHSHAN, TAJIKISTAN: PREVENTIVE AND CURATIVE PRACTICES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Benjamin David Koen, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Margarita Mazo, Adviser Professor Daniel Avorgbedor ________________________ Adviser Professor Ron Emoff School of Music Copyright by Benjamin David Koen 2003 ABSTRACT The dissertation examines current practices of music and prayer in healing among the Pamiri people of Badakhshan, Tajikistan. Over the last decade, the field of ethnomusicology has become increasingly concerned with the role of music in healing. Simultaneously, clinical research into music and healing, as well as prayer and healing has dramatically increased. Yet, the link between music and prayer in healing has not been critically examined, either in ethnomusicology or health science. To approach the topic holistically, an interdisciplinary team of researchers was assembled in Badakhshan. Through an integrated methodology of traditional ethnomusicological techniques and physiological experiments, the dissertation investigates the phenomenon of music and prayer in healing in Tajik Badakhshan. By working with master musicians, traditional healers, local religious leaders and physicians, ethnographic and physiological data were collected that form the basis of the dissertation. In the Pamir Mountains of Tajikistan, the preeminent vocal and instrumental genre of devotional music is known as maddâh. It serves several cultural functions and provides an example of how music and prayer function as a unified whole in the ii context of traditional healing. Maddâh has been little researched in ethnomusicology, and its role in healing has not been explored in the literature.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ResearchArchive at Victoria University of Wellington From Tourist to Traveller: Discourses of Authenticity and Self- Transformation in Television Travel Genres By Kania Sugandi A thesis: Submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Media Studies Victoria University of Wellington June 2011 Acknowledgements This thesis was a journey, and its completion is heavily indebted to the support of my supervisors and my friends and family. Firstly I would like to express my utmost gratitude to my supervisors, Dr. Tony Schirato and Dr. Joost de Bruin, for their unwavering support, guidance and encouragement. Tony’s expertise and enthusiasm never fail to inspire me and reignite my passion for both this thesis and Media Studies in general. This thesis was borne out of an Honours paper taught by Joost and I thank him for urging me to pursue it, and for instilling in me a strong sense of responsibility, discipline, and organisation. I am also extremely appreciative of my friends, particularly those within the Media Studies postgraduate community. Their friendship has made the journey not only bearable, but also thoroughly entertaining. I thank them for sharing the ups and downs of a thesis and for all the welcomed distractions which have kept me sane. Thank you also to my friends outside of university, especially those whose interest in my research have not only sparked many fruitful discussions but also reminded me, again and again, of my passion for the project.
