Produktbeschreibung
This book shares essential insights into how indigenous music has been inherited and preserved under the influence of the dominant mainstream culture in Asia and Europe. It illustrates possible ways of handing down indigenous music in countries and regions with different levels of acceptance toward indigeneity, including Taiwan, the Philippines, Malaysia, Turkey, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, the Near and Middle East, Caucasus Mountains, etc. Given its focus, the book benefits researchers who are interested in the status quo of indigenous music around the globe. The macro- and micro-perspectives used to explore related issues, problems, and concerns also benefit those interested in regional ethnomusicology.
Autorenporträt
Yu-hsiu Lu, an ethnomusicologist, is among the leading researchers in the field of indigenous music in Taiwan. She is the editor of the indigenous music section in the Encyclopedia of Taiwan Music, a curator of indigenous performances, and a publisher of indigenous music CDs and monographs. In addition, she has recently expanded her research focus to include minority music in Southwest China. She also specializes in the iconography of music. Oskar Elschek, an ethnomusicologist, has done much to influence the course of ethnomusicological research in Eastern Europe, and in connection with the political and ideological transformations of 1989-91, his efforts were of singular importance in the rapprochement between scholarly communities in Western and Eastern Europe. His primary contributions have been to the study of folk music in Slovakia, the Carpathians, and the Pannonian Basin of East-Central Europe; to instrumental folk music; and to the emergence of systematic musicology as an international field of research. In addition to his extensive publications, he has produced numerous documentary films, ethnographic videos, and audio recordings. He has focused considerable attention on the history of European folk music scholarship and ethnomusicology, and his monographs on the theories and methods of modern systematic scholarship have since become standard works. In 1997, Elschek received the Herder Prize for his lifetime contributions to ethnomusicology.
