Cultural Sustainabilities: Music, Media, Language, Advocacy
This collection of essays is driven by the proposition that environmental and cultural sustainability are inextricably linked. The authors are unified by the influence of the pioneering work of Jeff Todd Titon in developing broadly ecological approaches to folklore, ethnomusicology, and sustainability. These approaches lead to advocacy and activism. Building on and responding to Titon's work, the authors call for profoundly integrated efforts to …

Auditory Snapshots From the Edges of Europe
This article presents thirty ‘auditory snapshots’ from a wide variety of geographical locations and contexts in order to elaborate several points. First, we believe that the study of history cannot be separated from the study of sound, whether in the form of ‘soundscapes’ or pieces of music. Second, we find that considerations of edges, into which we fold such things as provinces, peripheries and frontiers, can be greatly enriched by looking at a…
Three Case Studies
In this chapter we ask how changing technologies of communication and information dissemination reshape our understanding of fieldwork in theory and practice. As Timothy Rice reminds us in this volume, the “field” in which we work is a metaphor. There is no “there” to which we must go. Maybe some of our metaphorical fieldwork is better done at home in front of our computers, watching a television program, listening to a radio broadcast, and so fo…
Shadows in the field: New Perspectives for Fieldwork in Ethnomusicology
The contributors consider fieldwork as an issue-laden practice rather than as a methodology requiring a prescriptive manual, challenging the very notion of fieldwork, its goals and its place in historical studies

Theorizing fieldwork impact: Malinowski, peasant-love and friendship
In this introductory essay I toggle between my own fieldwork experiences and the historical legacies that I encounter in the field, especially that of Malinowski, who in his youth was a frequent visitor to the Polish mountain region that I study nearly a century later. I propose that Malinowski was influenced by a Slavic "peasant-love" model of ethnography that shares much with the more current "friendship" model. Though I believe friendship mode…

Repulsion to Ritual: Interpreting Folk Festivals in the Polish Tatras
Folklore festivals and other presentations of folk music for tourists are frequently interpreted as pale representations of “real” folk music at best, and commercial corruptions at worst. The author at least has been guilty of such interpretations. In this article, he interprets folklore festivals in southern Poland as highly meaningful calendric rituals necessary for the survival of certain ways of life. Folklore festivals replace, sometimes qui…

Casting Shadows in the Field: An Introduction
Music’s ephemeral nature predisposes ethnomusicologists to embrace multiple realities. As Levi-Strauss suggests, “music ... bring[s] man face to face with potential objects of which only the shadows are actualized” (1969:17-18). Ethnomusicologists often feel as if they are chasing shadows in the field when striving to perceive and understand musical meaning. Musical meaning is often ambiguous or liminal, inviting ethnomusicologists into a dialogu…
