Current Directions in Ecomusicology: Music, Culture, Nature
Guitar Ethnographies: Performance, Technology and Material Culture
Entangled in global cultural flows, but also held in place locally, empowered and agential, musical instruments resonate with social significance. The guitar is, perhaps, the example par excellence, yet it has received little attention within ethnomusicology. This Introduction sets out the theoretical and methodological framework informing the four case studies of the guitar that follow, and provides a relevant literature review. Based largely on…
Arcadia Calling: Cretan Music and the Popular Imagination
In this article, I examine some of the ways in which the musical culture of Crete provides for a particular kind of encounter between islanders and off-islanders, centred on notions of paradise. For local patrtiots lyra music represents the sounds and images of an Arcadian New Minoa, for outsiders it is most often part of a fabricated and stereotypical tourist package. Paradise in this latter package deal, is largely represented by a parade of lo…
Symbolic and Social Transformation in the Lute Cultures of Crete: Music, Technology and the Body in a Mediterranean Society
This article considers the role of lute culture (specifically, the lyra) in a Mediterranean society. Cretan lute cultures have historical roots imagined and otherwise which entangle them completely in a local musical and social world. My research into Cretan musical instrument cultures among others have demanded not only a scholarly response to new questions but also the construction and application of a broad theoretical and analytical framework…
Lyres and the Body Politic: Studying Musical Instruments in the Cretan Musical Landscape
Focuses on the musical instrument that the people of Crete, Greece as the focus of intense musical creativity, negotiation and identity construction within contemporary Cretan society. Overview of a body of anthropological writing about Mediterranean societies; Means to retain a sense of a local identity; Nature and interaction of the forces that create, sustain and move instruments around

Vocal Music of Crete
People, Objects, Meaning: Recent Work on the Study and Collection of Musical Instruments
Minotaurs or musonauts? 'World Music' and Cretan Music
In a recent issue ofPopular Musicdevoted to the music of the Middle East, Martin Stokes and Ruth Davis note that 'the movement of Middle Eastern sounds into Western cultural spaces ... has largely been ignored' (1996, p. 255) and that 'Middle Eastern popular musics will probably continue to mark an unassimilable and unwelcome "otherness" for most Europeans and Americans' (ibid, p. 257). In this paper, written partly in response to these remarks, …
Bandleaders in Crete: Musicians and entrepreneurs in a Greek island economy
Being a “musician” evolves out of a wide range of factors and influences operating through a convergence of social, political and economic forces, which in turn are apprehended by local notions of history, ethnicity, identity and place. The meaning of music and what it means to be a musician is worked out of this nexus of social relations and life chances. A study of the working life of individual musicians in Cretan culture reveals the complexit…
The engenderedlyra: Music, poetry and manhood in Crete
The lyra-laouto ensemble is the most popular and enduring musical tradition in Crete. It is an almost exclusively male profession and pastime and as such embodies a complex synthesis of engendered values. Aspects of musical performance contradict the seemingly monolithic manhood ideals that inform it, revealing its role as a site of intense boundary negotiation
