A Thrice-experienced Clubnight: Three Ethnographic Readings of a Club Night in Ankali, Prague, 7 June 2024
Impediment-, Absence-, and Silence-Based Methodology and the Study of Romani and Sinti Musicians in North Slovenia
The author's research on Romani and Sinti musicians from north Slovenia has revealed several methodological obstacles. The author dealt mainly with deceased Romani and Sinti musicians, their absence from the archives, silence among their descendants, and anecdotal information. This paper therefore addresses methodological approaches to fragmented data, and the silence, absence, and distortion in the archival and ethnographic sources, exploring ho…
Social Life of Zines and Other DIY Micro-Media Constituting American DIY Communities and Scenes
The primary function of zines is often considered to be creative and expressive, and the function of other types of DIY ("do-it-yourself") micro-media as utilitarian (e.g., flyers as promotion), but all of these media also perform important social roles. DIY micro-media (e.g., zines, flyers, Internet pages, graffiti, wall signs, and "thank you" notes) are in this way embroiled in social lives of their makers and help them constitute themselves cu…
Ethnography in Western Popular Music Research Revisited: A Case Study and/as a Critique
In this article, I focus on ethnomusicological and popular music studies’ examinations of Western popular music cultures, and provide a critique of some of their methods. Further, my main aim is not to propose a new method, but to suggest a re-emphasis of some of the fundamental ethnographic approaches in studying Western popular music cultures. These include participatory observation, grounded ethnography, materialism, thick description, and cul…

Maria Sonevytsky, Wild Music: Sound and Sovereignty in Ukraine
A review of the book by Maria Sonevytsky
Notions of intimate publicness and the American do-it-yourself music spaces
I examine in this article how American “do-it-yourself” communities are established socio-spatially both as oppositional and subversive social spaces and scenes and as emerging alternative and autonomous worlds that challenge and transcend the effects and implications of the normative private–public distinction in the United States. I specifically analyze how these do-it-yourself spheres are organized around particular spatial discourses and spat…
