Revisiting the Heritagization of Arab Music in Postcolonial Cairo
This article revisits and expands on my previous research on the entanglement of state power, nationalist ideology, lingering coloniality, and heritage production in Arab music in postcolonial Cairo since the late 1960s. 1 It takes into consideration the intersection of politics and elite class positionality with Arab music heritage, an “absent presence” in my previous research and in much of the literature on heritage. 2 I argue that the heritag…
Interrogating "Access to Waxes" – Introductory Remarks on the Collections from the Arab World of the Berlin Phonogramm-Archiv
This paper contextualizes the “Access to Waxes” workshop and publications within the broader context of the ongoing debates in ethnomusicology and related disciplines about the ethics and politics of historical sound recordings, archives, acoustic memory, cultural rights, intellectual property, musical repatriation, and access. Selected initiatives on the topic spearheaded by the two major scholarly societies focusing on the transdisciplinary stu…
The Fado Museum
This article explores Lisbon’s Fado Museum as an affective, material, symbolic, and performative site of memory in which different audiences such as tourists and the local fado community converge, without necessarily intersecting. We argue that the Fado Museum has evolved from a mere exhibiting space to become a multivalent “heritage infrastructure” that facilitates new spaces of agency in which novel forms of relating to —and dwelling in— herita…
O Museu do Fado
Este artigo aborda o Museu do Fado, situado em Lisboa, como um espaço mobilizador de imaginários turísticos e de memórias afetivas, simbólicas e performativas no qual convergem, sem necessariamente se cruzarem, diferentes públicos como os turistas, aficionados de fado e a comunidade fadista local. Argumentamos que o Museu do Fado evoluiu de um mero espaço expositivo para se tornar numa “infra-estrutura patrimonial” multivalente que facilita novos…

Celtic Music Festivals in Portugal
This article addresses the interceltic festivals of Porto (1986–2008) and Sendim in Terra de Miranda (since 2000), situated in northwestern and northeastern Portugal, respectively, from the perspective of European heritage festivals. It examines how these two festivals were used to promote tourism, urban regeneration, rural development, image-making, and place branding. We argue that the interceltic festivals of Porto and Sendim are entangled wit…

A folclorização é um fenómeno cultural da modernidade. Operando com as noções de folclorismo e de folclorização, a presente obra pretende equacionar os parâmetros de um processo que conduziu à mobilização e integração das populações rurais na nação. Este efeito integrador estender-se-ia também à diáspora lusa. Uma perspectiva múltipla presidiu à organização do volume: abordar o folclore como cultura expressiva, avaliar o seu papel na sociedade e …
