Heritagization of Tamu music—from lived culture to heritage to be safe-guarded

At the same time, traditional Tamu music loses some of its social, religious and economic groundings. The main focus here is on one village, many inhabitants of which have moved to live in diaspora for economic survival. In addition, this article examin…

Nobody Should be Forced to Make a Living by Begging: Social Exclusion and Cultural Rights of Gāine/Gandharva Musicians of Nepal
Even though poverty is most often examined in terms of a lack of material wealth and health, a growing number of studies focus on its social and cultural aspects. Nyiwul Mabughi and Tarek Selim (2006) conclude their review of approaches to poverty by listing its multiple dimensions
Reflections on an Ethnomusicological Study of a Contemporary Western Art Music Composer
Editor's Note: In 2009, ethnomusicologist Pirkko Moisala published a book on the work of contemporary Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho (b.1952). In this short item, we invited Moisala to reflect on the process of writing a composer biography from the perspective of someone who has worked for many years in the field of ethnomusicology, reflections which were not possible to include in the book itself. Notes 1. For more on dialogic research methodol…

"Cognitive study of music as culture - basic premises for "cognitive ethnomusicology
Ethnomusicology has since Alan Merriam's The Anthropology of Music (1964) looked for culture relativistic methods to study music as culture. The reviewed literature of “cognitive ethnomusicology” investigates in various ways how people in different cultures conceptualize music and ‘think musically’. Ethnomusicological ideas are related to the main stream of cognitive music research, and the quest to combine culture‐bound models and generic proces…
The Wide Field of Finnish Ethnomusicology
It is easy to agree with many of the characteristics of Finnish ethnomusicology described above, even though each of us has our own personal view of the same phenomena. It is interesting to note, however, how different are our views of ethnomusicology as a discipline. Some regard EuroAmerican ethnomusicology and the European tradition of folk music research as separate domains, whereas to others ethnomusicology includes both of these. In addition…
