  • Good Talk and an Aesthetics of Good Sounding in Madagascar

    Ron EmoffARTICLETDR/The Drama Review2018

    Over the past decades it has become less acceptable simply to acquire new musical knowledge and to present it judiciously, wisely, and authoritatively.

  • Direct-Current Recall in Madagascar

    Ron EmoffARTICLETDR/The Drama Review2003

    In Madagascar, a mandôlina is a popular stringed musical instrument in the shape of a portable radio-cassette player.
