Media representation of ethical and social issues inherent in autonomous vehicle technology
Successful implementation of autonomous vehicle (AV) technology is not only an engineering challenge but also a social, political, and ethical one. As AVs become commonplace and begin affecting people’s daily lives in a more profound way, media coverage of the social and ethical considerations of these technologies will follow suit. We seek to analyze and categorize the media’s portrayal of the social and ethical issues surrounding AVs to better …
Moral and social ramifications of autonomous vehicles: A qualitative study of the perceptions of professional drivers
Artificial intelligence raises important social and ethical concerns, especially about accountability, autonomy, dignity, and justice. We focus on the specific concerns arising from how the emerging autonomous vehicle (AV) technology will affect professional drivers. We posit that we must engage with stakeholders to understand the implications of a technology that will affect the stakeholders’ lives, livelihoods, or wellbeing. We conducted nine i…

Hopi Kachina Dance Songs: Concepts and Context
De nombreux rites des amerindiens Hopi s'accompagnent de danses : certaines sont celebrees en secret dans des kivas ou chambres sousterraines, et d'autres comme la danse kachina sont celebrees en public. La danse kachina est pratiquee par les membres des societes secretes lors de ceremonies collectives, telle celle de Powamu en fevrier. L'A. decrit tres minutieusement les modalites de cette danse qui demande la participation de l'ensemble de la c…

Stability and Variation in a Hopi Lullaby
T he changing interests of scholars are reflected in the terms they employ. The word change, itself, is now a term in frequent use. In a recent issue of Ethnomusicology, the editor noted that all four articles in the issue were concerned with change (Rice 1983: v). Total and abrupt change in any aspect of culture is, of course, uncommon. Thus, change or variation must be discussed simultaneously with its obverse, continuity or stability. In this …

A Secular Sermon for Those of the Ethnomusicological Faith
The papers I have read at meetings of this Society in the past have dealt with very specific and highly technical problems. It seemed to me that this approach was inappropriate to such an august occasion,1 that something more philosophical in nature was indicated. When I began to think in this vein I realized that I was straying into the field of moral philosophy. In fact, my thoughts began to shape themselves into a form which one might describe…

Ethnomusicology: A Discipline Defined
comparative musicology, invented the new term ethno-musicology. In so doing he placed the prefix or combining term ethno in front of the word musicology to indicate that the study was of the music of the races of man (1950:7). However, his definition was restrictive in that the study of Western art and popular music was excluded. In a later redefinition of the term, he indicated that the study also included the sociological aspects of music (1959…
The Distribution of a Melodic Formula: Diffusion or Polygenesis
In various studies scholars have asserted that two or more melodies are similar. In many cases the scholar does not offer a method by which the reader can determine that the melodies offered are indeed alike; He merely places the melodies in juxtaposition and assumes that the reader will perceive, as the author apparently does, that they are similar. This is the procedure followed by George Pullen Jackson in his attempt to prove that Black spirit…

A Comparison of Certain Aspects of Colombian and Spanish Folksong
As an aspect of my research in Colombian folksong I examined a number of published Spanish sources in an attempt to find analogues for the texts and melodies of songs I had recorded in Colombia. By this means I hoped to determine that a particular text or melody had been diffused from Spain to Latin America. This proved feasible in the case of a small number of song texts but very difficult in the case of the melodies associated with these song t…
Music in the Americas
On the Non-Universality of Musical Perspectives
I was asked (probably because I was the first non-panel member to put in my oar) to provide a rebuttal to the ideas presented at the panel discussion Universal Perspectives of Music. Although I am firmly opposed to the position taken by McAllester I find myself equally firmly planted in the position taken by Wachsmann. Thus this is not really a rebuttal but merely a reinforcement of Wachsmann's position based on some of my experiences and observa…

The Boundaries of Speech and Song
A primary element in scientific investigation is the categorization or classification of the phenomena studied. We are concerned here with the development of a method of classification by which distinctions can be made between two forms of human sound communication, speech and song. This method should also make feasible the proper classification of any existing intermediate forms and should indicate their relations to each other and to speech and…

Speech Melody and Song Melody in Central Thailand
Thai or Siamese is a tone language. In a tone language the relative pitch at which a syllable is uttered or the inflection given to it may be phonemic, that is, may affect the meaning of the syllable. For example, the syllable kai may have one meaning if uttered at a relatively high pitch, another meaning if uttered at a relatively low pitch, and a third meaning if uttered with an obvious downward inflection

Ethnomusicology in Colombia
t has been traditional in Colombia that studies of ethnomusicology and folklore should be closely linked. This is exemplified in the titles of two Colombian institutions, the Centro de Estudios Folcl6ricos y Musicales (Universidad Nacional) and the Instituto Colombiano de Etnomusicologia y Folclore (Universidad de America), and in publications such as Emirto de Lima's Folklore Colombiano (Lima 1942) which is in large part devoted to discussions o…
Acculturation and Musical Tradition
The recent rapid development of the means of communication and the concomitant pervading influence of Western technology upon non-Western cultures has produced musical as well as economic and social change. The world's societies are now in flux and their musical traditions cannot but be affected. In this paper no attempt will be made to discuss in any depth the acculturative process as exhibited by any one culture. It is rather my purpose to surv…

Song in Hopi Culture, Past and Present 1
The Hopis are the westernmost of the Pueblo Indian tribes. Their reservation is located in an arid and rather isolated section of north-eastern Arizona. Here their villages are distributed among the southern spurs of the great Black Mesa, a tableland stretching many miles to the north. The eleven villages on the reservation form three clusters. Moving from east to west, these groups of villages are known as First Mesa, Second Mesa, and Third Mesa…
