Seminar | Introduction to Music and Body: tradition and transgression in subject centered studies
19.10.2021 | 16:00-18:00 | NOVA FCSH | Room B 201
The gendered nature of music making has long been a central theme of Anglophone musical ethnography (Ethnomusicology). My reflections on this topic begin with fieldwork among Bulgarians who sing, play instrumental music, and dance in rural, village traditions and continue with a few examples and general questions that arise in the ethnomusicological literature. - Timothy Rice
