Summary

What are the new directions in ethnomusicological fieldwork? Willfieldwork continue as an integral part of ethnomusicological theory and method?This is the first book by ethnomusicologists to consider fieldwork as anissue-laden practice, rather than as a methodology requiring a prescriptivemanual. The volume's contributors challenge the very notion of fieldwork: itsgoals, the nature of knowledge gained, and the place of fieldwork in historicalstudies. Designed to encourage dialogue between ethnomusicology, anthropology,and other fields that involve fieldwork, it highlights the unique ways in whichethnographic fieldwork can contribute to transcultural understanding.
