AWARD WINNER OF THE 2018 SOCIETY OF ETHNOMUSICLOGY ELLEN KOSKOFF
PRIZE This volume is the first sustained examination of the complex
perspectives that comprise ecomusicology-the study of the
intersections of music/sound, culture/society, and
nature/environment. Twenty-two authors provide a range of
theoretical, methodological, and empirical chapters representing
disciplines such as anthropology, biology, ecology, environmental
studies, ethnomusicology, history, literature, musicology,
performance studies, and psychology. They bring their specialized
training to bear on interdisciplinary topics, both individually and
in collaboration. Emerging from the whole is a view of
ecomusicology as a field, a place where many disciplines come
together. The topics addressed in this volume-contemporary
composers and traditional musics, acoustic ecology and politicized
soundscapes, material sustainability and environmental crisis,
familiar and unfamiliar sounds, local places and global warming,
birds and mice, hearing and listening, biomusic and soundscape
ecology, and more-engage with conversations in the various realms
of music study as well as in environmental studies and cultural
studies. As with any healthy ecosystem, the field of ecomusicology
is dynamic, but this edited collection provides a snapshot of it in
a formative period. Each chapter is short, designed to be
accessible to the nonspecialist, and includes extensive
bibliographies; some chapters also provide further materials on a
companion website: http://www.ecomusicology.info/cde/. An
introduction and interspersed editorial summaries help guide
readers through four current directions-ecological, fieldwork,
critical, and textual-in the field of ecomusicology.
