Brings together both Australian and international work on
Indigenous music and dance, with chapters centred around practices
from Arnhem Land, Western Australia, the Tiwi Islands, the Torres
Strait, Taiwan, Aotearoa/New Zealand and North America, and
Indigenous scholars authoring or co-authoring more than half of the
book. Combines practice-led scholarship with research-informed
creative practice. Considers music and dance together as often
inseparable parts of performance practices, an approach achieved
through the interdisciplinarity of its contributing authors. Music,
Dance and the Archive interrogates historical access and responses
to archives by showing how Indigenous performing artists and
community members, and academic researchers (Indigenous and
non-Indigenous) are collaborating to bring life to objects that
have been stored in archives. It highlights the relationship
between music and dance, as embodied forms of culture, and records
in archives, bringing together interdisciplinary research from
musicologists, dance historians, linguists, Indigenous Studies
scholars and practitioners. The volume examines how music and dance
are recorded in audio-visual records, what uses are made of these
records (in renewal of cultural practice or in revitalising
performances that have fallen out of use), and the relationship
between the live body and historical objects. While this book
focuses on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander music and dance,
it also features research on Indigenous music and dance from beyond
Australia, including New Zealand, Taiwan and North America. Music,
Dance and the Archive is an insightful culmination of original,
previously unpublished research from a diverse selection of
scholars in Indigenous history, musicology, linguistics, archival
science and dance history.
