This volume brings together for the first time book chapters,
articles and position pieces from the debates on music and
identity, which seek to answer classic questions such as: how has
music shaped the ways in which we understand our identities and
those of others? In what ways has scholarly writing about music
dealt with identity politics since the Second World War? Both
classic and more recent contributions are included, as well as
material on related issues such as music's role as a resource in
making and performing identities and music scholarship's ambivalent
relationship with scholarly activism and identity politics. The
essays approach the music-identity relationship from a wide range
of methodological perspectives, ranging from critical
historiography and archival studies, psychoanalysis, gender and
sexuality studies, to ethnography and anthropology, and social and
cultural theories drawn from sociology; and from continental
philosophy and Marxist theories of class to a range of
globalization theories. The collection draws on the work of
Anglophone scholars from all over the globe, and deals with a wide
range of musics and cultures, from the Americas, Australasia,
Europe, the Middle East and Africa. This unique collection of key
texts, which deal not just with questions of gender, sexuality and
race, but also with other socially-mediated identities such as
social class, disability, national identity and accounts and
analyses of inter-group encounters, is an invaluable resource for
music scholars and researchers and those working in any discipline
that deals with identity or identity politics.
