For Prespa Albanians, both at home in Macedonia and in the
diaspora, the most opulent, extravagant, and socially significant
events of any year are wedding ceremonies. During days and weeks of
festivities, wedding celebrants interact largely through singing,
defining and renegotiating as they do so the very structure of
their social world and establishing a profound cultural touchstone
for Prespa communities around the world.
Combining photographs, song texts, and vibrant recordings of the
music with her own evocative descriptions, ethnomusicologist Jane
C. Sugarman focuses her account of Prespa weddings on notions of
gendered identity, demonstrating the capacity of singing to
generate and transform relations of power within Prespa society.
"Engendering Song" is an innovative theoretical work, with a
scholarly importance extending far beyond southeast European
studies. It offers unique and timely contributions to the analysis
of music and gender, music in diaspora cultures, and the social
constitution of self and subjectivity.
