Migrating Music considers the issues around music and
cosmopolitanism in new ways. Whilst much of the existing literature
on world music' questions the apparently world-disclosing nature of
this genre -- but says relatively little about migration and
mobility -- diaspora studies have much to say about the latter, yet
little about the significance of music. In this context, this book
affirms the centrality of music as a mode of translation and
cosmopolitan mediation, whilst also pointing out the complexity of
the processes at stake within it. Migrating music, it argues,
represents perhaps the most salient mode of performance of
otherness to mutual others, and as such its significance in
socio-cultural change rivals -- and even exceeds -- literature,
film, and other language and image-based cultural forms. This book
will serve as a valuable reference tool for undergraduate and
postgraduate students with research interests in cultural studies,
sociology of culture, music, globalization, migration, and human
geography.
