The study of 'Celtic' culture has been locked within modern
nationalist paradigms, shaped by contemporary media, tourism, and
labor migration. Celtic Modern collects critical essays on the
global circulation of Celtic music, and the place of music in the
construction of Celtic 'Imaginaries'. It provides detailed case
studies of the global dimensions of Celtic music in Scotland,
Wales, Ireland, Brittany, and amongst Diasporas in Canada, the
United States and Australia, with specific reference to pipe bands,
traditional music education in Edinburgh, the politics of
popular/traditional crossover in Ireland, and the Australian bush
band phenomenon. Contributors include performer musicians as well
as academic writers. Critique necessitates reflexivity, and all of
the contributors, active and in many cases professional musicians
as well as writers, reflect in their essays on their own
contributions to these kind of encounters. Thus, this resource
offers an opportunity to reflect critically on some of the
insistent 'othering' that has accompanied much cultural production
in and on the Celtic World, and that have prohibited serious
critical engagement with what are sometimes described as the
'traditional' and 'folk' music of Europe.
