This collection of original essays is in tribute to the work of
Derek Scott on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday. As one of the
leading lights in Critical Musicology, Scott has helped shape the
epistemological direction for music research since the late 1980s.
There is no doubt that the path taken by the critical musicologist
has been a tricky one, leading to new conceptions, interactions,
and heated debates during the past two decades. Changes in
musicology during the closing decades of the twentieth century
prompted the establishment of new sets of theoretical methods that
probed at the social and cultural relevance of music, as much as
its self-referentiality. All the scholars contributing to this book
have played a role in the general paradigmatic shift that ensued in
the wake of Kerman's call for change in the 1980s. Setting out to
address a range of approaches to theorizing music and promulgating
modes of analysis across a wide range of repertories, the essays in
this collection can be read as a coming of age of critical
musicology through its active dialogue with other disciplines such
as sociology, feminism, ethnomusicology, history, anthropology,
philosophy, cultural studies, aesthetics, media studies, film music
studies, and gender studies. The volume provides music researchers
and graduate students with an up-to-date authoritative reference to
all matters dealing with the state of critical musicology today.
