This volume celebrates the significant resurgence of interest in
the anthropology of music and dance in recent decades. Traversing a
range of fascinating topics,from the reassessment of historical
figures such as Katherine Dunham and John Blacking, to the
contemporary salience of sonic conflict between Islamic Uyghur and
the Han Chinese, the essays within Music, Dance, Anthropology make
a strong argument for the continued importance of the work of
ethnomusicologists and ethnochoreologists, and of their ongoing
recourse to anthropological theories and practices. Case studies
are offered from areas as diverse as Central Africa,Ireland,
Greece, Uganda and Central Asia, and illuminate core
anthropological concepts such as the nature of embodied knowledge,
the role of citizenship, ritual practices, and the construction of
individual and group identities via a range of ethnographic
methodologies. These include the consideration of soundscapes, the
use of ethnographic filmmaking, and a reflection on the importance
of close cultural engagement over many years. Taken together these
contributions show the study of music and dance practices to be
essential to any rounded study of social activity, in whatever
context it is found. For as this volume consistently demonstrates,
the performance of music and dance is always about more than just
the performance of music and dance. Contributors: John Baily; Peter
Cooke; Ann R. David; Catherine E. Foley; Andree Grau; Rachel
Harris; Maria Koutsouba; Jerome Lewis; Barley Norton; Carole Pegg;
Martin Stokes.
