Made in Latin America serves as a comprehensive introduction to the history, sociology, and musicology of contemporary Latin American popular music. Each essay, written by a leading scholar of Latin American music, covers the major figures, styles, and social contexts of popular music in Latin America and provides adequate context so readers understand why the figure or genre under discussion is of lasting significance. The book first presents a general description of the history and background of popular music, followed by essays organized into thematic sections: Theoretical Issues; Transnational Scenes; Local and National Scenes; Class, Identity, and Politics; and Gendered Scenes.
O ideário da Itália acolhedora e alegre, do Mediterrâneo ensolarado e sensual, alastra-se mundialmente há séculos, fascinando o imaginário do cidadão comum. No Brasil, ele se estabeleceu com as tradições trazidas pelos imigrantes, fomentado pelo turismo e pela cultura do entretenimento. Componentes de natureza musical, aqui, têm papel predominante. Os exemplos das canções italianas, sejam elas de natureza popular-urbana ou mesmo a ópera, na mídia, revelam-se como elemento privilegiado de análise, que pode responder a questões de natureza diversa. Foi buscando esses fragmentos de imaginário, esboçados em música, que a pesquisa que deu origem a este livro se desenvolveu: mem...
This book provides a multifaceted view on the relation between the old and the new in music, between tradition and innovation. This is a much-debated issue, generating various ideas and theories, which rarely come to unanimous conclusions. Therefore, the book offers diverse perspectives on topics such as national identities, narrative strategies, the question of musical performance and musical meaning. Alongside themes of general interest, such as classical repertoire, the music of well-established composers and musical topics, the chapters of the book also touch on specific, but equally interesting subjects, like Brazilian traditions, Serbian and Romanian composers and the lullaby. While the book is mostly addressed to researchers, it can also be recommended to students in musicology, ethnomusicology, musical performance, and musical semiotics.
Music is said to be the most autonomous and least representative of all the arts. However, it reflects in many ways the realities around it and influences its social and cultural environments. Music is as much biology, gender, gesture - something intertextual, even transcendental. Musical signs can be studied throughout their history as well as musical semiotics with its own background. Composers from Chopin to Sibelius and authors from Nietzsche to Greimas and Barthes illustrate the avenues of this new discipline within semiotics and musicology.
A pesquisa no campo musical costuma se alicerçar em três conhecimentos basilares: estético, histórico e científico. Isso faz com que haja uma grande proximidade entre a prática musical e a reflexão teórica, visto que o conhecimento estético (interpretar e compor, por exemplo) está mais ligado à parte prática e técnica.Nesta obra, propomos um guia à iniciação científica em música, tendo em vista as principais diretrizes e metodologias, bem como as técnicas necessárias à pesquisa nessa área do conhecimento.
