The 2021 volume of the benchmark bibliography of Latin American Studies.
Indigenous and Minority Populations
The sections and chapters contained in this book deal with issues and challenges facing indigenous and minority populations located in several geographical areas of the world. The papers are written by writers and scholars from various parts of the world and, like any piece of literature on indigenous and minority populations, the topics are diverse. The perspectives are both interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary. The issues examined in the various chapters cover areas pertaining to their human rights, preservation of their culture and identity, traditional knowledge, and their challenges, but also scholarly and epistemological approaches to understanding and articulating such topics in a...
The Routledge Companion to Applied Musicology
The Routledge Companion to Applied Musicology brings together academics, artist-researchers, and practitioners to provide readers with an extensive and authoritative overview of applied musicology. Once a field that addressed music’s socio-political or performative contexts, applied musicology today encompasses study and practice in areas as diverse as psychology, ecomusicology, organology, forensic musicology, music therapy, health and well-being, and other public-oriented musicologies. These rapid advances have created a fast-changing field whose scholarship and activities tend to take place in isolation from each other. This volume addresses that shortcoming, bringing together a wide-ranging survey of current approaches. Featuring 39 authors, The Routledge Companion to Applied Musicology falls into five parts—Defining and Theorising Applied Musicology; Public Engagement; New Approaches and Research Methods; Representation and Inclusion; and Musicology in/for Performance—that chronicle the subject’s rich history and consider the connections that will characterise its future. The book offers an essential resource for anyone exploring applied musicology.
Embodying Mexico
Exploring the role of performance in tourist and nationalist contexts, Embodying Mexico analyzes the making of icons in twentieth-century Mexico, as local dance, music, and ritual practices are transformed into national and global spectacles. Drawing on extensive ethnographic, archival, and participatory experience this interdisciplinary study makes an important contribution to an understanding of Mexican cultural politics.
Music in Latin America and the Caribbean: An Encyclopedic History
The music of the peoples of South and Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean has never received a comprehensive treatment in English until this multi-volume work. Taking a sociocultural and human-centered approach, Music in Latin America and the Caribbean gathers the best scholarship from writers all over the world to cover in depth the musical legacies of indigenous peoples, creoles, African descendants, Iberian colonizers, and other immigrant groups that met and mixed in the New World. Within a history marked by cultural encounters and dislocations, music emerges as the powerful tool that negotiates identities, enacts resistance, performs belief, and challenges received aesthetics. Thi...
Inca Music Reimagined
The Latin American centennial celebrations of independence (ca.1909-1925) constituted a key moment in the consolidation of national symbols and emblems, while also producing a renewed focus on transnational affinities that generated a series of discourses about continental unity. At the same time, a boom in archaeological explorations, within a general climate of scientific positivism provided Latin Americans with new information about their grandiose former civilizations, such as the Inca and the Aztec, which some argued were comparable to ancient Greek and Egyptian cultures. These discourses were at first political, before transitioning to the cultural sphere. As a result, artists and part...
Music and Postwar Transitions in the 19th and 20th Centuries
"Music and Postwar Transitions in the 19th and 20th Centuries is the first book to highlight the significance of the idea of 'postwar transition' in the field of music and to demonstrate how the contribution of musicians, composers, and their publics have influenced contemporary understandings of war. At the intersection of four domains including: the relationship between music and war culture, commemorative and consolatory dimensions of music, migration and exile, and the links between music, cultural diplomacy, and propaganda, leading historians, political scientists, psychologists, and musicologists explore disruptions and connections to music through the backdrop of war. In turn, this volume sheds new light on what has been a blind spot in a growing historiography"--
Microhistorias de los zoques bajo el volcán.
Este libro ofrece una minuciosa mirada histórica y etnográfica sobre las experiencias diversas que tuvieron los habitantes de la zona devastada por el volcán El Chichonal –en su mayoría de origen zoque del noroeste de Chiapas– frente a su erupción en 1982. Las microhistorias, en tanto reducción a escala para el estudio de los impactos del fenómeno natural, muestran las múltiples formas en las que las personas lo vivieron y la respuesta social habida en lo inmediato y a largo plazo. La obra tiene la virtud de poner de relieve el carácter heterogéneo de los damnificados en tanto sujetos con agencia, es decir, sujetos diversos que actuaron inconsciente o conscientemente bajo decisiones colectivas o individuales para sobrevivir a la adversidad y construir su devenir
Música, alteridad y riesgo
Música, alteridad y riesgo. Etnografía en contextos críticos pone en evidencia y analiza los riesgos que comporta el trabajo de campo según los distintos contextos en que se realiza, muchas veces frente a la crudeza de una realidad que sorprende, perturba y asombra. Se trata de cuatro reflexiones que pretenden comprender, con diferentes enfoques, la experiencia antropológica de frente a las otredades, como por ejemplo la sumisión prevaleciente entre grupos sociales con visos coloniales; los tabúes en torno a labor de la mujer antropóloga; los lugares donde la violencia es la lucha diaria por la vida misma y el allanamiento del narco en la industria de la producción musical. En esta ...
