Sociocultural crossings and Borders: Musical Microhistories (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

In the current global world the interaction between cultures penetrates into musical practices and discourses, radically affecting the sociocultural imagination and altering the established shapes of cultural territories. Yet the history of music demonstrates that the dynamics of cultural encounters and segregations has always been a key factor in the formation of individual and collective identities and in the understanding of other cultures. Cultural expansions and, conversely, the trajectories of displacement of cultural expression are to a varied extent affected by the political, economic, technological and other dimensions of dissemination of musical practices and traditions. In the modern age, the extramusical factors are of equal significance to textual (creation) and contextual (dissemination and reception) configurations of sociocultural interactions. The understanding of sociocultural interactions and borders plays an important role in the appropriation of the musical past and the revival of cultural memory.
