{"product_id":"sustainable-futures-for-music-cultures-an-ecological-perspective-9780190259082","title":"Sustainable Futures for Music Cultures: An Ecological Perspective","description":"The sustainability of music and other intangible expressions of culture has been high on the agenda of scholars, governments and NGOs in recent years. However, there is a striking lack of systematic research into what exactly affects sustainability across music cultures. By analyzing case\u003cbr\u003estudies of nine highly diverse music cultures against a single framework that identifies key factors in music sustainability, \u003cem\u003eSustainable Futures for Music Cultures\u003c\/em\u003e offers an understanding of both the challenges and the dynamics of music sustainability in the contemporary global environment, and\u003cbr\u003ebreathes new life into the previously discredited realm of comparative musicology, from an emphatically non-Eurocentric perspective. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSituated within the expanding field of applied ethnomusicology, this book confirms some commonly held beliefs, challenges others, and reveals sometimes surprising insights into the dynamics of music cultures. By examining, comparing and contrasting highly diverse contexts from thriving to 'in urgent\u003cbr\u003eneed of safeguarding, ' \u003cem\u003eSustainable Futures for Music Cultures\u003c\/em\u003e analyzes sustainability across five carefully defined domains. The book identifies pathways to strategies and tools that may empower communities to sustain and revitalize their music heritage on their terms. In this way, this book\u003cbr\u003econtributes to greater scholarly insight, new (sub)disciplinary approaches, and pathways to improved practical outcomes for the long-term sustainability of music cultures. As such it will be an essential resource for ethnomusicologists, as well as scholars and activists outside of music, with an\u003cbr\u003einterest in the preservation of intangible cultural heritage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Huib Schippers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190259082\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProfessor Huib Schippers has broad, hands-on experience of more than forty years in the practice and study of world music, ethnomusicology and music education.
