Introduction to Cultural Musicology: Premises, Processes, Practices

Summary/Abstract: Among the numerous musicological disciplines co-existing in the wide academic space, cultural musicology stands out with a particular iridescence. In accordance with their point of view, academic history and research interests, some scholars define it as an alternative to ethnomusicology, others – as a successor to the New musicology, and yet others see in cultural musicology the potential and capacity to become a base for all types of formal thinking and study of music. This article explores the context of the emergence of the discipline at the turn of the 21st century, focusing on a few pivotal moments in the transition of musicology to transdisciplinarity and its entry into the postmodern phase. The profile of cultural musicology is delineated in relation to, against, like, despite, with, beyond (ethno)musicology; among the discussed topics are concerns and perspectives of the discipline, as well as its scope, themes, methods and approaches. The text introduces the most active scholars working with the principles of cultural musicology today along with some of the foundational texts outlining the territory and ethos of the discipline.
