Music On The Border And Conceptual Integration Theory: Analysis Of A Song From The South Of Serbia

Summary/Abstract: This paper analyses the famous folk song from the South of Serbia Zbog tebe mome ubava using the methodological apparatus of the Conceptual Blending/Integration Theory. The aim of such an analysis is twofold: on the one hand, we wish to consider the range of this highly influential theory in cognitive sciences and test the limits of its application on the authentic musical material from the territory of Southern Serbia; and on the other, we examine how relevant the construct of conceptual blending is for the phenomenon of the “music on the border”, where influences of several regions and cultures combine on various levels of musical structure. Our attention in this paper is drawn towards examples of conceptual blending at the metric, harmonic, and textual level. The conclusion is that the Conceptual Integration Theory can primarily offer an explanation of the semiotic phenomena that emerge during the process of listening to the music from this part of the world.
