Description

Abstract:
On the basis of the research project Resonant Society (1989-1992) the author invites a discussion of principles and standards applicable to applied (ethno) musicology. How does the call for engagement, empathy, criticism and follow-up on the part of the researcher hold up against calls for impartiality, objectivity, and value-neutrality? The presentation suggests possible points of reference with the new “critical musicology.”
