Ethnomusicology not only focuses on people who make music in a wide variety of cultural and social contexts, but also on the question of the meaning of music in different cultures. This introductory guide provides a basic insight into the development of this field, current research foci, methods, theoretical concepts, and internal and external fields of professional activity. Through the didactic preparation of central topics, the book is aimed at teachers, students and all others interested in this subject, who are given here an overarching insight into topics such as music and globalisation, postcolonialism, and methods of applied and collaborative work.
