Description

Music as a mode of translation and cosmopolitan mediation is at the heart of this thought-provoking book. It explores how music reflects and shapes our understanding of other cultures, particularly in the context of migration and mobility. By examining the significance of music in socio-cultural change, the authors argue that it plays a vital role in performance of otherness to mutual others. This book is an essential resource for students researching cultural studies, sociology of culture, music, globalization, migration, and human geography. It offers a valuable perspective on the complex processes at stake within music, making it a useful tool for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of these topics. By shedding new light on the role of music in shaping our globalised world, Migrating Music provides a unique insight into the ways in which cultural exchange and migration intersect.
