(with Philip Bohlman) Editorial: Musics, Cultures, Identities (original) (raw)

The editorial emphasizes the pluralistic nature of musicology as showcased in the upcoming International Musicological Society conference in Rome, highlighting the importance of addressing the diversity of musics, cultures, and identities. It calls for a shift from traditional academic discourse to a postdisciplinary approach that encourages interdisciplinary collaboration and transformative representations of music that capture dynamic processes rather than static products. The editors urge colleagues to explore innovative forms of scholarship that reflect the complexities of musical labor and cultural exchange.
