The Politics of Navigation: Globalisation, Music andComposition
Angebote / Angebote:
The influence of globalisation on musical composition
has grown remarkably in recent years. This reflects
the wider impact of late 20th Century demographic and
technological shifts on culture. Great movements of
people followed the end of the cold war, with
migrants in their millions responding to the call of
more affluent nations for willing workers. The
industrialisation of many developing countries
similarly fuelled the movement of people, with ethnic
tensions following the withdrawal of colonial powers
displacing many others. The globalisation of
information, the 'internet' accompanied by widespread
exploitation of satellite communications technology,
has brought new images and sounds into our work and
dwelling places. These shifts have accelerated
the practices associated with musical globalisation,
causing new 'accented' cultures to develop,
absorbing, influencing, reflecting and refracting new
host milieux. These changes have impacted on musical
practices, destabilising core assumptions and
disturbing long established hierarchies. The present
volume explores these developing influences through a
consideration of extant works, experimental
composition and contingent analysis
