<BR><BR>Series: SOAS Inaugural Lecture Series <BR><BR>Chair: Professor
Jonathan Stock, University of Sheffield <BR><BR>Professor Paul Webley,
Director and Principal of SOAS, will preside. <BR><BR>In his inaugural
lecture Professor Keith Howard will discuss the implications of the oral
qualities of musical communication <BR><BR>The academic discipline of
ethnomusicology gives central importance to fieldwork, to documentation
and – increasingly – to learning from expert teachers how to perform.
Ethnomusicologists promote, through rarely profitable recordings, books
and concerts, their take on the social and cultural distinctiveness of
specific world musics. Joining them, UNESCO, in its Intangible Cultural
Convention and ‘Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of
Mankind’, and along with member states from Korea to Japan and Yakutia to
Uzbekistan, now seeks both to preserve ‘traditional’ musics and to promote
them. Music is now marketed along with World Heritage Sites for domestic
and international tourism. Music has become an icon of identity.
<BR><BR><BR>In contrast, the established music industry, entangled with
issues of politics and control, promotes World Music. Critics argue that
World Music promotes a new aesthetic form of the global imagination by
packaging products in a homogeneous, flashy, but shallow way in order to
generate profits. Audiences listen, in their own homes, in concert halls
or at festivals, posing as audio tourists who no longer need to travel.
<BR><BR><BR>Worldwide, musicians make choices as they move between local
and global systems, as they travel the world to perform, reinforcing
soundworlds from the local or capitulating to the global. What, then, are
the potential futures for World Music and the academic discipline of
ethnomusicology? <BR><BR>The event will be followed by a reception.
