Challenge Questions


Discuss ways in which ethnomusicology is identified with Western music and Western music scholarship.  Do these connections fundamentally subvert attempts to understand other music cultures?  On the other hand, do they complicate attempts to look inward at Western music from a sociological perspective?


What non-music disciplines have contributed to the development of modern-day ethnomusicology?  Would there be any advantages to placing the study of ethnomusicology in a non-music university department?
