For a Relational Musicology: Music and Interdisciplinarity, Beyond the Practice Turn

Georgina Born · 1 Jan 2010

What would contemporary music scholarship look like if it was no longer imprinted with the disciplinary assumptions, boundaries and divisions inherited from the last century? This article proposes that a generative model for future music studies would take the form of a relational musicology. The model is drawn from the author's work; but signs of…
