Sonic Ruins Of Modernity (Soas Studies In Music)

Sonic Ruins of Modernity shows how social, cultural, and cognitive phenomena interact in the making and distribution of folksongs beyond their time. Through Judeo-Spanish (or Ladino) folksongs, author illustrates a methodology for the interplay of individual memories, artistic initiatives, political and media policies, that ultimately shape "tradition" for the past century. He fleshes out in a series of case studies how folksongs can be conceived, performed, and circulated in the post-tradition era - constituting each song as a "sonic ruin," as an imagined place. At the same time, the chapters provide a unique perspective on the history of the Judeo-Spanish folksong.
