OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHRISTIAN ETHNODOXOLOGISTS / ETHNOMUSICOLOGISTS TO TEACH

There is a new place, since Dec. 2003, to advertise for "teachers needed."
This is on the website of the International Council of Ethnodoxologists,
found at www.worldofworship.org

We have a section called "Opportunities" which includes opportunities for
teaching, interning and performing. This section is located in the
members-only area so you can't access it directly unless you join, but I
can post announcements on behalf of others.

Hello,

You are invited to join a new listserv dedicated to the sharing and dissemination of information on and about applied Ethnomusicology. At SEM Detroit we discussed the need such a forum to discuss theory, method, and prctice. Now that applied ethnomusicology is an official section of SEM, we are opening up this listserv to anyone within SEM who is interested in the
subject.

The name of the group is appliedethno group at Yahoo! Groups. Please take a moment to review this message.

To subscribe and join the listserv go to:
appliedethno-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

To start sending messages to members of this group, simply

If you do not wish to belong to appliedethno, you may
simply disregard this e-mail.

In the next few weeks, as the membership develops (it is
currently at 16) we will begin the process of introducing one another, defining what applied ethnomusicology is, and discussing what directions we might consider taking. We look forward to some spirited discussions. We hope you will join
us.

Best Regards,

"....Ethnomusicology is a relatively new field in the social sciences. It is a division of both Anthropology and Musicology. In loose terms, Ethnomusicology is the academic study of musical cultures. Anthropology is the study of human culture, and Musicology is the study of music itself. Combine the two, and the result could also be called "Musical Anthropology."

A more precise definition is presented in the New Harvard Dictionary of Music, as "a subdivision of musicology concerned primarily with the comparitive study of musics of the world, music as an aspect of culture, and the music of oral tradition" (p. 291). This can include non-Western music, traditional and folk music, and even contemporary popular music studied from a cultural perspective. The study of a particular kind of music involves field research commonly used in Anthropology, that is, going out and experiencing the music *and* culture firsthand...."
