Volume 6 will also include Dossier "Local Musicking"
The notion of local musicking has received attention in the field of ethnomusicology. In recent years, a series of initiatives (congresses, research projects, books, dossiers, etc.) has been carried out in order to develop this concept within the scope of the study of musical knowledge and practices. This expression unites the concept of "musicking" - as proposed by Christopher Small's - with the notion of locality, encompassing considerations of Arjun Appadurai and Ruth Finnegan. Musicking is used to refer to any form of engagement with music, including not only its formal aspects but also performances, discussions about music and sound, musical enjoyment, etc. Considering musicking as a local practice implies that musical activities are built locality and locals are musically built. This dossier seeks to gather contributions (articles, audio / visual essays, reviews, interviews, translations) that work with the notion of local musicking and its interfaces, discussing whether specific ethnographic cases from which this notion gains light or theoretical discussions on this concept.
