Sonic Ruins of Modernity : Judeo-Spanish Folksongs Today, Paperback / softback Book

Sonic Ruins of Modernity : Judeo-Spanish Folksongs Today Paperback / softback

Part of the SOAS Studies in Music series

Paperback / softback

Description

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, the author illustrates a methodology for the interplay of individual memories, artistic initiatives, political and media policies, which 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 book overall provides a unique perspective on the history of the Judeo-Spanish folksong.
