Talk:Ethnomusicology

message: (For lack of a better heading?)
Generally, do not copy and paste long sections from other sources (e.g., term papers or blog posts) into this article without taking the time to fit the section into the article in an appropriate way - synthesized, summarized, and copy edited. The article has become strangely proportioned. For example, a paragraph devoted to Said's Orientalism (entirely appropriate for the page devoted to that topic and book) with no connection to ethnomusicology is not appropriate.

message: The further reading section should reflect items that speak to the field of ethnomusicology in general, its scope, methods, development, and major trends. Specific works or articles that illustrate significant theoretical insertions or developments in the field would also be appropriate, but the following do not. Therefore I removed the two below citations and added Merriam 1964. Further citations should be added as well.
Removed citations:
* Cooley, Timothy J. Making Music in the Polish Tatras: Tourists, Ethnographers, and Mountain Musicians. Indiana University Press, 2005 (Hardcover with CD).  
* Czekanowska, Anna. Polish Folk Music: Slavonic Heritage - Polish Tradition - Contemporary Trends. Cambridge Studies in Ethnomusicology, Reissue 2006 (Paperback). 
These would be excellent for an article or reading list on East European slavic music, but not a general article.

thread_title: Update Further Reading section

message: "People who have done well known ethnomusicological work have sometimes been previously trained as anthropologists studying many other aspects of a society as well as their music. "
I changed this a little bit to make it more fluid. Nothing drastic; just caught my eye. I'd like to contribute a lot more to this article when I have more time.
Also, the link to the young ethnomusicologist is broken. Should it be removed?--JEMathews 21:27, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Minor edit 

message: Potentially also include brief description of regional traditions and major studies covering world areas. This may not fit current trends, but it does reflect an important period of the field. Morskyjezek (talk) 03:45, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Possible expansions

message: About the paragraph on notable centers of the study of ethnomusicology: How is this list being composed? As I am currently studying ethnomusicology at UC Santa Cruz, I was at first happy to see so many UC's on the list and then dissapointed to find out UCSC was not on that list. It doesn't surprise me, per se, but I would like to know how the list is being composed. Erich Blume 04:17, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

message: The result was: No merger at this time. I will add the references. Let's hope that someone expands the article. --B. Wolterding 10:14, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: In the  section, the second and longer paragraph needs a rewrite.
Problems I see:
# It distinguishes between "objective" and "subjective" approaches, which it supports, oddly, by statements about scholars who distinguish between "analytic" and "synthetic" approaches.  These are two distinct dichotomies and the present paragraph can only confuse readers.
# The definition and opposition of analytical and synthetic methods does not originate, as the present paragraph might seem to imply, with Herndon, but is fundamental to logic studies dating back to the Ancient Greeks.
# Possible undue weight.  Although I'm sure the debate between Mieczyslaw Kolinski and Marcia Herndon makes fascinating reading, the fact that both wikilinked names remain redlinks suggests
#* that the opinions of other, better-known experts might carry more weight, or
#* that the problems they address are of relatively minor importance in the discipline, or
#* that both the above are true.  (I don't know enough to say which, if any, of these possibilities applies.)
# Possibly incomplete.  Surely the discipline is old enough to have created other disputes about which methods of analysis are appropriate?
