Anthropology of Music

We are a working group of cultural anthropologists who engage in and promote the anthropological stu

Our goal is to render the study of sonic phenomena an established anthropological field, much like "ethnomusicology" is within musicology. To this aim, we try to bring forward and institutionalize the anthropological study of music and sound by

- doing and furthering research worldwide on whatever you can hear,

- teaching classes on music and anthropologies of music and sound in BA and MA progra

ms,

- organizing academic events like lectures and conferences (most prominently a biennial "Anthropology of Music Lecture Series and Master Class"),

- organizing public events like discussions or lecture-concerts. We are interested in all kinds of music and sound from around the world. Being part of the of the Department for Anthropology and African Studies (ifeas) at JGU, however, we share a special interest in African music. With a unique collection of African popular music, the "African Music Archives" (AMA), also situated at the ifeas, is the most prominent expression of this general orientation.
