Informationen zum Autor Timothy D. Taylor Klappentext "A bold and wide-ranging study, from a musical angle, of 'the West and the rest.' Timothy D. Taylor mingles insights from musicology, cultural and social history, and cultural theory to demonstrate the changing ways in which various streams of musical life, in Europe and America, have responded to the wider world. Rameau, Mozart, Ives, and Ravel here stand cheek by jowl with Bill Laswell, "bhangra," Hawaiian cowboy music, and TV ads, challenging--and reinvigorating--such easy labels as 'exotic' and 'multicultural.'"--Ralph P. Locke, Professor of Musicology, Eastman School of Music, University of Rochester Zusammenfassung Considers how western cultures' understandings of racial! ethnic! and cultural difference have been reflected in music from seventeenth-century operas to the scores of late-twentieth-century television advertisements! arguing that the commonly used term "exoticism" glosses over such differences in many studies of western music.
