Extract

In 2000, I wrote an article for this journal in response to an ICTM colloquium held at Visby in 1999 about issues of musical “multiculturalism” (Slobin 2000). The idea was to test out our terminology in the light of social and musical changes. By 2006, things had changed when I co-hosted another ICTM colloquium, at Wesleyan University, on “emerging musical identities” from the transatlantic perspective, in Europe and North America. The present article scans some of the thoughts from that conference, then moves out to their implications by using the event as a mental trampoline. To carry through the metaphor, one crashes back onto the elastic surface before making another try at getting airborne, but at least one gets a good view in the process. In the following, I cite participants' remarks and relevant writings of 2006 by other authors to keep a precise “ethnographic present.”
