PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Fan Chung (Author) , Ron Graham (Author)
Singing the Classical, Voicing the Modern is a brilliant critique of the emergence of Karnatic music as a 'classical' art during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Situating her account within modernist and colonialist discourses of the authentic subject, Amanda J. Weidman explores a broad range of sources, from little-known early-twentieth-century Indian texts (in Tamil, Sanskrit, and Telugu) to contemporary studies in anthropology and musicology to feminist and media theory. --Katherine Bergeron, author of Decadent Enchantments: The Revival of Gregorian Chant at Solesmes Amanda J. Weidman brilliantly turns the tables on ideologies of voice in challenging us to envision music as constituting technologies for producing voices. Ethnomusicology, anthropology, postcolonial studies, and critical histories of technology all take a step forward as a genealogy of Indian 'classical' music engenders new insights into colonialism, nationalism, gender, traditionality, and modernity. --Charles L. Briggs, Professor of Anthropology, University of California, Berkeley
