"From the West to the Rest?" World Music v transformačním procesu
- Goethe University Frankfurt, Theodor-W.-Adorno-Platz 1, 60323 Frankfurt am Main, Germany
"Melodies, styles, new sounds drifting through the world without respect for borders and act on anyone who hears them, whether they like it or not." (Susanne Binas-Preisendörfer: Klänge im Zeitalter ihrer medialen Verfügbarkeit, Bielefeld: Transcript, 2010, 16.). V současném postmoderním a globalizovaném světě lze prostřednictvím internetu či rádia bez nejmenší námahy kdekoliv poslouchat rozmanité směry hudby celého světa. Vedou ale tyto technicko-kulturní fenomény ke kulturnímu mainstreamu (západního typu)? Studie zkoumá, jakým způsobem se proměňuje "world music" v podmínkách globalizovaného světa.
Keywords: Kulturní imperialismus, globalizace, globální pop, "world music"
"From the West to the Rest?" World Music in Transition
"Melodies, styles, new sounds drifting through the world without respect for borders and act on anyone who hears them, whether they like it or not." (Susanne Binas-Preisendörfer: Klänge im Zeitalter ihrer medialen Verfügbarkeit, Bielefeld: Transcript, 2010, 16.). In today's postmodern and globalized world, it is effortless to listen to any kind of music around the world from any place via internet or radio for example. But does this techno-cultural phenomena automatically lead to a cultural (and often called westernized) mainstream?
This essay examines how world music is changing under the conditions of a globalized world.
Keywords: Cultural imperialism, globalization, global pop, world music
