Presentation of Dr. Turino's work in Zimbabwe

Join us for a presentation of Dr. Turinos’ work in Zimbabwe for Ethnomusicology/Musicology & African and African American Studies students/faculty.

 

Thomas Turino is Professor Emeritus of musicology and anthropology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He is the author of two books about music in Peru, a book about Nationalism, Cosmopolitanism, and Popular Music in Zimbabwe, editor of Identity and the Arts in Diaspora Communities, and most recently Music as Social Life: The Politics of Participation. Dr. Turino’s discussion will center on analytical approaches to specific instances of experience and the series of powerful conceptual tools Peircean theory provides for ethnomusicologists and scholars in other ethnographic disciplines.
