Theorizing the Local: Music, Practice, and Experience in South Asia and Beyond
Richard K. Wolf
Theorizing the Local rethinks South Asian music in light of diverse regional practices. Using comparative microstudies to cross the traditional borders of scholarship on Nepal, India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and Iran, the book provides new footing for South Asia in the study of today's musical world. As a whole, it privileges "local" over "global" as an analytical concept, serving as a model for future ethnographic study across all regions.
