Revival movements aim to revitalize traditions perceived as
threatened or moribund by adapting them to new temporal, spatial, and
social contexts. While many of these movements have been well-documented
in Western Europe and North America,those occurring and recurring
elsewhere in the world have received little or no attention.
Particularly under-analyzed are the aftermaths of revivals: the new
infrastructures, musical styles, performance practices, subcultural
communities, and value systems that grow out of these movements.
The
Oxford Handbook of Music Revival fills this gap, and helps us achieve a
deeper understanding of how and why musical pasts are reimagined and
transfigured in modern-day postindustrial, postcolonial, and postwar
contexts. The book's thirty chapters present innovative theoretical
perspectives illustrated through new ethnographic case studies on
diverse music and dance cultures around the world. Together these essays
reveal the potency of acts of revival, resurgence, restoration, and
renewal in shaping musical landscapes and transforming social
experience. The book makes a powerful argument for the untapped
potential of revival as a productive analytical tool in contemporary,
global contexts. With its detailed treatment of authenticity,
recontextualization, transmission, institutionalization, globalization,
the significance of history, and other key concerns, the collection
engages with critical issues far beyond the field of revival studies and
is crucial for understanding
contemporary manifestations of folk, traditional, and heritage music in today's postmodern cosmopolitan societies.
