Music is out of time, ambiguous and inexhaustible. However, music has its specific basis in a located, historically and socially based human experience and meets specific meta-historical needs in a particular time and place.
This book is the outcome of a field research carried out in a multilingual context, South Tyrol, with two perspectives, a sociological perspective and a musicology perspective on traditional music approaches of the three groups living in the area.
The book itself goes through three major issues when talking about music and society: the field bound research on the use of music in tradition, the cultural debate and political implications in all music expressions, the question of didactic of music in relation with social changes. It is a multidisciplinary book and thus it is a step towards a deeper sociological awareness on the different levels of implications music has with and in society itself.
