演講題目： Music and Conviviality: Empathy, Repair, and Homage
摘要：
I will share parts of my introduction to an edited book in progress titled Connection, Empathy, and the Performing Arts. The book will feature chapters by eight music scholars and a full circle return to a musical and political idealism. I explore two sets of questions.
First, how is the framework of ‘conviviality’ useful at this historical moment? When we focus on music and empathetic connection across difference, what does this bring to an area of music scholarship now dominated by attention to conflict, trauma, and violence? What’s gained and what’s lost by focusing on the reparative?
 

Second, how can I honor the intentions of a colleague whose research was dedicated to those questions? Ethnomusicologist Yoshitaka Terada instigated this book, brought me on as a co-organizer, and died unexpectedly midway through the project. As I work to weave the strands of his thought and mine – and the music scholars he brought together – into a book, I address issues now at the center of North American music research: what are the decolonial ethics of speaking for others? How can we share or cede scholarly authority? Now that our book is an act of homage, how can I recast ‘editing’ as an act of conviviality?
