Philip V. Bohlman's impact on the scope and meaning ofethnomusicology is difficult to overstate. His influence ismanifest not only in his numerous publications, his serviceto the discipline, and his presence at institutions andgatherings across the globe, but also in the work of hisstudents. This volume, featuring essays written by hisstudents and peers, honors his enormous contributions to thediscipline by focusing on three analytic lenses throughwhich Bohlman's work has excavated the complexities ofencounter - ethics, memory, and performance. The essaysengaging ethics treat topics including scholarship asactivism, the power/politics of knowledge, and the ethics ofmusical practice and performance. Memory is explored throughessays exploring issues related to modernity, commemoration,the nation, and historiography. The essays concerned withperformance interrogate historical, symbolic, andexperiential aspects of musical performance and wrestle withthe enduring questions of belonging that often accompanysuch performances.
