Overview
Overview
How does sound ecology--an acoustic connective tissue among communities--also become a basis for a healthy economy and a just community? Jeff Todd Titon's lived experiences shed light on the affecting powers of sound, music, language, culture, ecology, fieldwork and friendship, gift exchanges and musical communities, and human and nonhuman communication to reveal how weaving these topics together creates a model for cultural democracy. In Toward a Sound Ecology, Titon's essays demonstrate how to conduct socially responsible fieldwork and compose engaging and accessible ethnography that speaks to a diverse readership. His key writings collected here are situated chronologically within three particular areas of interest--fieldwork, cultural and musical sustainability, and sound ecology--and his methods support the movement of folklore and ethnomusicology toward applied approaches, where they consider music as a means of being present in the social world. Toward a Sound Ecology traces the unconventional choices and interdisciplinary paths that built deep connections between chronological points in Titon's life, career, and social engagement and his academic legacy in ethnomusicology, folklore, and American studies.
