currentmusicology-4812	Fox, Aaron A.	Review of Georgina Born and David Hesmondhalgh, eds. 2000. Western Music and Its Others: Difference, Representation, and Appropriation in Music. Berkeley: University of California Press	2000	4	.pdf	application/pdf	1754	61	34	Opening outwards from the broad question of how to approach difference (semiotically speaking, an effect of representation) in a non­ representational medium such as music, Born and Hesmondhalgh quickly proceed to narrow the question to several specific genera of musical and cultural alterity with a specific emphasis on social power: Orientalist appropriations of non-Western musics and musical practices in Western musical discourses; the intra- and inter-cultural logics of mu­ sical otherness; the dynamics of power and inequality in the contempo­ rary global era of musical circulation; the mutually contexualizing inter­ play of musical aesthetics and discursive constructions of musical meaning; and the specific disingenuously pluralist lexicon of postmod­ ern musical discourse. Jann Pasler's contribution, Race, Orientalism, and the Distinction in the Wake of the 'Yellow Peril' , complicates the tarring and feathering of nineteenth-century European high culture as uniformly Orientalist in its relations with non-Western music through a comparison of the composers Albert Roussel and Maurice Delage, each of whom appropriated Indian music.	cache/currentmusicology-4812.pdf	txt/currentmusicology-4812.txt
