Postcolonialism and Music Studies: Issues, Challenges, and Prospects, and a Norwegian Case Study / Thomas Solomon 

Since the turn of the millennium music scholars have increasingly become aware of the relevance of postcolonial approaches for understanding contemporary and historical musical life. The first part of this presentation will introduce some central concepts from postcolonial theory. The second part will apply some of those concepts in a discussion of the Norwegian performance group Fargespill.
