West meets East

The anthology "West Meets East" deals with a culturally and politically highly controversial issue, the issue of intercultural dialogue. The individual contributions are approaching the matter from the perspective of different (musicology) disciplines and methodological approaches and cover a wide geographical frame of reference. In this historical context and the current migration flows are considered as well as the question of how manifested 'intercultural dialogue' in the music itself - or exposed as a sham dialogue. The publication is intended for musicologists, ethnomusicologists, music and cultural sociologist, migration researchers and representatives of cultural studies and decision-makers from the culture and politics.
