Sommario/riassunto

Connecting migration studies and the theory of valuation, this collection offers an interdisciplinary approach to the study of transnational music practices. Conceiving music as a practice not confined to audibility, the contributions reveal how music emerges in concrete situations through people, objects, techniques, meanings, and emotions in different parts of the world and during different historic periods. Values are thereby created and shared, and creative processes are evaluated in terms of diversity, space and exchange.  This book presents cases of contemporary, popular and traditional music, festivals and trade fairs, albums and band projects, shedding light on



the tensions between the transfer, reconstruction and creation of music in different contexts.
