Using an embodied practice as her methodology, the author reveals how she and her music teachers live “in between” local and global cultures. Her journey spans 20 years of fieldwork presented through personal and intimate stories, first as a student of the balafon instrument, then as a patron of the music. Tensions build in both the music and in social relations that require resolutions, underscoring the differences between two world views. Through balafon lessons, the author embodies values such as patience, courage, and generosity, resulting in a transformative practice that leads her to better understand her position vis-à-vis that of her jeli teachers. Meanwhile, jeliya itself, despite having been transmitted from teacher to student for 800 years, is currently in peril. Jelis cite modern globalized culture and people like the author herself as both a source of the problem as well as the potential solution.. | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | 关键词 | jaliya; anthropology of art; global culture; pedagogy; oral tradition; mande; West Africa; embodiment; refle | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-83059-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-83061-8 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-83059-5Series ISSN 2946-4218 Series E-ISSN 2946-4226 | issn_series | 2946-4218 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
