Abstract

This chapter explores the relationship between music and migration in the light of changing theoretical perspectives, but also a changing world. Through a series of empirical vignettes it argues for a reconceptualisation that puts music at the centre of cultural globalisation. Migrating music, it is argued, involves a mimetic encounter with others, but also translation, that is the emergent transformation of the music of others. These processes are central to the construction of a cosmopolitan world which is nevertheless riven with persisting difference.
