  • Toner, Peter (PI)

    Project: Research

    Project Details

    Description

    For over fifty years, the music of the Yolngu people has captivated the interest of some of Australia's most eminent anthropologists and ethnomusicologists; these scholars have gone on to lead the way in the development of their respective disciples in this country. Yolngu, too, have a deep-seeded intellectual interest in the history of their music and wish to recover that history. This project is a critical historical investigation of Yolngu music, from the inter-related perspectives of the musicians who produced it and the scholars who studied it. Outcome of the project will include a monograph, published articles, and conference papers.
