  Ethnomusicology is the study of music within its cultural and social contexts. Unlike traditional musicology, which often focuses on musical structures, compositions, and theories, ethnomusicology examines music as a human activity that reflects the beliefs, values, and traditions of the societies that create and sustain it. It is an interdisciplinary field, drawing from anthropology, sociology, history, and linguistics to analyze the ways in which music functions within different cultural frameworks. By understanding music as an integral part of human life, ethnomusicologists seek to explore its role in shaping identity, transmitting heritage, and fostering social connections. 
  The scope of ethnomusicology is vast, encompassing diverse musical practices from indigenous chants and ritualistic drumming to contemporary global fusion genres. This field does not limit itself to non-Western or folk traditions but extends to all forms of music, including popular and classical traditions from different regions. One of the key principles of ethnomusicology is fieldwork, which involves immersive participation, interviews, and direct observation of musical traditions within their native environments. Through this hands-on approach, scholars can capture the lived experiences of musicians, the meaning behind musical performances, and the social structures that support musical expression. 
  Historically, ethnomusicology emerged as a formal discipline in the early twentieth century, evolving from earlier efforts to document and categorize world music traditions. Scholars such as Jaap Kunst, Alan Lomax, and Bruno Nettl contributed significantly to the development of the field, advocating for the study of music in its broader cultural and historical context.

  Painted People: Humanity in 21...

  In 1881, a writer in the Saturday Review called tattooing ‘an art without a history’. ‘No-one’, it went on, ‘has made it the business of his life to study the development of tattooing.’ Until now. 
  Painted People is a beguiling and intimate look at an untold history of humanity. 
  The earliest tattoos yet identified belonged to Ötzi, the ‘iceman’, whose mummy allows us a brief glimpse into the prehistory of the practice. We know that over the more than five thousand years since he was tattooed, countless cultures have performed this ancient practice, and people in every corner of the world have been tattooed. For the most part, these fascinating histories remain stubbornly untold, and the secrets of Siberian princesses, Chinese generals and Victorian socialites have been hidden on the skin, under layers of clothing and under layers of history. Now with access to a wealth of new and unreported material, this book will roll up its sleeves and reveal the artwork hidden beneath them. 
  In Painted People, Dr Matt Lodder, one of the world’s foremost experts on tattooing, tells the stories of people like Arnaq, who was tattooed in keeping with her cultural and religious traditions in sixteenth-century Canada, and Horace Ridler, who was tattooed as a means to make money in 1930s London. And in between these two extremes, he describes tattoos inked for love, for loyalty, for sedition and espionage and for self-expression, as well as tattoos inflicted on the unwilling, to ostracise. Taken together, these twenty-one tattoos paint a portrait of humanity as both artist and canvas. 
  Lodder's Painted People is a top-tier exploration of body art, blending science and design in a unique anthropological study. His criticism of popular views on tattooing offers a fresh perspective on this ancient practise. 
  For fans of Nick Schonberger (The Language of Tattoos), John Miller (The Philosophy of Tattoos), Trent Aitken-Smith (The Tattoo Dictionary), Caroline Vout (Exposed), and Yori Moriarty (Japanese Tattoos).

  James McNeill Whistler 1834-1863

  Whistler's work can be divided into four periods. The first was a research period in which the artist was influenced by the Realism of Gustave Courbet and by Japanese art. Whistler then discovered his own originality in the Nocturnes and the Cremorne Gardens series, thereby coming into conflict with the academics who wanted a work of art to tell a story. When he painted the portrait of his mother, Whistler entitled it Arrangement in Gray and Black, and this is symbolic of his aesthetic theories.
