While it exhibits a number of parallels with British military fife and drum music which may be attributable to the influence of the British army that was garrisoned on the island for over two hundred years, other influences have also played a part in the development of tuk, notably the musical heritage of the African‐descended population. The first part of this paper examines the early history of tuk and places it in its original performance contexts. In more recent times, the creation of a national identity drawing on the heritage of the majority African‐descended population has helped to preserve customs and traditions that may otherwise have died out. Although once looked down upon by some sectors of the population, these traditions have now been recontextualized to serve a specific purpose in post‐Independence Barbados and are more widely (though not universally) accepted. The way in which this transformation has been achieved is explored in the second part of the paper.","PeriodicalId":404445,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Ethnomusicology","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122936148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Donegal, Ireland, contextualizing them within a critique of Irish folklore studies. It also examines the position of a fieldworker who shares the ethnicity of those with whom he has worked, discussing the challenges and opportunities presented by such a situation. The notion of “field” is questioned, and it is argued that a reciprocal “equity consciousness “ towards an ethics of practice is crucial to any worthwhile engagement with the musical traditions of others. The limitations of such an engagement are also discussed and I argue that, if we are to avoid complacency and grave error, critical moments of distanciation must always mediate the activity of appropriation.","PeriodicalId":404445,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Ethnomusicology","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122825080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I propose that Malinowski was influenced by a Slavic “peasant‐love” model of ethnography that shares much with the more current “friendship” model. Though I believe friendship model field‐work is unsurpassed, its relationship to peasant‐love fieldwork causes me to wonder if it too is motivated by ideologies that will be judged harshly by our intellectual descendants.","PeriodicalId":404445,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Ethnomusicology","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116506520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
