Brief Abstract
（講演は英語および日本語で行われます。概要の日本語版はポスターをご参照ください。）
Bruno Nettl, one of the pioneers of ethnomusicology writes in his memoir, Encounters in Ethnomusicology (2002),“Although Western intellectuals love music, they claim that it’s difficult to understand and draw a sharp line between “musicians” and others.”
Starting from her experience writing her latest book, Not by Love Alone: The Violin in Japan, 1850-2010 (The Sound Book Press, 2014), Margaret Mehl will argue that music, which is above all a human activity that can be found in all human societies and throughout recorded history represents an obvious field of enquiry for historians, whether or not they call themselves “musicians.” She will address the question, what examining the history of music-making can contribute to our understanding of history in general.
A native of Germany, Margaret Mehl is an Associate Professor of Japanese Studies at the University of Copenhagen and has published widely on the history of historical writing, education and music in modern Japan. Her previous books include History and the State in Nineteenth-Century Japan (Macmillan, 1998) and Private Academies of Chinese Learning in Meiji Japan: The Decline and Transformation of the Kangaku Juku (NIAS Press, 2003). She is also a bit of a cheat, for, while not a “musician” (much less a musicologist), she plays the violin and has even passed her ABRSM Grade 5 Theory.
