"Framing Europe":meLê yamomo interviewed by Theresa Beyer
Get PDFYamomo is interviewed by Theresa Beyer about his views on efforts to decolonise New Music, issues of critique that this raises, and how his biographical experience being Dutch and Filipino causes him to reflect on his status in between coloniser and colonised. For Yamomo, decolonialism, as with feminism and queerness before it, has already been eaten up by capitalism and now serves as a way of acquiring more capital. He argues that within contemporary music, the goal must not be to replace one system with another, but rather to focus on understanding the methods through which hierarchies and power positions are perpetuated in order to inform our decision-making as practitioners
Rehearsing Decolonial Curatorship of Southeast Asian Sound Archives in Europe
Get PDFWhat are the critical implications of dialogic thinking and writing? Can we find clues in the collaborative possibilities of performance and musicking for sustaining such conversations? This chapter dissects and intensifies these questions through a dialogue between yamomo and Titus in outlining their respective positions in the gradual realization of their plans pertaining to Decolonizing Southeast Asian Sound Archives (DeCoSEAS, 2021-2024).Through the entanglements of our respective agencies in working on this project we reflect on existing constellations of power that also feature in our collaboration – with each other and with our Southeast Asian and European partners.Hence, we emphatically include ourselves in our critique of such power constellations. Our epistemic practices encompass performative, reflective, and artistic dimensions that we outline here in order to offer some suggestions for sustained decolonial practice in the arts and humanities
The Persistent Refrain of the Colonial Archival Logic/Colonial Entanglements and Sonic Transgressions: Sounding Out the Jaap Kunst Collection
No full textThis double-authored article addresses colonial entanglements in the scholarly construction, employment and investigation of sound archives with particular attention for the aural encounters that such recorded bodies of knowledge engender. Outlining their academic, epistemic and personal positionalities, meLê yamomo and Barbara Titus engage in a written dialogue that foregrounds the (equally colonially informed) entanglements of their collective and individual thought during their ongoing collaboration in investigating sound archives. Titus provides a funnel for the foregrounding of audible colonial entanglements by analysing the recordings of a Timorese natoni ritual in the early 20th century, by missionary Pieter Middelkoop. These recordings ended up in the Jaap Kunst Collection, now located at the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, under Titus’s curation. In her analysis, Titus attempts to reach beyond the agencies of Middelkoop, Kunst and herself as a curator in the formation of sound archival knowledge. This attempt succeeds only to a very limited extent. yamomo dwells on the wider epistemological implications of such attempts by addressing his own archival research as well as the Sonic Entanglements Tour he organised with scholars from Southeast Asia along formative colonial sound archives in Europe in 2019

Methodologies Dialogue:Archives and Embodiments
No full textIn this conversation, Adrian Curtin, Prarthana Purkayastha, and meLê yamomo highlight how their research on sound and dance engages embodied knowledges and vice versa. They account for how archival work challenges presumptions about the research process as well as what the scholar assumes they are looking for in the archive. The research process demands flexibility because studying performance invites interpretation, adaptation, and cultural understanding as intermediaries in understanding archival materials. Each participant emphasizes how, for them, research processes have incorporated creative endeavours because of the embodied and artistic dimensions of performance and historiographic analysis
Brokering Sonic Modernities: migrant Manila musicians in the Asia Pacific, 1881-1948
Get PDFIn the second half of the 19th and in the beginning of the 20th century, the Asia Pacific region was inevitably entangled with early modern globalisation. In this article the author examines the spread of town bands and popular music in this period, and the ways in which both the bands and their music were intertwined with the modernist aspirations of the urban capitals, from Manila and into the Asia Pacific region. The role of the Manila musicians as crucial cultural mediators in this sonic modernisation project is closely examined. Looking into biographies, historical newspapers, and surviving archival documents, the author surveys some general patterns and specific narratives in the various replications of modernities, through the movement of sounds and ideas instigated by the migrant Manila musicians. In particular, the case of the Sta. Cecilia Band in Singapore between 1892 and 1910 is analysed

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
