SUMMARY:RAI 2024 Blacking Lecture
DESCRIPTION:BORDER LISTENING: ETHNOGRAPHY AND PERFORMANCE BEYOND NATION\nTHE 2024 BLACKING LECTURE will be given by Professor Rachel Harris (School of Arts\, SOAS University of London)\n~ with live music by Ozan Baysal and Shohret Nur \nOn 15 November 2024\, 5.30-7pm GMT at Brunei Gallery Lecture Theatre\, SOAS. \nTo book an in-person ticket please go to: \nhttps://www.tickettailor.com/events/royalanthropologicalinstituteofgreatbritain/1432554 \nDrawing inspiration from research at the intersection of sound studies\, ethnomusicology and anthropology\, Rachel Harris considers how listening at the borders can inform our ethnographic and creative practice. In the lecture she will reflect on interviews with Uyghur exile Sufis\, and a maqām-based musical collaboration at SOAS. What kinds of affective re-orientation are required by these Sufi exiles’ insistence on listening as sohbet / companionship? How might a focus on the micro-details of puraq / style shift our understanding of modal practice? If the interviews with exiles demand a particular embodied ethics of attention\, musical collaborations across borders require another particular set of listening techniques and orientations\, but they are both forged in embodied and dialogic practice. The lecture will showcase some of the creative initiatives underway within the Maqām Beyond Nation project\, with live music by Ozan Baysal and Shohret Nur. \nRachel Harris\nRachel Harris teaches ethnomusicology at SOAS\, University of London.
