    Dossiê Etnomusicologia Negra: Caminhos, Contribuições, Pensamentos e Legado
    Vol. 13 No. 3 (2024)

    "Black Ethnomusicology: Paths, Contributions, Thought, and Legacy" brings together texts by Brazilian and foreign researchers to provoke an epistemic and emic shift in the ways of thinking-and-doing Ethnomusicology. Written entirely by Black people, these texts present diverse reflections and inflections on Black people in/and Music and their relationships with sounds and sound cultures. With this publication, the Música e Cultura Journal seeks to open up space for new discussions and ethnomusicological perspectives that rupture with the oppressive racial system and promote not only the inclusion of Black people in the academic field but also a systematic reconfiguration of racial relations therein, opening up space for diverse insurgent voices, with epistemic-sonic proposals that point to Other paths for research in Ethnomusicology and Music.

  • Dossier – Ethnomusicology of Celebration: Encounters, Confluences, and Celebrations
    Vol. 14 No. 1 (2025)

    This special issue aims to explore the multiple sonic and epistemological dimensions that "celebrations" assume as spaces and times of encounters and exchanges, flows and ebbs, conflicts and cultural confluences. Naming a wide and varied range of social phenomena, the so-called "celebrations" – popular, religious, community-based, private, rural, urban, or virtual – are populated by sonorities that operate as articulating elements of ancestral memories and multiple cultural belongings. Among artifacts, rites, bodies, sounds, and so many other performative and sensitive aspects, celebrations define a time that structures social relations in daily community life, revealing historical, political, and spiritual functions. In their sound-musical practices, celebrations transcend the merely aesthetic sphere, creating social contexts that involve identity markers of class, race, and gender, affirming traditions and modes of cultural re-existence. With this issue, the journal Música e Cultura intends to welcome works from the most varied theoretical and methodological perspectives, seeking to broaden the debate on the phenomenon of festive encounters and their sound-musical expressions. This special issue also aims to be a collective effort in the search for a more comprehensive and open perception, listening to the sounds and silences brought by celebrations in their various forms of encounter and cultural celebration.
