Ethnomusicological fieldwork has significantly changed since the end of the the 20th century. Ethnomusicology is in a critical moment that requires new perspecitves on fieldwork – perspectives that are not addressed in the standard guides to ethnomusicological or anthropological method. The focus in ethnomusicological writing and teaching has traditionally centered around analyses and ethnographic representations of musical cultures, rather than on the personal world of understanding, experience, knowing, and doing fieldwork.

admin — Sat, 13 Jun 2020 07:57:04 +0000

The first edition of the EC Atlas of Avoidable Death was published in 1988. It described mortality from 17 conditions in 10 countries in the period 1974-78. This second edition describes avoidable mortality between 1974-78 and 1980-84. Spain and Portugal are now included. There is growing interest in evaluating and monitoring health services.
