Volume! #10-2 – Arranging the World

 - Volume! #10-2
Works, authors and rights: music and dance in globalization.
As digital technologies set off new modes of writing, listening, exchanging, circulating and data storaging, as well as new forms of authority, economies and types of relationships to time and to the world, this set of texts questions notions of musical and choreographic creation in our globalized context. Through a series of case studies which go beyond the North/South, written/oral, learned/popular and sacred/secular dichotomies, we better understand how these practices participate in the same regime of creation which either integrates or puts in tension two logics, one of renewal, another one of innovation. These practices of composing and recomposing are also questioned in terms of regimes of authority. The interest of this approach is to show that, in various regions of the world, alternative solutions to “copyright” systems, certain old, others more recent, have been set up and are henceforth part of the new service economies sparked off by the democratization of digital technologies.
