Pollution, biodiversity loss, climate change, sustainability: in recent years environmental issues have become some of the most significant socio-political, and arguably, moral, concerns of our time. However, there seems to be a cultural gap holding people back from taking the necessary steps to stop the emergency. Ecomusicology, which is defined as “the study of music, culture, and nature in all the complexities of those terms". Indeed, ecomusicology can be considered as a “crisis field” apt to address issues of music and the environment in a time of environmental crisis. |

ABSTRACT: The climate crisis is arguably the most significant issue the human race is facing right now,
possibly ever; and yet, the global solutions to this emergency feel underwhelming and lacking
the sense of momentousness that should be required. Part of the reason is that human
inaction toward climate change has a cultural basis, the very basis that is responsible, or at
best, complicit, in the environmental crisis in the first place. Quoting Amitav Ghosh, the
climate crisis is a crisis of culture, and as of now, the culture is rooted in anthropocentrism and
binary thinking, resulting in a dismissal of the nonhuman, stripping it of its agency and voice.
There is a need to rebuild the human relationship with his surroundings, there is a need to
listen. Ecomusicology and zoomusicology are two relatively new interdisciplinary fields of
research focusing on nonhuman sound, both challenging anthropocentric views and
encouraging a more informed, perhaps kinder, understanding of the Other. Music has a role
to play in this process: it has always been considered something that could only be made by,
and for, humans, yet another instance of the kind of thinking that leads to further detachment
from the nonhuman. To broaden one’s scope toward what is more than human in a sonic
context, to listen, is the very first step leading to a reconciliation with the Other, due to the
inevitable recognition that it has a voice, and it can have music. |
