Traditional Music, Tourism, and Social Change in an Irish Village

Beschreibung

Argues traditional Irish music represents an increasingly important identity marker both in Ireland and abroad. Focuses on a small village in County Clare, a pilgrimage site for those interested in experiencing traditional music. Explores the commercialization of music and culture, consumption of "place," and offers a critique of the trope of "authenticity"
