Does Ethnomusicology need Disciplining? On the Values of Ethnomusicological Projects, Domestic and International, Disciplinary and Interdisciplinary from the Croatian Perspective

The purpose of this paper is to stimulate the exchange of insights among Austrian, Slovakian, Slovenian and Croatian ethnomusicologists regarding scholarly projects that we participate in, especially in terms of the values of ethnomusicologically-oriented versus anthropologically-oriented projects for improving our knowledge and for “sustainability” of ethnomusicology, and, even more, in terms of financial resources that facilitate their realization. The author firstly provides some basic information on the status of ethnomusicology in Croatian scholarly and broader cultural sphere, then she analyses the position of ethnomusicology within FP7 and HERA projects, and concludes with some ideas on disciplining ethnomusicology in terms of following the trajectory of ethnomusicological theories (instead of domesticating anthropological and other theories in ethnomusicology) and in terms of focusing on the values of musicking in human life (instead of looking, through the music glasses, at complex disjunctures and intersections of the present world).
