In this episode, Professor Joshua Pilzer joins us in discussing his award-winning book, “Quietude: A Musical Anthropology of "Korea's Hiroshima” - winner of the Alan Merriam Prize from the Society for Ethnomusicology. Through this discussion, we better understand the human impact of the nuclear bombing and the “musical” features of so-called extra-musical practices like speech and everyday movement. We also touch on Professor Pilzer’s journey into ethnomusicology and to Korea.
Joshua D. Pilzer is a Professor of Ethnomusicology in the Faculty of Music, and an affiliate faculty of the Centre for the Study of Korea. His research focuses on the anthropology of music in modern Korea and Japan, women's musical worlds, and the relationships between music, survival, memory, traumatic experience, marginalisation, disability, public culture, mass media, social practice and identity.
