The Routledge Companion to Ethics and Research in Ethnomusicology is a comprehensive exploration of the ethical challenges and responsibilities involved in conducting research on individuals engaged in music-making. It delves into fundamental and thought-provoking ethical questions that have shaped the history and practices of this discipline. Through 26 representative cases from diverse geographical, societal, and musical contexts, the authors collectively reflect on the impacts of ethnomusicological research, examining the potential for privilege, harm, and recognition. They also explore the means to provide benefit and reciprocation to the musicians and other contributors to our studies. In a world where ethical values often clash and music itself holds significant moral power, the volume aims to uncover the conditions and consequences of the ethical choices we face as ethnomusicologists. By doing so, it contributes to the development of a more engaged and responsible discipline and a more globally aware music studies. The companion is organized into four parts: sound practices and philosophies of ethics, fieldwork encounters, environment, trauma, and collaboration, and research in public domains.
