In 2021 the Intercultural Institute of Comparative Music Studies continues with its programme of training and research activities in the field of audiovisual ethnomusicology, in collaboration with the Durham University Department of Music and the University of Cagliari Department of Humanities, Languages and Cultural Heritage. There are three main activities in this multi-year project: coordinating and setting up a grant for the production of an ethnomusicological documentary (the Diego Carpitella Scholarship with an open call for applications); the organisation of a workshop; and the screening of a series of films. This year’s workshop will be devoted to the theme of audiovisual ethnomusicology and online platforms. The teachers, Simone Tarsitani and Marco Lutzu, will deal with essential elements of audiovisual production theory and practice, with a special focus on ethnomusicological research methods using online platforms. Participants will develop skills that are useful not only in conducting ethnographic research making use of online platforms but also in pursuing audiovisual production with everyday tools (from smartphones to laptops).
