GENRE POLITICS
Under construction (still!).The good news is that this paper was read at a conference this fall: the Society for Ethnomusicology, November 3-7, 2004, in Tuscon, AZ (USA). Yay! I prepared a heavily edited (mostly reduced) version of the written paper for the conference, and both versions are available for consultants. I've just moved these pages to my U of Chicago server, so I won't post versions of unpublished material until I've worked out the password protection stuff. Nontheless, I'd appreciate some feedback, so don't hesitate to ask for a copy by email in the meantim. This may also be a good time for you (if you're a consultant) to re-read the confidentiality and publication sections of my policy document (below).

More here later. I might put up an abstract, demographics, etc...
Thank you for indicating an interest in participating in this research project. Luis-Manuel Garcia (me) will carry out all research and interviews in a project that will produce a paper to be submitted to a graduate seminar at the University of Toronto as well to the 2004 meeting of the Society for Ethnomusicology. The following document outlines the study itself and information about your participation. If you require any further information or explanation, please contact me by email or phone (phone number will be disclosed to you privately).

- This is the version of the paper that I submitted for a course at U of Toronto. The paper is pretty long and I will probably cut out a fair bit of the historical background for the conference version. Nonetheless, the 'Ethnography' section is what consultants need to check; a lot of that will be retained and expanded.
