“…These resources are also more available and more likely to be used, a benefit to students and the educational process. Leach andSmallen (1998, 2000) have tackled the costing of IT services, more particularly the cost of outsourcing such services as network services, helpdesk, administrative information systems, and computer repair. Institutions participating in the COSTS project provide data on their services and their costs; the database allows an institution to see whether its costs are in the middle range (between the twenty-fifth and seventy-fifth percentiles) or if its costs are very low or very high.…”

“…Several institutions have attempted to lower costs or control their growth by outsourcing infrastructure or support. Leach andSmallen (1998, 2000) and the COSTS project have collected data from more than one hundred institutions and tested whether outsourcing decreased the unit cost of providing various services. Outsourcing desktop computer repair, for example, was found to be an economical strategy, especially for small institutions (those with fewer than three thousand full-time enrollments).…”

“…The decision to lease equipment clearly depends on institutional preference, but it may also be influenced by the institution's size. Leach andSmallen (1998, 2000) found that the cost of providing desktop computer repair was less in larger institutions, where expertise was more likely to be available on campus. Small institutions can possibly achieve economies of scale by joining in consortia or partnership arrangements with other institutions.…”

Ethnomusicology, Queerness, Masculinity

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This chapter explores in greater detail the motivations for and processes of the construction of masculinity within ethnomusicology. Understanding the centuries-long feminization of music in Western culture, anthropology and its methodology—fieldwork—are revealed as utilized in the creation of a specifically academic masculinity. However, while fieldwork is instrumental in the creation of one facet of masculinity (i.e., representation of a self marked by bravado, courage, intrepidness; the ‘anthropologist as hero’), it is argued that for the largely white, privileged male academic, recourse to such stereotypes alone is insufficient. As such, it is intellect and rationality, manifesting via the use and production of Theory (itself coded as masculine) that allow for the maintaining of power over the musical, the racialized Other, and the positivistic, feminized musicologist.

This chapter outlines some of the varied relationships between music and philosophy in the Middle Ages. As one of the disciplines of the mathematical quadrivium, musica concerns issues of acoustics but the notation and ontology of music additionally relate to grammar, logic, and rhetoric. Furthermore, music is related to the boundaries between human and non-human animals and overlaps with, while not being completely subsumed by, sonic practices. Medieval music was also implicated in writings on ethics, which give evidence of music’s role in gendered and political identity formation. Finally, the chapter considers what sort of knowledge musical knowledge was in the Middle Ages and why modern thinking might struggle with various aspects of music’s relation to philosophy in this period.
