<p class="IsiAbstrakIndo"><span lang="EN-GB">This research is an anthropology of music which discusses the dynamics of <em>strékan </em>music from colonial to contemporary era in Situbondo. In Situbondo, <em>strékan </em>is a term which refers to music for welcoming guests. By ethnography method and postcolonial perspective, this research will discuss social problems and phenomena of <em>strékan </em>music. The result of this research shows that a change of <em>strékan </em>music signifies a change of social condition in Situbondo. In colonial era <em>strékan </em>is assumed by people like music for elite class. The field data show that there is unequal power relation between colonized and colonizer. In pasca-colonial era the hierarchy relation becomes ambivalent. It appears negotiation space between colonial signs and Madurese culture of Situbondo people, considered to be symbolic resistance. <em>Strékan </em>music is reinterpreted as music for low class. In the contemporary era, <em>strékan </em>music tends to market oriented. <em>Strékan </em>music includes <em>dangdut</em> music, following market taste as a consequence of commercialization of art.</span></p>

Anthropology Of Music

The aim of the article is to separate the concepts of musicology, music anthropology, music, and instrumentalism. This very division and reflection of the interrelations of concepts provide a starting point for a detailed study of the problems of musical instrumentalism. The article is methodological in nature. It contains a number of important settings that are necessary for the anthropological analysis of music. The Central theoretical explanation of the article is the separation of musical anthropology and the anthropology of music. For this purpose, a number of tasks, namely, the definition of the theoretical fields of musical anthropology and the anthropology of music, and the disclosure of the role of music in traditional and modern society are proposed. The concept of musical action is introduced. Solving these problems allows to give a more complete analysis of the relationship between a person and music. It is this problem that becomes the main problem in the music media mainstream, where popular music is used as a way of producing moods and experiences. Music becomes a particularly valuable commodity in a networked society, which is made not so much for the purpose of incorporating into the values of high culture but to control the behavior of people in the music market. In addition to commercialization, music is becoming an effective political technology that provides consensus among voters. In this regard, there is a cultural problem, how high art in general and music, in particular, can preserve its traditional purpose – to promote humanization
