Zoe Sherinian: "Digital Humanities and Ethnomusicology: Digital ways to see and hear music in South Asia and beyond." Wednesday, December 11th, 5 PM, ZOOM

What are the capacities and creative possibilities that are unleashed when we think beyond the limits of print or "writing as a privileged mode of expression of academic ethnographic practices" (Hsu 2013)? What is distinct or particular about a musical approach to digital humanities, to hearing sound in digital contexts? How can digital tools help bring us closer to a sensorial, phenomenological experience of people, sounds, and places as well as to create partnerships with underrepresented communities in shared (horizontal) knowledge production? This talk will engage with these questions and others to illuminate and sound-out best practices, realization of projects, and methods through sharing her own work in documentary film and music mapping in South Asia as well as her colleague's engaged with film, archiving, mapping, VR/AR, and DH pedagogy.

Zoe Sherinian, Professor of Ethnomusicology at the University of Oklahoma, is an accomplished scholar of Tamil folk music, Dalit liberation theology, and intersections of gender and caste. She has authored Tamil Folk Music As Dalit Liberation Theology (Indiana, 2014), co-edited Making Congregational Music Local (Routledge, 2017) and Music and Dance as Everyday Life in South Asia (Oxford, 2024). Sherinian has produced two award-winning documentary films on the parai drum of the Dalits of Tamil Nadu, India: This is a Music: Reclaiming an Untouchable Drum (2011), and Sakthi Vibrations (2019). Her latest project is a digital map on the musical diversity of the parai drum.

The Digital Humanities Series is open to the public.
