  3. 1) Rhizome: “to take root”, organic movement, “a circulation of states”, multiplicity, variation, and expansion, spreads through a culture and nation, radiates outward, not to be confused with the structure/movment of a tree
    2) Appropriation: ownership of something, cultural identity. Example: Zehava Ben’s feeling of ownership of Umm Khaltoum’s music
    3) Soundscape
    a) Sound: music, atmosphere, noise, meaning- linguistic, vibration in the molecules in the atmosphere
    b) Setting: history, context, location, culture, can be complicated, time frame, demographics.
    c) Significance: authenticity, questionalblity over origin , degree of originality,
    4) Disputed Territory: geography/geo-political, gender/race/sexual identity; wherever there is a struggle between two opposing forces. How does the struggle give music it’s meaning.
    5) Authenticity: questionability over origin, degree of originality; susceptible to imitation or dispute. Who has the right to perform the music or to enjoy it. Nominal- what can the music/sound be called?
    6) Harmonics: physics of sound, the science of music, vibrational frequencies that result in standing waves (or, commonly known as different notes ☺)
    7) Ethnomusicology: the study of music that takes into account cultural and ethnic backgrounds including genre, sound, historical context, ect.
    8) Ethnoscape: the shifting of roots, or people; examples: tourists, immigrants, refugees, exiles, guest workers, and other moving groups
    9) Ethnography: a narrative about a certain culture or ethnicity, especially with regards to history and music including current events
    10) Auto-ethnography: an ethnography written by one’s self regarding a personal ethnography; direct part of a soundscape; attempting to observe own soundscape
