The author discusses methodological questions concerning his broad research project on music in the Balkans. He raises a number of questions related to defining national, cultural, and other identities in this region. The text is organized into four sections: 1. An ecumene, 2. Culture as appropriation 3. Centers and peripheries, and 4. Music gets its own back.
