The present paper seeks to establish the distinction (if there is any) between contemporary ethnomusicology
and cultural musicology by using my own Ph.D. research project as a case study.
One way to approach this task is to assess the extent to which the very topic and objectives of my
Ph.D. project, as well as at the theories and methodologies used, correspond to the current
tendencies in the two fields of studies. The aim of such a survey is twofold: one is to open a debate
on the (im)possibility of drawing clear disciplinary boundaries, and the other is to try and position
my Ph.D. research along disciplinary lines.
