- David Treece is the sole editor of the volume, the sole author of the 3,600-word Introduction (8 pp), and the sole author of the 6,000-word chapter ‘Samba, Anti-Racism and Communitarian Politics in 1970s Rio de Janeiro: Candeia and the Quilombo Project’ (pp. 125-36)
Treece’s research contribution comprises:
(a) Conception and development of the volume, as a distinctive contribution to musicological studies of the Portuguese-speaking world, with a focus on the themes of musical place, space and movement. Treece commissioned the seventeen essays and organised them into three parts: Colonial and post-colonial transnationalisms, migrations and diasporas, focusing on the musical movements and fluxes that have traversed the Lusophone Atlantic world since the colonial period; Relocating Rio de Janeiro, which examines the Lusophone Atlantic city par excellence as a contested musical space—geographically, symbolically and politically—with regard to the key musical traditions of samba, pagode and choro; and Demetropolitanizing the musical city—other scenes, industries, technologies, examining contemporary developments in the independent, underground and peripheral music scenes in Brazil and Portugal;
(b) Editing of volume chapters–almost all the texts were translations from the Portuguese, and these had to be heavily edited for style, consistency and comprehensibility;
(c) Research and writing of the Introduction, which reviews some key conceptual topics for the theorization of musical place, space and movement as they relate to the Lusophone Atlantic world, and locates the respective contributions of the volume essays in relation to these;
(d) Research and writing of chapter ‘Samba, Anti-Racism and Communitarian Politics in 1970s Rio de Janeiro: Candeia and the Quilombo Project’.
