摘要：This work by Maria Sonevytsky is based on her extensive research, which began in 2004 in Ukraine and lasted for over a decade, culminating in a fieldwork trip in 2015 and research updates up to 2019. The author explores the topic not only from the academic perspective but also from the performing angle, as Sonevytsky is a practicing multidisciplinary professional with extensive professional training and significant performing experience. Sonevytsky’s unique capacity to see connections between music and Ukrainian politics in the context of history already found its reflection in her earlier projects. “The Chornobyl Songs Project: Living Culture from a Lost World” was released in 2015 by Smithsonian Folkways and elaborated on the effects of the Chornobyl nuclear disaster and the revival of rural musical repertoires.
