Singing the Future: assessing the effectiveness of repatriation

该项目旨在增进对音乐活力和韧性的了解，并开发工具以更好地维持濒危土著音乐，造福于文化遗产社区、澳大利亚和世界。由于音乐活力在维持人类多样性和可持续性方面发挥着至关重要的作用，音乐濒危对当地和全球社会构成了一种危机。遣返遗留歌曲唱片一直是解决这一危机的关键研究干预措施。利用澳大利亚和乌干达的跨国研究，该项目计划调查遗产记录及其传播新技术在支持音乐活力的任务中的有效性。

The project aims to advance knowledge about musical vitality and resilience and to develop tools to better sustain endangered indigenous music for the benefit of cultural heritage communities, Australia and the world. Music endangerment presents a crisis for local and global societies, due to the critical role that musical vitality plays in maintaining human diversity and sustainability. Repatriation of legacy song records has been a key research intervention used to address this crisis. Using cross-national research in Australia and Uganda, the project plans to investigate the effectiveness of legacy records and new technologies for their dissemination in the task of supporting musical vitality.
