Rethinking Patrimony Through The Problem Of Hoarding
Authors : Glasser Jonathan .
Abstract
What does it mean to describe something as a patrimony? In many societies, including in the Maghrib, the concept seemingly speaks for itself. But it is precisely this givenness that should make us take a second look. This article revisits the meaning of patrimony by considering the question of hoarding in Algerian Andalusi musical circles. There is a longstanding claim that the Andalusi repertoire has suffered loss through acts of hoarding repertoire on the part of master musicians. This claim is a discursive trope that helps justify the patrimonial project of safeguarding the repertoire. At the same time, it is a meaningful practice that entails more than justification. Making sense of hoarding can help us make better sense of patrimony as a complex and frequently surprising social practice.
