New French Paperback. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In French. 354, [4] p., 8 numerous color plates, 1 CD. "Les Yayla sont les estives où les yörük, nomades et semi-nomades turkmènes, mènent leurs troupeaux au mois de mai, dans de longues transhumances; et c est plus souvent, désormais, le lieu où ces nomades ont fini par se sédentariser. Ainsi, au sud-ouest de la Turquie, non loin de la Méditerranée, dans quelques yayla du Taurus occidental, des musiciens répètent à l'envi de petites musiques formulaires pour inciter des parents ou amis à danser. Ceux-ci enchaînent les figures bras levés, en tournoyant, sur un cycle de quatre pas, dont un suspendu. La musique du lieu révèle son charme discret, mais irrésistible: une métrique boiteuse omniprésente, des mélodies dont l'ambitus ne dépasse guère une sixte, et qu il est difficile au premier abord de distinguer entre elles, tant les lois combinatoires de leur formation sont subtiles. Ainsi ces anciens nomades suspendent-ils le temps, en l'enfermant dans le cercle de la répétition, de la ritournelle. L'ethnomusicologue, venu là d abord pour apprendre les secrets du bag;lama, petit luth emblématique de cette société, y rencontre l amitié indéfectible des maîtres de musique, derniers témoins de la vie pastorale d antan. Ensemble ils interrogent le devenir et les mutations de cette société, depuis le passé préservé dans les mémoires, jusqu au présent ethnograhique; en s immergeant dans le temps vécu, en épousant ses rythmes, l'ethnomusicologue apprend à capter les vibrations et les intensités qui traversent ce territoire, à saisir les enjeux esthétiques et politiques qui's y expérimentent. La monographie qui en résulte part de ce petit pays de danseurs, de ses conceptions musicales, de ses habitus, en explorant les concepts de rythme, de territoire, de minorité. Interrogeant la nature profonde de ce monde rural qui reste fort peu étudié par l anthropologie, l auteur propose une géomusicologie: car la musique est ici non seulement objet d étude, mais aussi trait d union entre un paysage et les hommes qui l'habitent.".
