[ANPPOM-Lista] elizabeth wood: sobre (co-)autoria

A quem possa interessar:

Coloquei no Academia.edu o preprint de um belo depoimento de Elizabeth Wood
sobre (co-)autoria, cuja nota introdutória reproduzo abaixo. A íntegra da
entrevista encontra-se no link, ao final do texto.

 Philip Brett died of cancer on 16 October 2002. The previous year, the *
GLSG** Newsletter* had printed “Lesbian and Gay Music”, the uncensored
original of the article he and Elizabeth Wood co-authored for the second
edition of *The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians*, where it
appeared as “Gay and Lesbian Music”, with various cuts. In December 2002,
the *Electronic Musicological Review* republished the unexcised manuscript
in a bilingual version that benefited from detailed discussion with the
authors and commentaries by various scholars. In August the following year,
I gave a paper on the article at the XIV Congress of the Brazilian
Association for Research and Graduate Studies in Music. The interview that
follows was conducted in mid May 2003 to verify ideas ventured in the
paper. It gave rise to a review-article that came out in *Echo *later on,
with excerpts from the interview. <#_ftn6>

An insider’s take on the history of queer musicology written by one of its
pioneers under the impact of a beloved colleague’s death, Wood’s statement
on co-authorship is a touching tribute to Brett’s memory. Yet, she warns:



This interview took place ten years ago, and the views expressed there
reflect that. One of the limitations of our early work on lesbian and gay
music was there in the title. The field and its categories were expanded,
and rightly so, to include bisexual, transsexual, transgendered, and queer.



Wood explains: “Philip and I were old enough to have lived through the
invisibility and oppression of Gay and Lesbian people and believed in
keeping visible in our work and writing the historical and political
specificity of these categories”. <#_ftn8>

In 2006 Routledge added the unexpurgated text of “Lesbian and Gay Music”,
with a new Preface by Wood and Bibliography updated by Emily Wilbourne, to
the revised edition of* Queering the Pitch*. <#_ftn9> Conversely, *Grove
Music Online* chose to maintain “Gay and Lesbian Music” under the shape it
appeared in print. Under the title “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender,
and Queer Music”, Nadine Hubbs edited and updated “Gay and Lesbian Music”
for *Grove Music Online*, probably in 2010, so that Brett and Wood’s text
could keep evolving, even if beyond their wishes.
