The ADEM is also a laboratory of ideas and new releases relating to world music. CDs, DVDs, books, the Cahiers d’ethnomusicologie, etc. The numerous publications featured on this page reflect the various initiatives undertaken in collaboration with diverse editorial partners.
As the only French language ethnomusicology journal, the Cahiers d’ethnomusicologie has become an indispensible work tool over the course of the years for all music professionals, as well as interesting reading for a number of world music connoisseurs.
A showcase of world music and dance, Ethnosphères Magazine offers an unprecedented proximity to the world music and dance scene, as it is lived and conceived at the end of the lake, through a wide variety of formats (portraits, reports, reports, press reviews). Ethnosphères Blog accompanies the mission of transmission of the ADEM by popularizing the news of research in ethnomusicology.
The books and collected works derive directly from studies carried out within the framework of the Ateliers d’ethnomusicologie. The many different ways of approaching ethnomusicology, such as field work, conferences or even just the reflexion on the state of world music, allow for the transmission of discoveries and original experiences.
