Garbage in Taiwan is at the center of a musical assemblage that resonates beyond the waste collection soundscape. Taiwanese garbage trucks are musical: Badarzewska's Maiden's Prayer or Beethoven's För Elise announce the brigade's arrival at designated times and pick up locations. Neighbors stream into the street for a turn at depositing their presorted waste into the proper receptacles. Taiwan's semi-tropical climate combined with a densely situated human population, and the presence of well-established rat and cockroach populations, combine to make garbage management a matter of daily urgency. This chapter takes Taiwan's pop music, primarily Mandopop, from the early 1980s through the mid-2010s as evidence of ways in which everyday practices aimed at dealing sustainably with household waste have seeped into a wide range of sensibilities.

This chapter examines protest songs written in response to two environmental crises, the 2010 British Petroleum oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and the long-term coastal erosion of Louisiana's wetlands. It concludes that these songs have been ineffective in changing attitudes and behaviors deleterious to the environment and proposes some reasons why this might be so, including self-censorship, the substantial financial and social capital of the oil industry in the region, and (like other case studies in this volume) a disconnect between cultural sustainability and environmental sustainability. Songwriters employ various perspectives including empathy for wildlife, environmental justice for workers and residents whose lives and health have been affected, and one in protest on behalf of the oil industry.

This chapter begins with the idea of the photograph as an integral component in the ecology of memory, exploring the nature of the photograph as key in the sustaining of community identity and knowledge. Focusing on the documentary photographic work and life of Maggie Lee Sayre and Paul Kwilecki, it looks at ways in which memory, imagination, and creativity propel the making of photographs and also are served by the lasting nature of photography. The photographs of Sayre and Kwilecki, born of ordinary life and passing moments, are discussed as key elements the artists' attempt to arrest time–frail instant–and nourish personal and sustainable community-based memory.
本章以照片作为记忆生态中不可分割的组成部分的观点开始，探索照片的本质，作为维持社区身份和知识的关键。聚焦于Maggie Lee Sayre和Paul Kwilecki的纪实摄影作品和生活，它着眼于记忆、想象力和创造力推动照片制作的方式，也为摄影的持久本质服务。Sayre和Kwilecki的照片，诞生于平凡的生活和流逝的时刻，作为艺术家试图抓住时间脆弱的瞬间的关键元素，并滋养个人和可持续的社区记忆。

Dotan Nitzberg, M. Bakan
The co-authors are a concert pianist with the autism spectrum condition (ASC) Asperger's syndrome (Nitzberg) and an ethnomusicologist who researches autism (Bakan). Through their collaboration, they aim to develop effective piano pedagogy methods for students with ASC–also known as autism spectrum disorder (ASD)–and promote neurodiversity and improved quality of life for autistic individuals. The centerpiece of the article is an annotated, five-item list of “dos and don'ts” for teaching piano to people with Asperger's syndrome. Situating that list within Titon's concepts of adaptive management and resilience, Nitzberg and Bakan propose that beyond their direct value in music education, the interpersonal pedagogical engagements explored hold further relevance for what they might reveal generally about the role of musical cultures in sustaining communities and (eco)systems.

This chapter begins with one cultural practice–surfing–that was developed to an extremely high level by indigenous peoples of Hawai'i over several millennia before it was appropriated by settler colonialists and exported globally. It asks what music associated with surfing reveals about the processes of colonization. Then the Polynesian Voyaging Society is presented as a case study. Originating during the Hawaiian Renaissance and the surfing community in the early 1970s, the project uses musicking as a catalyst for expressing human engagement with complex environmental and social contexts. It also provides a model for a decolonized future built on resilient, sustainable cultural and resource management.

This chapter suggests some methodological and pedagogical orientations to the project of cultural sustainability. The scholarship of Michael Jackson, Edie Turner, Henry Glassie, and Jeff Todd Titon explores how culture can be existentially sustaining, but often this quality of culture is lost in scholarship and practice. The chapter argues that participation, empathy, and communitas should be cultivated in pedagogy and research methodology. Such an approach recasts the relationship of experts to communities, ways of knowing and communicating, and the ethics of scholarship. Considering well-being and culture from this vantage point suggests factors that are relevant to broader issues in sustainability and have informed the curriculum and philosophy of the Master of Arts in Cultural Sustainability program at Goucher College.

Cultural sustainability as concept and movement is rooted in discourses, practice, and theory drawn from environmental conservation and sustainability. Metaphors from nature and culture are convergent or divergent across semantic domains. This chapter explores metaphors of vulnerability such as endangerment, invasive and exotic, loss and protection, as well as tropes of restoration and recovery such as resilience and forms of intervention through protest, regulation, or stewardship. It also discusses cases in which cultural traditions and environmental conservation are in conflict, exemplified in disputed indigenous whale hunting. The creative tension in folklore studies engaging extinction, emergence and revitalization is further discussed as a foundational disciplinary issue. Intervention in nature through ecosystem engineering or conservation reliance is compared with cultural intervention and protection.

This essay seeks new ways to dismantle barriers between areas of study, practice, and politics, seeking the language and the spaces of imagination within which we can take action. Looking at polyphonic, poly-social musical practices developed by BaAka from Central African Republic, this essay asks how these practices matter to our collective future. What key role might nonfiction poetic narrative storytelling play in spreading knowledge of ecologically sustainable cultural practices? BaAka people have developed sustainable practices, knowing how to sing, dance, and live with the forest and with each other. This essay asks how what they know might be shared through stories about learning and about living, challenging the ever-expanding borders between previously separated realms of personal and intersocial life, the creative, and the scholarly.

This chapter considers the funeral lament as an integral part of larger adaptive process regulating emotions. Sustainability of the lament is understood here in the spirit of Jeff Titon's pioneering approach to sustainability of music cultures. For centuries, the lament retained its capacity to change not only in response to extremely emotional situations and life transformations, but also as a direct channel of their productive management. Ethnographic studies of the lament demonstrate its role both in expressing emotions of grief and in mobilizing social support. By juxtaposing earlier ethnographic studies with new empirical research on the affective heart responses to lament, this chapter offers insight into the lament's role in preventing the physical and cognitive breakdown of the grief-stricken body and thus in sustaining human life.

Alaskans are experiencing rapid economic, cultural, and ecological change as a result of declining oil revenue and anthropogenic climate change. This chapter compares the relative resilience of the Fairbanks Festival of Native Arts, an annual indigenous arts celebration, and the Fairbanks Symphony Orchestra, a Western art music ensemble housed at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The Festival of Native Arts has thrived since the 1970s by sustaining Alaska Native traditions while embracing new performance ideas, a resilience strategy with deep cultural roots based in indigenous knowledge. In contrast, the Western art music ensemble's high level of specialization, cost, declining audience, and colonial legacy call its future into question, particularly when viewed from the perspective of cultural equity and the distribution of limited resources.
