New musicology

The New Musicology is a term applied to a wide body of work produced by many musicologists who consider themselves and their musicology neither new or New. Often based on the work of Theodor Adorno (and Walter Benjamin) and feminist, gender studies, or postcolonial hypotheses, the New Musicology is the cultural study, analaysis, and criticism of music. As Susan McClary says, "musicology fastidiously declares issues of musical signification off-limits to those engaged in legitimate scholarship."

Thus, new musicology has much in common with ethnomusicology.
