Romani people in the European imaginary have served as an “Ontological Other,” in post-Enlightenment thought. Against a backdrop of centuries of racialization this talk asks: How might sound and music help to “augment” a Romani subjectivity that is informed by this racialized abjection? How might sound recuperate subjectivities stifled through the dehumanization of racialization? By reframing the exclusionary processes of Othering as a way of being and sounding “Otherwise” — beyond the negative interpellations and subjectification of post-Enlightenment modernity — Ioanida Costache, assistant professor of ethnomusicology in the Department of Music and affiliate of the Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity at Stanford University, engages Roma music and sound as a space to perform repair from the alienation racialization begets.
