The field is therefore characterised by its breadth in theory and method, its interdisciplinary nature and its global perspective. Ethnography may be synthesised with a variety of analytical, historical and other methodologies, often entering into dialogue with other disciplinary areas such as music psychology, music education, historical musicology, performance studies, critical theory, dance, folkore and linguistics.
In this book, Bina not only shares her findings, her perception, the scores and visual expression of the selected lullabies.
This collection finally led to the creation of a book, called Iranian Lullabies in 2009. Typically, ethnographies aim for a broad assessment of the processes and contexts through and within which music is imagined, discussed and made. While pursuing Iranian folksongs, Sima Bina often came across a variety of ethnic lullabies which she added to her collected works. The articles published in Ethnomusicology Forum often emphasise first-hand, sustained engagement with people as music makers, taking the form of ethnographic writing following one or more periods of fieldwork. Ethnomusicology is defined broadly as the study of "people making music", encompassing the study of all musics, including Western art music and popular musics. The BFE's journal Ethnomusicology Forum (formerly known as the British Journal of Ethnomusicology) is a peer-reviewed journal published twice a year (in June and November), that seeks to provide a dynamic forum for the presentation of new thinking in the field of ethnomusicology.
