Abstract

My thinking on the topic of the intersection of fiddle music and dance is shaped by ideas about art and utility which for me also affects how I view ‘tradition’. In discussing these terms I speak mainly from the perspective of my research in Canada’s Maritime Provinces, particularly New Brunswick. Since I believe that ethnographic scholarship, built on the principle of participant observation, rests upon a foundation of self-knowledge, I open each
section with personal history. I begin with fiddlers.
