            Abstrakt

            Drawing from scholarship on play, ritual, and performance, I propose that Czech bluegrass 
            does my fieldwork – in a state of in-betweenness, in a territory that is between work, pla
            there, self and other. Being comfortable with this kind of in-between state is important f

            and for music-making – play, I find, is both a central activity and metaphor in both. The 
            discuss in this essay can become a response to the encroachment of Americanization in econ
            globalization, but also a way of being “Americanist” – and entirely Czech.
