Abstract
The present article describes the approaches of five ensembles specialized in transcultural music-making in the context of contemporary music in Germany, the Netherlands, Uzbekistan and Turkey. While facing similar underlying conceptual and practical challenges in the process of combining different musical traditions and cultural backgrounds, such as the question of how to merge oral and notated traditions, tuning systems or musical perceptions, and their presentational performance practices, each ensemble suggests different strategies of implementation, depending on their political, historical and geographical circumstances.
The article examines the way in which music derives representational functions within processes of affiliation, delimitation, representation and identity construction.

Résumé
Cet article décrit les approches de cinq ensembles spécialisés dans les pratiques musicales transculturelles en Allemagne, aux Pays-Bas, en Ouzbékistan et en Turquie. Tout en rencontrant des défis conceptuels et pratiques similaires dans le processus de combinaison de traditions musicales et de contextes culturels différents – par exemple, la question de la fusion entre les traditions orales et écrites, les systèmes d’accord ou les perceptions musicales, et les modes de présentation – chaque ensemble propose diverses stratégies pour les mettre en oeuvre, tout dépendant de leurs dispositions politiques, historiques et géographiques.
Ce texte examine les façons dont la musique dérive de fonctions représentationnelles dans le cadre de processus d’affiliation, de délimitation, de représentation et de construction identitaire.
