Not a politician. I would call him a kind of scientist, but he didn’t deal with natural science. I’m actually not sure if you call it humanities or social science. The theories and methods are taken from both.

You’re very close. Both cultural anthropology, cultural studies and sociology are parts of this discipline.

Yes. But he didn’t live to be 90.

Hint: I learned about this guy when I studied musicology.

No, he was not.

I realise that this is a difficult person to find, so I’ll give you a better hint: He was a folklorist and ethnomusicologist.

It's so obvious now I've found him.

Alan Lomax.

A cultural icon within the folk music realm.

Alan Lomax is correct, James.

Clap

Did he die in 1900 or later?
