• Summer School on “Music, Multiculturalism and the Postcolonial Condition,” Helsinki 3-4 July 2017. Deadline: March 1, 2017. Description: As global migration alters societal and cultural conditions, musical practices and environments transmute. The global postcolonial condition is indeed clearly visible and audible in myriad forms of music that evince the pervasiveness of racialisation, parochialism and banal nationalism, while at the same celebrating creative hybridity, multicultural authenticities and cultural encounters. Music provides a rich source and platform for postcolonial studies not only because of its identity politics but also on the grounds of its political economy, as demonstrated by the central role of music in global cultural industries and transnational labour arrangements.To address these issues, as well as any other aspect of music and postcolonial studies, doctoral candidates working with relevant topics are hereby invited to participate in a summer school.

We are therefore interested in reflecting on the role of music and its different exponents (performers, composers, students, listeners, agents, etc.) in contexts of both current and past crises. Accepted works will relate music to at least one of the following streams |Keep reading… |Continue lendo… |Continúe leyendo…|
