Critical Music Historiography: Probing Canons, Ideologies and Institutions (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Contributors in this edited collection argue that the radical view of the 'impossibility of history', as well as the unavoidable ideology of any history, are counter-productive points of departure for historical scholarship. It is argued that metanarratives in history are still possible but systematized viewpoints and methods for a more critical and multi-faceted re-evaluation of the past through research are needed. The chapters tackle under-researched and non-conventional domains of music history as well as rethinking older historiographical concepts. The result is a challenging collection that stakes out a unique territory for itself among the growing body of work on critical music history.

Autorenporträt

Markus Mantere graduated with a PhD in Music from Brown University, USA. His dissertation scrutinized the music philosophy of the late Canadian pianist Glenn Gould, as well as the impact that Gould's exceptional musicianship has had on later generations of musicians in Canada and the Western musical world. More recently, Mantere's research on the scholarly criticism of music has focused on the intellectual and social history of musicology in Finland. He has also worked as the editor of Musiikki, the only refereed musicological journal in Finland, since 2007. Vesa Kurkela is Professor of Music History at the Sibelius Academy, Helsinki, Finland. He has written extensively on various topics of music history in Finland and elsewhere: popular music, music publishing, nationalism and transnationalism, folk music and ideology, concert institution and orchestral repertoires, radio music, and recording industry.
