Transcript Verlag Music – Media – History – Re–Thinking Musicology
Book SynopsisMusic and sound shape the emotional content of audio-visual media and carry different meanings. This volume considers audio-visual material as a primary source for historiography. By analyzing how the same sounds are used in different media contexts at different times, the contributors intend to challenge the linear perspective of (music) history based on canonic authority. The book discusses AV-Documents (analysis in context), methodological questions (implications for research, education, and popularization of knowledge), archives of cultural memory (from the perspective of Cultural Studies) as well as digitalization and its consequences (organization of knowledge).

Transcript Verlag Music and Democracy – Participatory Approaches
Book SynopsisMusic and Democracy explores music as a resource for societal transformation processes. This book provides recent insights into how individuals and groups used and still use music to achieve social, cultural, and political participation and bring about social change.

The volume further features approaches in the fields of gender, migration, disability, and digitalization.Table of ContentsAmbivalences in Music and Democracy: Introductory Remarks; Part 1: From Recorded Democracy to Digital Participation? Part 2: Political Impacts of Bourgeois Music Culture; Part 3: (Non‐)Democratic Participation in Popular Music and Performance Cultures; Part 4: Sonic Implications of Political Changes.

Transcript Verlag The Discourse Community of Electronic Dance Music
Book SynopsisResearch on electronic dance music communities has been initiated by scholars in the fields of sociology, cultural studies, public health research and others. Linguistic aspects, however, are rarely considered. Anita Jóri fills this gap of research and suggests a new perspective by looking at these communities as a discourse community. She gives an overview of the language use and discourse characteristics of this community while applying a mixed methodology of linguistic discourse analysis and cultural studies. The book is aimed at researchers and students in the fields of applied linguistics, popular music, media, communication and cultural studies.Table of ContentsAcknowledgement; List of Abbreviations; Introduction; Theoretical Investigation; Research Aims and Questions; Methods; Analysis; Summary of Analysis and Research Findings; Final Conclusions and Future Considerations; References; Sources of Linguistic Data; Attachments.

Transcript Verlag Hearing Sexism: Gender in the Sound of Popular
Book SynopsisIf pictures can be sexist, can analysing sound reveal sexism, too? Where is the language to discuss sexism in music? L.J. Müller tackles these important questions in their 2018 German book titled Sound und Sexismus, which was awarded the IASPM 2019 book prize. Analysing the voices of Kurt Cobain, Kate Bush, Björk and others, Müller demonstrates how gender is performed vocally and interacts with gendered aspects of embodiment and affect. The book is written from a strongly positioned and personal feminist perspective and is appealing to readers from various backgrounds -- singers, producers, music lovers, as well as academics and anyone with an interest in feminist takes on pop culture.

Transcript Verlag Postcolonial Repercussions: On Sound Ontologies
Book SynopsisCan sound be perceived independently of its social dimension? Or is it always embedded in a discursive network? POSTCOLONIAL REPERCUSSIONS explores these questions in form of a collective conversation. The contributors have collected sound stories and sound knowledge from Brazil to Morocco, listened to resonances from the Underground and the Pacific Ocean, from Popular Music and speech recognition. The anthology gathers heterogeneous approaches to emancipatory forms of ontological listening as well as pleas for critical fabulation and a practice of care. It tells us about opportunities, perspectives and the (im)possibility of decolonised listening.Table of ContentsInstead of an Editorial; A Conversation on Race, Sound, and the Im/possibility of Decolonised Listening; Playing it Back. Critical Reflections on Curating Sound; "offensichtlich unbegründet": a work in progress meditation on sonic biometry, migration and the archive; From a Postmodernist Sound to a Decolonized Dancefloor. From Glitch to Deconstructed Club Music; Meandering Feuilleton Essay about two concerts that I did not see. Or: About how I read Hall, Mignolo and Walsh instead because I want to write an article for an anthology on Decolonizing Arts and think about whether it is possible to decolonialize Popular Music; (Post) Colonial Streaming: The Social Reproduction of Listening and Deafness in the Anthropocene; Buried in the Colonial Graveyard? Indigenous Sound Ontologies, Repatriation and the Ethics of Curating Ethnographic Sounds; Tangier 1999. In search of authenticity. Paul Bowles longs for something and insists on its existence; Passageways of Knowing. Music, Movement, Reconnection; Authors; List of Illustrations.

Museum Tusculanum Press A due: Musical Essays in Honour of John D
Book SynopsisText in English, Danish & German. On 19 April 2008, professor John D Bergsagel celebrated his 80th birthday, and three weeks later -- on 8 May -- Professor Heinrich W Schwab attained the age of 70. The Department of Musicology at the University of Copenhagen and The Royal Library have decided to acknowledge the excellence of these two scholars by a double Festschrift, A due. Both have been working at the Music Department of the University of Copenhagen and have collaborated with The Royal Library on various projects. This publication contains contributions from 44 colleagues, who thus -- in topics covering the period from the Middle Ages to the present day -- give their voice in the honouring of the two scholars for their musical scholarship. As it may be seen from the table of contents, the publication covers a broad range both in time and in topics, which are all included in the scholarly sphere of Bergsagel and Schwab.

Peeters Publishers Koptische Liturgische Melodien: Die Relation
Book SynopsisDer vorliegende Band ist eine Arbeit zu musikalischen Aspekten der Koptischen Liturgie, die Musik der christlichen Gemeinschaft Agyptens. Die Musik einer der altesten christlichen Kulturen wird in der koptologischen sowie musikologischen Literatur nur wenig erwahnt und oft sogar ganz weggelassen. Aus den reichhaltigen Melodien der koptischen liturgischen Musik wurden die Melodien der Psalmodia gewahlt zu Analysen und musikalischen Transkriptionen. Die verschiedenen kirchlichen Festtage kennzeichnen sich durch verschiedene Melodien auf denselben Texten. Die Arbeit ist dreiteilig und besteht im ersten Teil aus einer kurzen Ubersicht uber die koptische Musikgeschichte, einer Einfuhrung in das nachtlichen Ritual Psalmodia mit ihren verschiedenen Auffuhrungen, aus Gesprachen mit Teilnehmern an dem Ritual Psalmodia, einer Literaturubersicht und Notationsbeispielen zeitgenossischer Ausfuhrenden. Der zweite Teil enthalt die Analysen der verschiedenen Festtagsmelodien, die in der Psalmodia zur Verwendung kommen. Verschiedene Interpretationen werden miteinander verglichen. Auffallend an den Analysen sind die musikalischen Formeln aus denen die verschiedenen Melodien wie mit farbigen Mosaiksteinen zusammengestellt sind und die Positionen an denen sie in den Melodien gefunden wurden. Im dritten Teil befinden sich die Transkriptionen der analysierten Melodien in westlicher Musiknotation. Auf einer dazu gefugten CD ist eine Auswahl der Gesange zu horen, wobei historische Aufnahmen abgewechselt werden mit Aufnahmen wahrend der Zeremonien oder mit Tonbandern, die Kantoren fur ihre Studenten zu Studienzwecken aufgenommen haben.

Peeters Publishers Le musique des Wolof du Sénégal (régions de
Book SynopsisLa musique vocale des Wolof, population majoritaire au Sénégal, est ici présentée à travers une étude comparative fondée sur les chants collectés entre 1950 et 2006, dans les trois régions traditionnelles - le Kajoor, le Saalum et le Waalo. L'inventaire de ces chants, leur analyse et leur catégorisation vernaculaire permettent d'éclairer la manière dont les Wolof ordonnent leur patrimoine musical. L'organologie, l'étude de la systématique et ses liens avec les circonstances de la pratique musicale, ainsi que la comparaison de diverses versions d'un même chant enrégistrées dans ces trois régions à des époques différentes, conduisent l'auteur à valider l'hypothèse d'une seule et même identité musicale wolof. Une telle approche - à la fois diachronique et synchronique - offre un éclairage sur les changements historiques et sociaux qui ont fortement influencé le statut et le rôle du musicien professionnel, le gewel, depuis l'époque des royaumes précoloniaux jusqu'à nos jours.
