Description

The social and political upheavals that accompany revolutions usually also have a significant impact on the entire field of Music and Drama. This shows only too clearly how closely musical practice, repertoire, compositional aesthetics, performance venues and audiences are linked to political systems. The functions and effects of music are manifold. It often serves as a means of agitation and dissent, for example in revolutionary songs. It becomes the musical symbol of movements, serves as an instrument of representation through committed compositions or encourages dissent. The seminar explores these connections and aims for a global perspective.

Literature

Suitable literature will be announced in the seminar.
