Patriotism and Nationalism in Music Education
Music has long served as an emblem of national identity in educational systems throughout the world. Patriotic songs are commonly considered healthy and essential ingredients of the school curriculum, nurturing the respect, loyalty and 'good citizenship' of students. But to what extent have music educators critically examined the potential benefits and costs of nationalism? Globalization in the contemporary world has revolutionized the nature of international relationships, such that patriotism may merit rethinking as an objective for music education. The fields of 'peace studies' and 'education for international understanding' may better reflect current values shared by the profession, values that often conflict with the nationalistic impulse. This is the first book to introduce an international dialogue on this important theme; nations covered include Germany, the USA, South Africa, Australia, Finland, Taiwan, Singapore and Canada.
Who's Who in Research: Performing Arts
Increasingly, academic communities transcend national boundaries. “Collaboration between researchers across space is clearly increasing, as well as being increasingly sought after,” noted the online magazine Inside Higher Ed in a recent article about research in the social sciences and humanities. Even for those scholars who don’t work directly with international colleagues, staying up-to-date and relevant requires keeping up with international currents of thought in one’s field. But when one’s colleagues span the globe, it’s not always easy to keep track of who’s who—or what kind of research they’re conducting. That’s where Intellect’s new series comes in. A set of wor...
Critical Music Historiography: Probing Canons, Ideologies and Institutions
During the past two decades, there has emerged a growing need to reconsider the objects, axioms and perspectives of writing music history. A certain suspicion towards Francois Lyotard’s grand narratives, as a sign of what he diagnosed as our ’postmodern condition’, has become more or less an established and unquestioned point of departure among historians. This suspicion, at its most extreme, has led to a radical conclusion of the ’end of history’ in the work of postmodern scholars such as Jean Baudrillard and Francis Fukuyama. The contributors to Critical Music Historiography take a step back and argue that the radical view of the ’impossibility of history’, as well as the una...
Spuren der Begegnung
Vor der Epoche des (hoch-)imperialistischen Zugriffs auf Afrika war eine Reise in das Binnenland des Kontinents für Europäer ein risikoreiches Unterfangen. Dennoch nahmen gebildete Reisende seit der Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts die Unsicherheiten eines Vorstoßes in Nordost-, West- oder Südafrika auf sich, um der interessierten gelehrten Öffentlichkeit in ihrer Heimat darüber berichten zu können. Sie publizierten umfassende Reisenarrationen, die zur Erweiterung des Wissens auf unterschiedlichsten Feldern beitragen sollten. Dabei bildete die individuelle Reiseerfahrung mit ihren spezifischen Verunsicherungen einen »roten Faden«, an den vielfältige Erkenntnisse angeknüpft wurden. Anke ...
