Voices of Identities
European history has rarely met changes as rapid, dense and radical as those that have taken place in the regions of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire over the past hundred years. This cultural area has experienced political conflicts, the setting and dissolution of borders, and the construction of similarities, differences, and ever-new identities. Being tied to text, vocal music genres reflect such changes especially strongly. Operas and operettas, oratorios and cantatas, choir music, folksongs, and pop and rock hits have all helped to establish identities in many ways, connecting people on national, ethnical, local or social levels. The contributions to this volume represent the proceedings of the Annual Congress of the Austrian Society for Musicology (Österreichische Gesellschaft für Musikwissenschaft – ÖGMw) in 2014. They open multiple perspectives on the identity-relevant implications of every kind of vocal music from the last days of the Habsburg Empire to the present day. As such, the book places the extensively discussed concept of Nationalism in music in the wider context of identity building.
The Oxford Handbook of the Global Stage Musical
In response to the rapid growth of musical theatre as a global phenomenon, The Oxford Handbook of the Global Stage Musical offers new scholarly approaches to issues arising from these new international markets. The thirty-three essays highlight major aspects of the genre, such as the dominance of Western colonialism in its early production and dissemination, racism and sexism--both in representation and in the industry itself--as well as current conflicts between global and local interests in postmodern cultures.

Hearing is Believing
Über Jahrzehnte war das Radio das aktuellste und zudem das einzige Live-Nachrichten-Medium. (Staatliche) Grenzen kannte der Rundfunk nicht und die politischen Machthaber wussten dies bestmöglich zu nutzen. Der Band gibt Einblick in interdisziplinäre Forschungsarbeiten zur Radiogeschichte. Die Beiträge erörtern die Rolle des Hörfunks bei der Konstruktion neuer und alter nationaler, sozialer, kultureller und religiöser Identitäten. Der Einfluss einzelner Radiomacher*innen auf die Gestaltung der Programme wird thematisiert, wie auch die politischen und gesellschaftlichen Dynamiken, die manche Radiosendungen auslösten. Schließlich werden auch Parallelen der Medienlogik und Mediennutzun...
