The Globalization of Music (6)

22 February 2010
Lecture 6 : Philosophy & Aesthetics --- the sixth in a series of eight lectures by Dr David R M Irving in the Yusuf Hamied Lecture Theatre, Christ's College, on Mondays at 5 p.m.

 

The Globalization of Music
Origins, Development, & Consequences, c1500-1815

David R. M. Irving is a Junior Research Fellow at Christ's College, Cambridge. His book Colonial Counterpoint: Music in Early Modern Manila is forthcoming from Oxford University Press.

These lectures will address topics relating to intercultural encounter and engagement, negotiations of power, clashes between literate and non-literate musical cultures, and standardization and (in)compatibility of musical practices, in order to question theories of value, to challenge Eurocentric notions of music history, to explore the beginnings of music commodification, and to provide a radically new assessment of the origins, development, and consequences of the early modern globalization of music.
