Description

This volume brings together prominent scholars, artists, composers, and directors to present the latest interdisciplinary ideas and projects in the fields of art history, musicology, and multi-media practice. Organized around ways of perceiving, experiencing and creating, the book outlines the state of the field through cutting-edge research case studies. For example, how does art-music practice / thinking communicate for or about activist activities How do socio-economic and environmental problems effect access to heritage How do contemporary practitioners interpret past works and what global concerns stimulate new works In each instance, examples of cross or inter-media works are not thought of in isolation but in a global historical context that shows our cultural existence to be complex, conflicted, and entwined. For the first time cross-disciplinary collaborations in ethnomusicology-anthropology; ecomusicology-ecoart-ecomuseology; and digital humanities for art history, musicology, and practice are prioritized in one volume.
