Musical Modernism in Global Perspective
Cambridge University Press (Verlag)
978-1-009-49170-9 (ISBN)
In the first study of the global dimensions of musical modernism, Björn Heile proposes a novel theory according to which musical modernism is constituted by a global diasporic network of composers, musicians and institutions. In a series of historical and analytical case studies from different parts of the world, this book overcomes the respective limitations of both Eurocentric and postcolonial, revisionist accounts, focusing instead on the transnational entanglements between the West and other world regions. Key topics include migration, the transnational reception and transfer of musical works and ideas, institutions such as the International Society for Contemporary Music (ISCM) and composers who are rarely discussed in Western academia, such as the Nigerian-born Akin Euba and the Korean-German Younghi Pagh-Paan. Influenced by the interdisciplinary notion of 'entangled histories', Heile critiques established dichotomies, all the while highlighting the unequal power relations on which the existing global order is founded.
Björn Heile is Professor of Music (post-1900) at the University of Glasgow. Among his previous books are The Music of Mauricio Kagel (2006), The Modernist Legacy: Essays on New Music (editor, 2009), Watching Jazz (co-editor, 2016) and The Routledge Research Companion to Modernism in Music (co-editor, 2019).
