The 8th International Symposium of the Department of Musicology and Ethnomusicology (Faculty of Music, University of Arts in Belgrade) will be dedicated towards

Musical culture and memory (Belgrade, April 11-14, 2006)

The two issues in the title - CULTURE and MEMORY - are intermingled: culture is considered collective memory, designated by united geographical or linguistic space and, therefore, undoubtedly connected with tradition.

The first preliminary program was published here (and also on Kakanien revisited [.pdf]). Now there are some significant changes (especially regarding the contributions), so here's the programm up to date ...

The two issues in the title of the conference - culture and memory - are intermingled: culture is considered collective memory, designated by united geographical or linguistic space and, therefore, undoubtedly connected with tradition. The emphasis on musical culture and memory shows both the ideological and methodological orientation towards new or cultural musicology instead of traditional musicology based on the idea of autonomy of a work of art, or composition. Thus, music has its significant place in socio-political research, in the process of (re)defining cultural memory through political strategies in the conception of repertoire, or in the organization of musical life. In that context, multi/inter/national culture can be profiled in semiotical (by constituting mechanisms and its recognizable codes) and postsemiotical, or poststructural ways (cultural studies). Intertextual relations between different cultures includes processes of migration, acculturation, in which music has an important role as a signifer of national identity. Beside music itself, the world around and about music,
embodied in writings on music - historiography, musicology - is also in the focus of the attention at the conference in a given theoretical coordinates.
The question of musical memory can be also answered from the point of view of preserving music material in the multimedia archives, or of the psychology of music.
