In Mumbai the sonic dimensions of place‐making and religious life are deeply connected to the right to the city.

Investigating the sonic aspects of urban pla…[Read more]

Larisa Mann deposited Booming at the Margins: Ethnic Radio, Intimacy, and Nonlinear Innovation in Media in the group
Music and Sound on Humanities Commons 1 year, 3 months ago
Pirate radio still flourishes in dense, multiethnic cities such as Brooklyn, New York, despite the rise of Web radio. For immigrants in particular, radio sounds mark identity and community and (re)claim social spaces of work, commutes, and the home. It is not only lack of access to digital technologies or broadband that shapes radio’s relevance, b…[Read more]

Music and Sound on Humanities Commons 1 year, 6 months ago
Dance music is a medium and social practice that has in some cases functioned as a site of refuge for people and communities whom mainstream society marks “deviant” or “uncivilized.

Jake Johnson deposited Post-Secular Musicals in a Post-Truth World in the group
Music and Sound on Humanities Commons 1 year, 10 months ago
In this chapter, I make two interconnected observations. I first consider how musicals inhabit and promote a ‘post-truth’ worldview similar to those reflected in current populist resurgences throughout the West. I argue that it is musical theater’s penchant for the unreal that in recent decades has given it traction within both secular,…[Read more]

I’m a classically trained composer considering writing a chamber piece about Joan of Arc. I’m looking for information regarding (folk) songs she would have probably been familiar with during the early part of her life – before she began her quest.

In this talk, presented at the Plenary Session of the 2020 Annual Meeting of the Society for Music Theory, I examine the relationship between time, embodiment, and affectivity in music.
