Kurt Blaukopf on Music Sociology - an Anthology : 2nd Unrevised Edition, Hardback Book

Kurt Blaukopf on Music Sociology - an Anthology : 2nd Unrevised Edition Hardback

Edited by Tasos Zembylas

Part of the Musik Und Gesellschaft series

Hardback

Description

This anthology contains seven texts by Kurt Blaukopf (1914–1999) that exemplify the sociological and epistemological position of this pioneer of Austrian music sociology.

Blaukopf’s efforts were aimed at a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach and analysis of music as a cultural phenomenon and as social practice.

The primary aim of this anthology is to make Blaukopf’s work better known in the English-speaking world.

It offers the interested reader a fruitful analysis of the relation between music sociology and its sister disciplines, e.g. musicology, a solid analysis in terms of the philosophy of science on the possibilities and limits of music sociology, and a highly topical discussion about the significance of intrinsic artistic aspects in music sociology.
