The Bloomsbury Handbook of Music and Art, Hardback Book

Hardback

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 activist activities?

How do socio-economic and environmental problems affect 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.
