Perspectives on Greek Musical Modernism: Ashgate Studies in Theory and Analysis of Music After 1900
Editat de Eva Mantzourani, Costas Tsougras, Petros Vouvarisen Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 mar 2025
The volume contributes to ongoing discussions about aesthetic modernism in general and the epistemological issues that pertain to its historiography, especially with respect to challenging the centre-periphery dichotomy that has previously informed its conceptual framework. The book strikes a balance between offering thematically focused contributions and serving as a reference source for scholars interested in looking more thoroughly into unexamined or overlooked aspects of musical modernism. To do so, it encompasses a variety of case studies, presented in a series of thirteen chapters that cover a wide array of methodological approaches, from historical and critical to analytical and philosophical. These chapters are organised along the lines of a historical narrative that traces the reception of musical modernism in Greece, ranging from downright rejection during the mid-war period to affirmative institutionalisation in the post-war years.
In this context, the book will interest not only musicians, musicologists, and music theorists, but also cultural historians and other scholars involved in studying the emergence, development, and dissemination of modernism worldwide.
