Call for Papers
The University of Manchester and Royal Holloway, University of London
invite proposals for papers to be delivered at an International
Conference concerning Music in German-Occupied Nations from1938 to 1945.
Following on from their entry into Austria and the Sudetenland in the late
1930s, the Germans pursued a policy of cultural imperialism in the
countries they occupied during the Second World War. As a result, almost
all music institutions in the occupied lands came under direct German
control, or were subject to severe scrutiny and censorship from the
occupying forces. It remains a moot point as to what extent Nazi policies
infiltrated the musical fabric of these nations and how effectively
musicians complied with, or resisted such impositions.
The conference proposes to explore these issues, as well as consider the
degree to which German cultural imperialism impacted upon countries that
were part of the Axis (Italy, Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia), had established
close diplomatic relations with Germany (Spain, Portugal and from 1939 to
1941, the Soviet Union) or ostensibly remained neutral (Sweden, Switzerland
and Finland) during this period. In addition, we hope to reflect on the
post-war implications of German occupation on the musical environment in
Europe.
Proposals (no more than 200 words) on these and other related topics should
be submitted to Joanne Bolland [log in to unmask] no
later than 31st October 2014.
Results will be announced mid-November and a full programme will be
published at the beginning of December.
