CALL FOR PAPERS - Music, Nation and Region in the Iberian Peninsula:
(Re)Sounding History, Identity and Heritage
22–23 June 2017, University of Cambridge
In the twenty-first century, scholarly debate regarding national vis-à-vis
regional identities in the Iberian Peninsula has returned centre stage.
Despite the pressures of globalisation that many believed would phase out
the importance of the nation state and national belonging, the display of
territorial identities has become more prominent across Europe. Music plays
a powerful role in nationalism, functioning as a tool for state-level
cultural policy and displays of national patrimony, as well as a political
vehicle for the negotiation of national narratives. The historical legacy
and contemporary resurgence of nationalisms and regionalisms in the Iberian
Peninsula (including the islands of Portugal and Spain) has influenced the
ways in which music is politicised and harnessed as a symbol of identity,
collective memory and nostalgia. Moreover, the recent impact of
international heritage policy, particularly through UNESCO’s Convention for
the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, has
strengthened the cultural and political significance of music especially at
an institutional level bringing into question the ways in which musical
ownership and value are negotiated. Finally, increased immigration in the
Iberian Peninsula has diversified musical practice complicating the
relationship between music and nation in increasingly multicultural
societies.
The committee welcomes papers that address the symposium’s themes from a
historical or a contemporary, ethnographic perspective. Submissions are
invited that challenge or revisit established paradigms in Iberian music
studies, addressing the following or related areas:
• Rethinking music and nationalism in the Iberian Peninsula both past
and present
• Music and state-level cultural policy
• Music and regionalism
• Contesting the state: music as a political weapon
• Music and UNESCO’s Convention for the Safeguarding of the
Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity: safeguarding processes, musical
ownership, politics
• Collective memory and nostalgia in musical practice and discourse
• Music on and across border regions
• Music, diaspora and immigration in national/regional contexts
Presentations will be in the form of independent papers (20 minutes +
10-minute discussion) and potential speakers should submit a 300-word
abstract plus a short biography to [log in to unmask] It is hoped
that there will be an edited publication of selected papers from the
symposium. For more information, please see the symposium website:
