As Dr MacGregor writes, Weill’s symphonic reception provoked a question about 'the "right" kind of symphonic composer' and 'the complicity of the symphonic genre in shaping the boundaries of hegemonic groups and value systems... Symphonies and the written discourse around them can illuminate colliding and changing political notions of selfhood and of space in the transnational contexts of the early 1930s, thus suggesting new directions for scholarship on the symphonic genre... I explore in different settings how the symphonic genre is embroiled in mechanisms that policed (and still police) ideas about subjectivity, constructions of race, and the politics of inclusion and community'.
See you on the 17th.
