North-South Interchanges: Collaborations, Tensions, Hybridizations
UNESP, Instituto de Artes, São Paulo - Brazil
19-21 September 2018
Organized by
UNESP (State University of São Paulo) – Instituto de Artes, São Paulo (Brazil)

The relations between the music made in South America, and that made in Europe, and in North America has been characterized at times by efforts to approach, some others times by rejection, many times resulting in peculiar hybrids. These same relations reflect in music criticism and in aesthetics, sometimes reinforcing the similarities, sometimes invoking the differences, or even having to deal with musical phenomena for which no specific vocabulary has been invented yet. We part from the argument proposed by Joseph Kerman, «repertories are determined by performers, and canons by critics» (‘A Few Canonic Variations’, in: Critical Inquiry, x/1, Canons [Sep. 1983], pp. 107-125), evoking the strength of the discursive network that develops around musical creation, performance, and its aesthetics. This conference intends to explore the rich and multifarious relations between music-making — understood in a very broad sense — and music criticism and aesthetics that, in some way, deal with or reflect the North-South relations.
The programme committee encourages submissions within the following areas, although other topics are also welcome:
• The reception of European and North-American music in South America;
• The reception of South-American music in Europe and in North America;
• Nationalisms and the adaptation / rejection of foreign models in Music Criticism;
