Performance, Subjectivity, and Experimentation
2020 || Paperback || Catherine Laws || Leuven University Press
Music reflects subjectivity and identity: that idea is now deeply ingrained in both musicology and popular media commentary. The study of music across cultures and practices often addresses the enactment of subjectivity “in” music – how music expresses or represents “an” individual or “a” group. However, a sense of selfhood is also formed and continually reformed through musical practices, not least performance. How does this take place? How might the work of practitioners revea...

Machinic Assemblages of Desire
Deleuze and Artistic Research
2021 || Paperback || Paulo De Assis e.a. || Leuven University Press
The concept of assemblage has emerged in recent decades as a central tool for describing, analysing, and transforming dynamic systems in a variety of disciplines. Coined by Deleuze and Guattari in relation to different fields of knowledge, human practices, and nonhuman arrangements, “assemblage” is variously applied today in the arts, philosophy, and human and social sciences, forming links not only between disciplines but also between critical thought and artistic practice.

Melodic Variation in Northern Low Countries Chant Manuscripts
1150-1600

Nederland en Beethoven
2020 || Paperback || Emanuel Overbeeke || Uitgeverij Prominent || met inkijkexemplaar
De wereld staat in 2020 uitgebreid stil bij het 250ste geboortejaar van Beethoven. Voor Emanuel Overbeeke was dat aanleiding om een boek te schrijven over de betekenis van deze componist voor de cultuur in Nederland sinds 1800. In die 250 jaar is Nederland sterk veranderd en het beeld dat men van Beethoven had, veranderde mee. Daarom is de Beethovenreceptie ook een spiegel van de tijd. ‘Nederland en Beethoven’ gaat daarom niet alleen over een van de grootste componisten aller tijden, maar...
