Appel de conférences pour le colloque « Musical Nationbuilding and Cultural Exchange in Interwar France and Australia », Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, University of Melbourne, 2-3 août 2024.
« We want to consider the central question: How did transnational musical exchange affect attempts at national identity formation in France and/or Australia?
Possible themes include (but are not limited to):
- Exchange of performers, musical objects (eg. scores, recordings), musical ideas, musical instruments and how this might interact with nationbuilding processes
- How musical exchange processes might have been impacted by shifting international relations post-WWI.
- How the musical world dealt with tensions between internationalist efforts and nationalist aims, and the conflicting ideas of music as a national/universal art.
- Attempts (successful or not) to rebuild pre-war musical cultures in postwar societies
- The effect of the impending World War II on musical exchange and musical encounters
- Musical networks and their interaction with the development of national musical identities
- The contribution of the press to discussions and debates around music, cultural exchange and national identity »
