Appel de conférences du colloque « Music, Sound, and Race in German-Speaking Cultures », 48e colloque annuel de la German Studies Association, Atlanta, 26-29 septembre 2024.
« The last decade has seen a wealth of scholarship exploring the intersections of music, sound, and race broadly (Eidsheim 2019; Stoever 2016; Robinson 2020; Morrison 2024) and also in German-speaking cultures (Móricz 2008; Wipplinger 2017; Layne 2018, Thurman 2021). These interventions, building on diverse interdisciplinary perspectives including Black Studies, Jewish Studies, and Indigenous Studies, have drawn attention to the ways that racial hierarchies are not only visualized but also heard and sounded. Indeed, by exploring the construction of the “sonic color line” in German culture, that is, the processes by which “certain bodies are expected to produce, desire, and live amongst particular sounds” and the way that listening practices conform to these norms (Stoever 2016), these studies have revealed how theories about racial otherness have been mapped onto concepts of harmony and dissonance, music and noise, and been used to stigmatize timbres and styles of vocalization. »
