Appel à contributions pour le numéro spécial « Urban Desires. Music and Nostalgia » de Nineteenth-Century Music Review, sous la dir. de Lola San Martín Arbide (New Europe College, Institute for Advanced Study, Bucarest).

« We seek contributions that explore the harmonies and discrepancies between history and memory studies (Huyssen 2003). What does nostalgia tell us about the construction of collective memory and identities? What kind of musical cartography does the study of musical cities unveil and how does it build on our knowledge of the geography of nostalgia (Bonnett 2016)? We also hope that the study of the paths of cultural transfer and nostalgic itineraries of different cities will nuance the eurocentrism behind the widespread belief that ‘Greece is where it all begun’ (Shohat and Stam 1994). Do nostalgic artefacts improve our capacity to better reconstruct the soundscapes and musicscapes of the pre-sound recording era? This call seeks submissions that intersect nostalgia, music and urban cultural studies from a wide methodological perspective and broad disciplinary grounds focusing on the long nineteenth century; the issue is not limited to any specific geographical area. »
