Free Webinar | Music, Empire, Colonialism: Sounding the Archives

What can ‘the archive’ tell us about the uneven sounds and silences of empire and colonialism across the long nineteenth and twentieth centuries? Amidst these intricacies of historical hearing, how do postcolonial musicologists working with archival sources tune in and position their work today with new aural sensibilities?

Join Philip Burnett (University of York), Erin Johnson-Williams (University of Southampton), and Yvonne Liao (The Chinese University of Hong Kong) for a fascinating and provocative talk, ‘Music, Empire, and Colonialism: Sounding the Archives’ on Tuesday 28 November at 6:00 pm, as part of their current guest-edited special issue in Postcolonial Studies.
