Postmodernism in contemporary Australian art-music: analysis and reappraisal

澳大利亚的艺术音乐创作是充满活力和多样化的，但它与其他艺术实践的当前趋势的关系还没有得到很好的理解，音乐评论家和教育家经常对后现代音乐创新不屑一顾。该项目将首次从音乐学和文化研究的角度对澳大利亚艺术音乐中后现代主义的出现和批判接受进行持续分析。它将制作自1968年科维尔的“澳大利亚音乐”以来第一本关于澳大利亚艺术音乐的专题书籍，为音乐评论家，学者和教育工作者提供标准参考和宝贵的教育资源，同时将澳大利亚置于当前关于后现代音乐的国际辩论中

Art-music composition in Australia is vibrant and diverse but its relationship with current trends in other art practices has not been well understood, and music critics and educators have too often been dismissive of musical innovation of the postmodern kind. This project will be the first sustained analysis of the emergence and critical reception of postmodernism in Australian art-music, from the linked perspectives of musicology and cultural studies. It will produce the first thematic book on Australian art-music since Covell's 1968 'Australia's Music', providing a standard reference and valuable education resource for music critics, scholars and educators while locating Australia in current international debates about postmodern music
