1932MUSCON: Beyond 1932: Rethinking Musical Modernity in the Middle East and North Africa

总结：该项目调查了1932年开罗阿拉伯音乐大会（以下简称“1932”或“大会”），以重新定位音乐在MENA（中东和北非/n）地区的后殖民现代性的人文和社会科学理解。会议是后奥斯曼世界最大的音乐家和音乐学家聚会，30年前就引起了音乐学的关注，但此后就很少了。它仍然被理解为标志着中东和北非音乐传统的结束和深刻妥协的现代性的开始的事件。这个跨学科的项目，检查它的过去和它的遗产，并从事，通过驻地，当代音乐表演，提出了一个不同的问题。除了反应之外，它实际上在整个地区引发了什么？其遗产的哪些方面仍未得到承认，为什么？它还有什么未来--知识的、制度的和文化的？

Summary: the project investigates the 1932 Cairo Arab Music Congress (henceforth simply either '1932' or 'the Congress') in order to reposition music in both humanistic and social scientific understandings of postcolonial modernity in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa/n) region. The Congress, the largest gathering of musicians and musicologists in the post-Ottoman world, engaged musicological attention thirty years ago, but very little since. It continues to be understood as an event marking the end of MENA musical tradition and the beginning of a deeply compromised modernity. This interdisciplinary project, examining both its past and its legacy, and engaging, through residencies, contemporary musical performance, poses a different question. What - beyond reaction - did it actually set in motion across the region? What aspects of its legacy remain unrecognized, and why? What futures - intellectual, institutional and cultural - does it still have?
