CUHK-NTU MUSIC FORUM 2009: “Glocalization, Music, and Modernity”
2-3 Jan. 2009 (Friday and Saturday)
The neologism glocalization has been employed in recent years by scholars who want to draw attention to the ways in which global and local forces act upon and interact with one another in the ongoing development of social and cultural paradigms. This forum will explore the processes of glocalization as they impact music, bringing to the fore questions concerning the role of music in the promotion of both diversity and homogeneity alongside the forces of modernization. No single approach is able to account fully for the multivalent nature of glocal processes, and so this forum invites participants employing any analytical or interpretive method with the intention of fostering creative exchange and criticism.
