ONLINE LECTURE SERIES
MUSIC, SEXUAL HARASSMENT, RACISM: CONTINUITIES & CHANGE
29 March – 14 June 2022
Critical studies on sexualised and racialised violence have steadily increased in recent decades, but especially since #MeToo and Black Lives Matter power relations are also repeatedly addressed in music. This QUART – Quality of Arts lecture series aims to contribute to this scholarship and activism: It offers recent approaches to the analysis of sexual harassment and racism in the music industries and sheds light on initiatives that foster participation, inclusion, diversity, well-being and fair pay amongst musicians and other cultural workers.

This lecture and discussion are part of the series MUSIC AND SOCIETY IN DISCOURSE and will be held in German language.
Gunnar Otte, Professor for Social Structure Analysis at the Institute of Sociology at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany, will present current results of a large-scale research project that investigates how the German population participates in high and popular arts. Findings relate, among other things, to patterns of cultural behavior according to different living conditions and characteristics of people, to perception and decision-making processes in cultural participation as well as to the perception of cultural infrastructure in urban and rural areas.

PUBLICATIONS
Chaker, Sarah/Petri-Preis, Axel (eds.) (2022): Tuning Up! The Innovative Potential of Musikvermittlung. Book Series Forum Musikvermittlung – Research and Practice, Volume 1. Bielefeld: transcript
Professional musicians who perform in hospitals, retirement homes and prisons, creatively stimulated by the residents; babies crawling over exercise mats, enjoying classical music together with their parents; concert-goers who take their seats between the musicians in order to experience music up close with all their senses – the opportunities to make and experience music are almost unlimited. Various actors in the field of classical music have taken this as a chance to develop a wide range of new artistic and educational practices over the last two decades, aiming to facilitate in-depth aesthetic experiences, to diversify and bond with audiences and to encourage active cultural participation. The contributors focus on the innovative potential of Musikvermittlung as a social bridge-builder for concert life, (higher) music education, research and social life.
