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.
This lecture is part of the MUSIC AND SOCIETY IN DISCOURSE series and will be held in German language.

PUBLICATIONS
Abfalter, Dagmar / Reitsamer, Rosa (eds.) (2022): Music as Labour: Inequalities and Activism in the Past and Present. London: Routledge
This book brings together research at the intersection of music, cultural industries, management, antiracist politics and gender studies to analyse music as labour, in particular highlighting social inequalities and activism.
Providing insights into labour processes and practices, the authors investigate the changing role of manifold actors, institutions and technologies and the corresponding shifts in the valuation and evaluation of music achievements that have shaped the relationship between music, labour, the economy and politics. With research into a variety of geographic regions, chapters shed light on the various ways by which musicians’ work is performed, constructed and managed at different times and show that musicians’ working practices have been marked by precarity, insecurity and short-term contracts long before capitalism invited everybody to ‘be creative’. In doing so, they specifically examine the dynamics in music professions and educational institutions, as well as gatekeepers and mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion.
With a specific emphasis on inequalities in the music industries, this book will be essential reading for scholars seeking to understand the collective actions and initiatives that foster participation, inclusion, diversity and fair pay amongst musicians and other workers.

Kahle, Ina (2022): Populärkultur und sozialökologische Transformation: Potenziale einer reflexiven Nachhaltigkeitskultur auf Musikfestivals. Wiesbaden: Springer
(New publication in our book series MUSIK UND GESELLSCHAFT)
Musikfestivals gelten in der Regel nicht als Orte gelebter ökologischer Nachhaltigkeit. Ein anscheinend unbedachter Umgang mit benötigten Ressourcen sowie der oftmals unverhältnismäßige Konsum von Alkohol sprechen zunächst nicht dafür, dass gerade hier eine Chance für einen im nachhaltigen Sinne erforderlichen Wertewandel der Gesellschaft liegt.
Dieses Buch widmet sich einem in diesem Kontext bisher weitgehend unbeachteten Aspekt von Musikfestivals: In einer umfangreichen empirischen Studie werden auf verschiedenen Musikfestivals beobachtete drastische Veränderungen von Verhaltensmustern der Besucher und die Gründe hierfür untersucht. Unter den Festivalgästen wird ein habitueller Grundmodus ausgemacht, der sich relevant von dem in deren Alltag unterscheidet. Es wird der Frage nachgegangen, welches Potenzial für die sozialökologische Transformation von Gesellschaften der Beibehaltung dieses Grundmodus über die Grenzen der Festivals hinaus innewohnt.
