Projekt
Jetzt online: Ausstellung "Ružake gila"
ruzakegila.at
Ružake gila is dedicated to the musical legacy of Ruža Nikolić-Lakatos (1945–2022). Realised by the MMRC at the mdw – University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, the project contributes to the visualisation and accessibility of Roma music in Austria. The digital exhibition gives a platform to an extraordinary singer and enables her songs to live on and be passed on.
Ruža Nikolić-Lakatos was an outstanding personality in the world of Roma music in Austria and became publicly known as a representative of Lovara songs in the 1990s. As an ambassador for her people, she made a significant contribution to spreading the music tradition in Austria and recognising the Rom*nja as an ethnic group. Until shortly before her death, Ruža Nikolić-Lakatos, whose first name means "rose", performed regularly with her family, The Gypsy Family, throughout Austria and abroad.

Veröffentlichung
"On the Need to Overcome Westernization and the Idea of Western Music: Towards a Post-Western Musical Scholarship"
von Anja Brunner
Neuer Beitrag von Anja Brunner im Sammelband "Branding 'Western Music'", herausgegeben von María Cáceres-Piñuel, Alberto Napoli und Melanie Strumbl.
Der Sammelband zielt darauf ab, einen interdisziplinären Dialog über die Überschneidungen zwischen der Prägung des Begriffs "Westliche Musik" und dem institutionalisierten und unternehmerischen Management von Kultur zu fördern. Er untersucht die Entstehung der Bezeichnung "Westliche Musik" im Zusammenhang mit der Kommodifizierung von Freizeit, der Institutionalisierung akademischer Diskurse und der transnationalen imperialen Kulturpolitik.

Publication
"On the Need to Overcome Westernization and the Idea of Western Music: Towards a Post-Western Musical Scholarship"
by Anja Brunner
New contribution by Anja Brunner in the anthology "Branding 'Western Music'", edited by María Cáceres-Piñuel, Alberto Napoli and Melanie Strumbl.
The anthology aims to foster an interdisciplinary dialogue on the intersections between the coining of the «Western Music» concept and the institutionalised and entrepreneurial management of culture. It studies the emergence of the trademark «Western Music» in relation to the commodification of leisure, the institutionalisation of academic discourses, and the transnational imperial politics of culture.
