A New Perspective on Music’s Mediation
Contemporary music, like other arts, is dealing with the rise of «curators» laying claim to everything from festivals to playlists – but what are they and what do they do anyway? Drawing from backgrounds ranging from curatorial studies to festival studies and musicology, Brandon Farnsworth lays out a theory for understanding curatorial practices in contemporary music, and how they could be a solution to the field’s diminishing social relevance. The volume focuses on two case studies, the Munich Biennale for New Music Theatre, and the Maerzmusik Festival at the Berliner Festspiele, putting them in a transdisciplinary history of curatorial practice, and showing what music curatorial practice can be.

Der Band erörtert Begriffe, die die ästhetische Theorie und Praxis von Milo Raus International Institute of Political Murder IIPM beschreiben, reflektieren und in einen allgemeinen Kontext stellen. Historisch-kritische, repräsentationstheoretische und handlungstheoretische Aspekte künstlerischer Akte werden – ausgehend von konkreten Projekten, Arbeitsproblemen und philosophischen Erwägungen – programmatisch verhandelt. Die untereinander kommunizierenden Überlegungen stellen dabei bewegliche Denk-Figuren dar, die präzise Blicke auf die Methodik «realistischer» künstlerischer Arbeit mit historischer und politischer Analyse vereinen.

Der Leib hat, folgt man der Phänomenologie, eine Doppelstellung inne: Er ist in der Welt und zugleich das Medium des Zugangs zur Welt. Vor den Techniken mit Apparaturen und Instrumenten steht die Gesamtheit der Techniken des Leibes. Das Verhältnis von Natur und Kultur entfaltet sich im leiblichen Verhalten, im praktischen Umgang mit den Dingen, in materiellen und performativen Bedingungen. Die hier versammelten Beiträge aus der Medienphilosophie, Bildtheorie, Philosophie und Kulturwissenschaft rücken lebensweltliche Vollzüge in den Vordergrund, um Techniken des Leibes in Ausgestaltungen von Praktiken, von Sinnlichkeit und ihrer Ausdrucksformen zu thematisieren.

![The Changing Face of Alterity | David J. Gunkel, Ciro Marcondes Filho, Dieter Mersch (eds.) [Gebundene Ausgabe]](https://publikationen.zhdk.ch/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/image-13-324x486.png)
The figure of the ‚other‘ is fundamental to the concept of communication. Online or offline, communication, which is commonly defined as the act of sending or imparting information to others, is only possible in the face of others. In fact, the reason we communicate is to interact with others—to talk to another, to share our thoughts and insights with them, or to respond to their needs and requests. No matter how it is structured or conceptualized, communication is involved with addressing the other and dealing with the ontological, epistemological, and ethical questions of otherness or alterity. But who or what can be other? Who or what can be the subject of communication? Is the other always and only another human? Or can the other in these communicative interactions be otherwise? This book is about others (and other kinds of others). It concerns the current position and status of the other in the face of technological innovations that can, in one way or another distort, mask, or even deface the other. Ten innovative essays, written by an international team of experts, individually and in collaboration with each other, seek to diagnose the current situation with otherness, devise innovative solutions to the questions of alterity, and provide insight for students, teachers and researchers trying to make sense of the opportunities and challenges of the 21st century.
