Mediations of music and power in online music cultures
21–22 September 2023 | Gender Studies, School of Culture and Education | Södertörn University
Music cultures in the twenty-first century are strongly shaped by online media that have variously affected the production, curation, and consumption of music. Largely centralized around a small number of private companies, where human and automated processes intersect, online music cultures are sites of mediations of power.
This conference asks: What characterizes mediations of music and power in online music cultures? What are emergent mediations of subjectivity, identity, and difference in online music cultures, and how do they map onto or newly shape discourses of taste, value, and authenticity? What possibilities may online music media offer for centering artistic and fan practices, alliances, and communities that have previously been subjugated in music cultures?
Keynote speaker: Eric Drott (Butler School of Music, University of Texas at Austin)
The conference is convened by Veronika Muchitsch, postdoctoral researcher in Gender Studies, Södertörn University, and Ann Werner, Associate professor in Gender Studies, Södertörn University, and senior lecturer in Musicology, Uppsala University.
