Teach the world to sing, and all will be in perfect harmony - or so
the songs tell us. Music is widely believed to unify and bring
peace, but the focus on music as a vehicle for fostering empathy
and reconciliation between opposing groups threatens to overly
simplify our narratives of how interpersonal conflict might be
transformed. This Element offers a critique of empathy's ethical
imperative of radical openness and positions the acknowledgement of
moral responsibility as a fundamental component of music's capacity
to transform conflict. Through case studies of music and conflict
transformation in Australia and Canada, Music Transforming Conflict
assesses the complementary roles of musically mediated empathy and
guilt in post-conflict societies and argues that a consideration of
musical and moral implication as part of studies on music and
conflict offers a powerful tool for understanding music's potential
to contribute to societal change.
