Dissonances of Modernity illuminates the ways in which music, as an
artifact, a practice, and a discourse redefines established
political, social, gender, and cultural conventions in Modern
Spain. Using the notion of dissonance as a point of departure, the
volume builds on the insightful approaches to the study of music
and society offered by previous analyses in regards to the central
position they give to identity as a socially and historically
constructed concept, and continues their investigation on the
interdependence of music and society in the Iberian Peninsula.
While other serious studies of the intersections of music and
literature in Spain have focused on contemporary usage, Dissonances
of Modernity looks back across the centuries, seeking the role of
music in the very formation of identity in the peninsula. The
volume's historical horizon reaches from the nineteenth-century War
of Africa to the Catalan working class revolutions and Enric
Granados' central role in Catalan identity; from Francisco
Barbieri's Madrid to the Wagnerian's influence in Benito Perez
Galdos' prose; and from the predicaments surrounding national
anthems to the use of the figure of Carmen in Francoist' cinema.
This volume is a timely scholarly addition that contemplates not
only a broad corpus that innovatively comprises popular and high
culture--zarzuelas, choruses of industrial workers, opera, national
anthems--but also their inter-dependence in the artists'
creativity.
