Postmodernity's Musical Pasts covers topics from classical to
popular and neo-traditional musics to concerns of the disciplines
of musicology. These provide insights how the progression of time
and history can be conceptually understood after 1945.
Postmodernity's Musical Pasts relies on an extensive and varied
spectrum of topics, from both the centre and the periphery of the
musicological canon, that mirror the eclectic and diverse nature of
the postwar era itself. The first section, 'Time and the
(Post)Modern', investigates how to understand manifestations of the
past in musical composition with regard to time, on the one hand,
and with regard to genre, style, and idiom, on the other. The
second section, 'Manifestations of History', shows how time and
history manifest themselves in art music. A third section,
'Receptions of the Past', takes the contrasts and transitional
moments of post-1945 practices further by looking at the
temporality of reception from different angles. A final part
investigates questions of nostalgia and the temporalities of
belonging. The volume subverts the understanding of temporality as
linear progression of past, present, and future. It offers new
avenues of conceptual thinking relevant for those engaged in the
study of music history and culture and for the humanities at large.
