Judith I Haug er førsteamanuensis ved Institutt for musikkvitenskap og har sammen med Hanna Walsdorf utgitt boka: Mirrored Hybridities: Cultural Communities Converging in French, German, and Turkish Stage Productions (17th–20th Century).
“In early modern Europe, music-theatrical patterns of representing the foreign ‘Other’ helped shape relations with the Ottoman Empire. Accordingly, hybridity must be understood as a dynamic practice playing with cultural blends and borrowings, albeit possibly (re-)producing inequalities, ambiguities, and clichés. Representations of Ottomans/Turks appear as musical features emerging out of vague inspirations derived from Ottoman/Turkish music, creating a particular sound that could be decoded as ‘Ottoman’ or ‘Turkish’ by contemporary listeners.”
Presentasjon av boka blir etterfulgt av paneldebatt med Professor Hanna Walsdorf (University of Basel), Professor Ragnhild Johnsrud Zorgati (University of Oslo), and Assoc. Professor Judith I. Haug (University of Oslo).
Ordstyrer: Peter Edwards (Head of Research, Institutt for musikkvitenskap, UiO).
