Music Memoir Research Group
Description
The Music Memoir Research Group provides a unique look at the contemporary cultural phenomenon of the music memoir and, leading from this, the way that music is used to construct memory.
Scholars in literature, creative writing, musicology and cultural history are collaborating in a growing interdisciplinary field. Research is developing new critical models and methodologies for analysis while practitioners are shaping performance and composition through knowing references to cultural memory.
This Group seeks to work with and support a range of interdisciplinary researchers and practitioners interested in the expanding range of music narratives and textual representations of music and their relationship to individual and collective experience.
The Group collaborates with colleagues at other Universities, and is keen to hear from researchers interested in further interdisciplinary and cross form collaboration on any aspect of music, memory and memoir.
The Group is interested in project proposals looking at textual discussion and representations of popular music in critical and/or creative forms. It is particularly interested in music memoir, music narratives, music and memory, music spaces, regionality, and nostalgia.
