Back to overview
The relationship between music and politics is as fundamental as it is full of tension, both in the subject matter and in the disciplines involved: there have always been attempts at mutual appropriation, but also at repression. The functionalization of music for political purposes or the assertion of an apolitical l’art pour l’art are just the most prominent examples. In the transdisciplinary exchange undertaken here, the question is now raised as to whether the mere uncovering of such interrelationships is educational or whether other relevant perspectives do not instead arise from each other’s own logic. To what extent, for example, are the objectives postulated by music educators compatible with the discourses within political education and vice versa? The open-ended exchange can serve to outline one’s own self-image. In the explorations collected in this volume, the pendulum swings sometimes more into the area of one subject didactics, sometimes more into that of the other.
