Research ethics and archival work in historical musicology
Research workshop
Concept: Dr Carola Bebermeier (University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna); Prof Dr Anna Langenbruch (University of Oldenburg)
14-15 March 2025, University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna
Surveillance documents, camp files, compensation files, but also private letters or colonially influenced sound recordings - in the course of increasing cultural and social history research, historical musicology is focussing on source materials that result from situations with extremely asymmetrical power relations. These archival holdings require special reflection on the power imbalance from which they emerged. Against this background, the workshop is dedicated to research ethical problems and questions from the respective research practice of the participants and aims to explore the responsibilities that research ethics and archival work in historical musicology entail.

Film music and film sound in the context of their mediation
Symposium of the Kiel Society for Film Music Research
23-24 June 2023, University of Vienna
This year's symposium of the Kiel Society for Film Music Research deals with the question of how film music and related topics can be dealt with in a media- and reception-specific way in both school and university lessons and other teaching contexts, which learning objectives are associated with this and which competences should be promoted on the part of the learners. The aim is to explore the extent to which subject-specific film teaching should take into account the dimensions of other subjects and where there may be points of contact for interdisciplinary and possibly artistic work in order to optimise learning and apply what has been learned. A publication of the conference contributions in the Kieler Beiträgen zur Filmmusikforschung (peer-reviewed, open access) is planned for 2024.
Organisation: Henriette Engelke (University of Oldenburg) and Dieter Merlin (University of Vienna)

Music theatre and the history of knowledge
Free symposium for the XVII International Congress of the Society for Music Research
Emmy Noether junior research group "Music History on Stage"
Prof. Dr Anna Langenbruch, University of Oldenburg
Bonn, 28 September 2021, 14:00-18:30 hrs
In recent years, the history of knowledge has developed into a productive and increasingly differentiated field of research in the historical disciplines. It focuses on a wide variety of epistemic spaces, actors, practices, discourses, genres and objects: Scientists, experts or artists, epistemic functions of hearing or the sense of touch, of visual art, photography, crime literature or even: Music theatre.
Music theatre and the history of knowledge can be related to each other in many different ways: As a history of knowledge of music theatre, which is interested in how knowledge about music theatre and the associated practices of composing, singing, playing or listening is produced, discussed and disseminated. Or as a history of knowledge in music theatre, which views music theatre as a medium of knowledge transfer, its transformation and circulation, as in so-called music history theatre, for example. Based on the work of the Emmy Noether junior research group "Music History on Stage", the symposium asks how considerations of the history of knowledge can be made fruitful for music theatre research and, conversely, what the music (theatre) sciences contribute to the interdisciplinary history of knowledge.
