Current research
Between cinema sound and game audio. Film - Music - Mediation
Thomas Krettenauer, Lars Oberhaus (Eds.)
In recent years, international film and cinema culture has changed fundamentally. The change affects the production and distribution of audiovisuals and thus also the practices in the context of artistic-technical production and consumption. At the same time, specialist discourses have been expanded, challenging us to convey music and film in a contemporary way in the context of media education and schools.
The title Between cinema sound and game audio indicates a historical development that emphasises the media diversity of cinema, TV, video, internet and gaming. It also addresses the complexity of the subject area, insofar as developments in production technology and film aesthetics (e.g. film sound design, sound design) have increasingly found their way into the discourse on music and film education. As part of such a concept, which is geared towards interdisciplinary film-music literacy, aspects that are particularly relevant for music lessons in schools are also taken into account.
Teaching and learning music. Philosophical perspectives
Lukas Bugiel, Lars Oberhaus (Eds.)
The contributions in this book discuss the teaching and learning of music from different philosophical perspectives. Under discussion are concepts of music teaching, learning and instruction, but also of music, musical experience and improvisation against the background of teaching, learning and educational practices. It discusses the goals and objects of music teaching as well as the role of philosophising in music education practice and research. In this way, the book provides an insight into virulent questions and topics between philosophy of music education, philosophy of music and philosophy of education.

Popular Music and the Rise of Populism in Europe
Mario Dunkel, Melanie Schiller (Eds.)
This book focuses on the role of popular music in the rise of populism in Europe, centring on the music-related processes of sociocultural normalisation and the increasing prevalence of populist discourses in contemporary society. In its innovative combination of approaches drawing from (ethno)musicology, sociology, and political science, as well as media and cultural studies, this book develops a culture-oriented approach to populism. Based on shared research questions, an original theoretical framework and a combination of innovative methodologies that pay attention to the specific socio-historical contexts, taking into account musical material as well as processes of reception, the five chapters in this volume offer detailed analyses of the nexus of popular music and populism in Hungary, Italy, Austria, Sweden and Germany. All of these countries have seen a marked increase in populist parties and discourses over the last years, as well as significant interactions between populism and popular music. This book will be essential reading for those investigating popular music as a crucial aspect in the study of populism as a cultural phenomenon in Europe.

Music, sound and politics as a field of action for political and musical education
Mario Dunkel, Tonio Oeftering (Eds.)
While individual voices in music education have been dealing with questions of politics and the political in music for some time, an increased interest in music and sound can now also be observed in political education. So far, however, there has been a lack of sustained dialogue between the two disciplines. Against this background, this volume brings together reflections on the extent to which approaches from music education, sound studies and political education can mutually enrich each other with regard to the increasingly important nexus between music, sound and politics.
