Angesichts der Krise des globalen Kapitalismus erfährt der Begriff der Klasse in vielen wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen neue Aufmerksamkeit. Die MMRC Lecture 2024 lädt dazu ein, die Verbindungen von Klasse und Musik als politisches Instrument, wirtschaftliches Machtverhältnis und kreative, gemeinsame Erfahrung von Selbstbestimmung und Widerstand in unterschiedlichen geografischen und historischen Kontexten und aus verschiedenen Perspektiven zu betrachten.
Dazu halten die Ethnomusikologin und Anthropologin Ana Hofman (Institut für Kultur- und Erinnerungsstudien am Forschungszentrum der Slowenischen Akademie der Wissenschaften und Künste, Ljubljana) und die Kulturgeografin und Künstlerin Anjeline de Dios (Manila) Vorträge, ergänzt durch einen musikalischen Beitrag von Rapper Mata Granata (Kroatien/Wien) feat. MC Andja Mitraljeza, der auf B/K/S über Klasse als gemeinsame Erfahrung von Menschen aus unterschiedlichen kulturellen Kontexten, Klassenkämpfe und die Unsichtbarkeit von Arbeitsmigrant*innen rappt.
Hinweis: Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt!

The 2024 MMRC Lecture: "Between Cultural Labor and Political Struggle: Music and Class"
October 14, 2024, Joseph Haydn Hall, mdw
Title image: Klimentina Li
In view of the crisis-ridden character of global capitalism, the concept of class is receiving renewed attention across many scholarly disciplines. The 2024 MMRC Lecture invites different perspectives on the connections between class and music as a political instrument, an economic power relation and a creative, shared experience of self-determination and resistance across different geographical and historical contexts.
The ethnomusicologist and anthropologist Ana Hofman (Institute for Cultural and Memory Studies at the Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Ljubljana) and the cultural geographer and artist Anjeline de Dios (Manila) will give lectures, complemented by a musical contribution of Mata Granata (Croatia/Vienna) feat. MC Andja Mitraljeza, who raps about class as a shared experience of people from different cultural contexts, class struggles and the invisibility of migrant labour.
While all of the contributors focus on different geographical and historical contexts, their talks and music are intended to be starting points of a conversation about interconnections – between class and race, the histories of the so-called former Second World and the Global South, state socialism and overseas colonialism, struggles and mobilities.
