Since the early transformation of European music practice and theory in the cultural centers of Asia, Latin America, and Africa around 1900, it has become necessary for music history to be conceived globally - a challenge that musicology has hardly faced yet. This book discusses the effects of cultural globalization on processes of composition and distribution of art music in the 20th and 21st century. Christian Utz provides the foundations of a global music historiography, building on new models such as transnationalism, entangled histories, and reflexive globalization. The relationship between music and broader changes in society forms the central focus and is treated as a pivotal music-historical dynamic.

Video game music has been permeating popular culture for over forty years, at least since the titular aliens of Space Invaders arrived in 1978, accompanied by an ever-accelerating musical ostinato. Now, reaching hundreds of millions of listeners, game music has grown to encompass a diverse spectrum of musical materials and practices. Its instrumentation ranges from orchestras to rock bands, its contexts from bedroom televisions to concert halls, its materials from 'art music' to Top-40 pop, and its systems from generative music technologies to carefully hand-crafted idiosyncratic musical structures. No longer a novelty within electronic music technology, nor a poor relative to film music, game music engages huge audiences, large budgets, and is the site of innovative scholarship. As well as being a crucial component of the audio-visual interactive experience of video gaming, game music has also had a marked impact on broader popular culture. Simply put, video game music is an important aspect of the musical life of the late-twentieth and twenty-first centuries in the Western world, and has cross-fertilized with many musical genres. At the same time, game music highlights a long tradition of music and play that can be traced back to antiquity.

This book offers an in-depth analysis of Janelle Monáe’s Dirty Computer, an Afrofuturist project that appeared simultaneously as a concept album and a visual album or “emotion picture” in spring 2018. In the previous decade, Janelle Monáe has developed into a global media personality who effortlessly unites speculative world-building with social and political activism. Across the intersecting album and film that together make up Dirty Computer, Monáe brings together the science-fictional themes that informed her previous work, resulting in a powerfully focused artistic and political statement. While the music on the album can be enjoyed as an accessible collection of pop tracks, the accompanying film, music videos, and media paratexts add layers of meaning that combine speculative world-building with anti-racist activism. This unique convergence of energies, ideas, and media platforms has made Dirty Computer a new classic of Afrofuturist science fiction.

In diesem Open-Access-Buch widmet sich Anna Maria Olivari der Forschungslücke der Vertonung von Thomas Manns Doktor Faustus. Sie untersucht ein Korpus von 13 unterschiedlichen Kompositionen aus dem Bereich der Neuen Musik (Opern, Monodramen, instrumentale Werke), die zwischen 1952 und 2011 entstanden sind und bisher wenig bis gar nicht rezipiert wurden. Thomas Manns Doktor Faustus ist in vielerlei Hinsicht ein breit erforschtes Werk, jedoch nicht in Bezug auf seine Vertonungen. Der Vergleich zwischen Roman und Komposition ist im Forschungsparadigma der Intermedialität angesiedelt und ermöglicht die Rekonstruktion der kompositorischen Rezeptionsgeschichte von Doktor Faustus. Die Rückkopplungseffekte zwischen Text und Musik lassen Thomas Manns Roman neu lesen. Die Autorin, Dr. Anna Maria Olivari ist Akademische Rätin auf Zeit am Lehrstuhl für neuere und neueste deutsche Literatur mit dem Schwerpunkt Gender und Diversität der Technischen Universität Dortmund. Ihre wissenschaftlichen Schwerpunkte liegen in der Musikliteraturforschung sowie in der Intersektionalitäts- und Diversitätsforschung. .
