The research network “Trayectorias / Cultural Exchanges: Music between Latin America and Europe” presents its third international conference taking place from 14 to 16 March 2019 in Santiago de Chile.
While the first two conferences of the research network (Rio de Janeiro 2015; Berlin 2017) were centered on the circulation of musical genres, musicians, and musical discourses in the period between 1945 and 1970, emphasizing the study of transfers from Europe to Latin America, the third conference will focus on the last three decades of the 20th century. Characteristic for this period is the increasing emigration of Latin American musicians to Europe. Besides the importance of political exile and economic migration, music also played a role as an artefact of cultural representation for the Latin American and Iberian dictatorships of the period. Finally, the last decades of the 20th century involved the development of musical genres such as electronic music and techno, as well as the increasing importance of new spaces for the reception of music, such as television.

30 November to 2 December, 2018
University of Canterbury School of Music, UC Arts at the Arts Centre, 3 Hereford Street, Christchurch.
A journey into the unknown is often a key component of the musicologist’s research process. It may involve the discovery and analysis of unexplored repertoire, probing of music’s role in distant cultures, or experimentation with new pedagogical techniques. It may include the use of new analytical or theoretical methods or interdisciplinary perspectives to shed new light on musical cultures and practices and musical works. Furthermore, the role of music itself can be pivotal in communities facing uncertainty and change. This conference examines the different ways in which music research can involve exploration of the unknown, and investigates the role of musical practices in communities and societies facing the unknown.
