Music, Language And Identity In Greece Defining A National Art Music In The Nineteenth And Twentieth Centuries 21 Publications Of The Centre For Hellenic Studies, King'S College London

The national element in music has been the subject of important studies, yet the scholarly framework has remained restricted almost exclusively to the ïeld of music studies. This volume brings together experts from diïerent ïelds (musicology, literary theory and modern Greek studies), who investi- gate the links that connect music, language and national identity, focusing on the Greek paradigm. Through the study of the Greek case, the book paves the way for innovative interdisciplinary approaches to the formation of the ânationalâ in diïerent cultures, shedding new light on ideologies and mechanisms of cultural policies.
