Musik Und Klangkultur Womens Leadership In Music

Various modes of contemporary female cultural, social and political leadership can be found in music. Informed by different histories and culturally bound social mores but also by a comparative perspective, the contributors ask what can be considered as leadership in culture from a female point of view today. They deconstruct the notion of leadership as corporative and career-related modes of success by showing how female agency, power and negotiation in and through music can and should be considered as empowering, transformative and role-modeling. This volume interweaves several disciplinary perspectives, from ethnomusicology, musicology and cultural management to sociology and anthropology.
