Performing Diversity. Aufführungsrituale von aktueller Musik in Österreich – eine vergleichende Stilfelder-Analyse

Abstract

The project Performing Diversity dealt with rituals of music performance. To this end, qualitative case studies were used to explore distinctions and diffusions between the musical style fields of »Classical / Contemporary music«, »Jazz / Improvised music«, »Folk music / World music«, »Dance / HipHop / Electronic music«, »Rock & Pop« and »Schlager / Folkloristic music«. The focus was on crossover phenomena in today's musical landscape, with analyses being devoted to musical and cultural spaces-in-between where new things can come about. The sample comprised of Austrian musical, pictorial, and filmic creations from between 2010 and 2015.
