European Music Analysis and the Politics of Identity – Special Issue of Danish Musicology Online
In the wake of the North American scholar Philip Ewell’s critique of music theory’s white racial frame, questions of race, gender, class, and more have been amplified and gained new momentum in the areas of music theory and music analysis. But how, to what extent, and under what circumstances are such debates on the identity politics of music theory pertinent in Europe?
