Presidential Session: The Dissent Mixtape

Thu, November 9, 6:00 to 7:30pm, Hyatt Regency Chicago, Regency B, Ballroom Level West Tower

Session Submission Type: Non-Paper Session: Dialogue Format

Abstract

This session, together with the actual Dissent Mixtape for this annual meeting that the panelists have produced, acknowledges the key role that music has played in the activation, expression, and affirmation of dissent. It also recognizes music as a pedagogy -- i.e., not only the role that formal music education has played in the sustenance of the social hierarchies of the colonial-modern world, but also the inducement to radical sensibilities, queer politics, and alternative social formations that accompany both formal and informal musical training. The form of the mixtape itself -- the compilation, the sharing of which is a sign and a producer of intimacy -- itself suggests the life of music in the pedagogies of dissent. Panelists will offer comments in a roundtable format that engage these and other ideas.
