International Workshop in Theory and Sound II
Pelion, Moni Paou, Greece
Αugust 28-30, 2023

Mediterranean (post)colonialisms

Co-organized by the department of History, Archaeology and Social Anthropology and the department of Culture, Creative Media and Industries, University of Thessaly.

The theoretical workshop seeks to rethink the “Mediterranean” as a relational and elusive musical place emerging through its multiple, unfinished trajectories and temporalities, as well as a multivalent discursive/sonic field for a radical critique of modernity activating contingencies for unlearning history. Drawing upon paradigms from the Mediterranean “East”, it is motivated by the reconsideration of the Mediterranean less in terms of a fixed, spatial category and more as a musical idea: to re-imagine and listen to the Mediterranean as an unruly, incomplete archive of sounds and as a “boundless sea” of genres and voices to be performed, of sonic odysseys to be (re-)mapped, of connectivities and disconnections to be (re-)appraised.
