Conversations in Musicology
Presented by The Manipal-Samvaad Centre for Indian Music
The Manipal-Samvaad Center for Indian music brings to you the first in a series of lectures and conversations on the musicology of Hindustani Khayal music. The series hopes to bring together musicologists and thinkers who address the Khayal genre through a diverse set of scholarly and performative approaches such as the Euro-American idiom of academic writing as well as the Indian idiom of performative scholarship. Each session will include short presentations by two scholars, followed by an informal interaction between them and the invited audience.
Session 1: Textuality, Orality, and Tradition in Hindustani music
Dr. Dard Neuman
Dard Neuman is Associate Professor of Music and Hasan endowed chair of Classical Indian Music at the University of Santa Cruz, California. His research interests concern the musical cultivation, transmission and performance of Hindustani music in twentieth century North India as well as the relationship between organized sound, affect and power.
Dr. Max Katz
Max Katz is Associate Professor in the Department of Music at the College of William & Mary. His first book, Lineage of Loss (2017), draws on a decade of ethnographic and archival research and eight years of musical apprenticeship under the chief musician of a legendary but moribund lineage of Hindustani instrumentalists to propound a critical re-reading of modern North Indian music history.
