On Music, Torture and Detention

I am happy to announce the publication of my article “On Music, Torture and Detention: Reflections on Issues of Research and Discipline” in the special issue of the journal “Transposition” on Sound, Music and Violence along with texts of dear colleagues and friends. The long-standing association of music and violence has been an overlooked topic in music research supporting a critical blindness about its transformation into an ideal weapon of terror. The wide range of topics explored and the interdisciplinary approach of this issue edited by Luis Velasco-Pufleau, attest to how far we have come in music research with regard to this phenomenon and disciplinary trauma.
