About

This site features news, publications, works, and commentary on current issues by researcher Anna Papaeti. It was initially created for the needs of her Marie Skłodowska Curie Fellowship Music in Detention in (Post) Civil-War Greece (1947–1957), held at the Department of Social Anthropology of Panteion University, Athens (2017–2019; acronym MUSDEWAR; Horizon 2020), investigating the intersections of music, the state, human rights and justice, and more particularly (ab)uses of music and sound at Makronissos detention camps during the Civil War and the post-civil war period in Greece.

Anna Papaeti (PhD, King’s College London) is Principal Investigator of the ERC Consolidator Grant Soundscapes of Trauma: Music, Sound, and the Ethics of Witnessing (Acronym MUTE; Horizon 2020). She writes about opera, musical theatre and politics, the nexus of music, sound and traumatic memory, as well as the intersections of music/sound, human rights, and justice. She held two Marie Skłodowska Curie Fellowships at the University of Goettingen (2011– 2014, FP7) and at Panteion University, Athens (2017–2019, Horizon 2020) respectively. Her research has also been supported by DAAD, Onassis Foundation, and the Centre for Research for the Humanities, Athens. In 2013 she co-edited two special issues on music torture and music in detention. She is also a research-based-art practitioner, working in sound and textual forms. She created the podcast The Undoing of Music for Museo Nacional Reina Sofía (Madrid, 2019) and the installation in/audibility (Dromokaitio, Athens, 2022), as well two installations with Nektarios Pappas The Dark Side of the Tune (Onassis Stegi, 2016) and Néos Parthenónas (Loutraki, 2019).
