Jeudi 4 janvier 2024, 18h – 19h30 : Þorbjörg Daphne HALL, « The Image of Icelandic Music »
Lien de connexion :
Résumé : I will delve into the portrayal of Icelandic music and how exoticism and borealism, in particular, play out in the narratives surrounding it. I will explore the concept of “Icelandicness” and delve into matters of national identity. Subsequently, I will discuss how these aspects impact musicians and their artistic practice.
