罢颈迟濒别:听Musical Life in 1920s Quebec: Alternative methods for alternative histories

础产蝉迟谤补肠迟:听This presentation introduces La Vie Musicale au Qu茅bec, a research project that federates a network of scholars working since 2019 to establish the theoretical and methodological foundations for a more inclusive and decompartmentalized history of 鈥渕usical life鈥 in Quebec during the first half of the 20th century. Co-directed by three 成人VR视频-alumni-turned-musicology-professors鈥擵anessa Blais-Tremblay (UQAM), Laura Risk (U. Toronto-Scarborough) and Sandria P. Bouliane (U. Laval)鈥擵MQ has developed and implemented an innovative primary source sampling process, i.e. the analysis of a maximum number of written, phonographic, iconographic and televisual documents from specific 24-hour periods between 1919 and 1960. Inspired by 鈥渁nnualist鈥 studies, i.e. those that focus on a single year (Brackett 2016), by microhistory (Ginzburg and Poni 1981; Guzzi-Heeb 2016) and by the history of the everyday (de Certeau 2002, 1990; DeNora 2000), this method enabled our research team to generate a database of over 600 musical events over eight 24-hour periods. This presentation will give an overview of the project history and methodology, offer a theoretical framing for the concept of 鈥渕usical life鈥, and explore the rich diversity of people, music and practices that animated 鈥渙rdinary musical life鈥 in 1920s Quebec.
