Cross-Cultural Dialogues

Essays in Honour of Michael Beckerman

Aleš Březina, Anja Bunzel, Lorraine Byrne Bodley (eds.)

This volume brings together 39 studies by scholars and artists addressing current issues in Czech, Central European, and Anglo-American music, literature, film, philosophy, and the visual arts from the sixteenth to the twenty-first centuries. Despite their broad geographical, chronological, and thematic scope, the individual chapters are linked by overarching concepts and a shared, often interdisciplinary methodology. Their common point of departure is the work of the eminent American musicologist Michael Beckerman, a leading expert on Czech musical culture. The book features a diverse group of contributors from different generations and geographical backgrounds, drawing on both Anglo-American and Czech research traditions. These varied perspectives are united by a commitment to fostering intercultural dialogue and connecting musicology with other disciplines.
