On the Future of Music History in Professional and Central-Peripheral European Musical Circumstances
Keywords:
music history, music historiography, musicology, centre, peripheryAbstract
In considering the chosen topic, I proceed from the complex relationship between music history, music historiography and musicology, focusing on musicology as an interdisciplinary branch of music history. I consider the issue of its future from two viewpoints: 1) from the viewpoint of the future which we can control through professional means, striving for a certain professional vision and the highest professional criteria, and 2) of the future we cannot influence through the profession itself. This aspect of the future is a problem of peripheral musicologies, because these are axiologically dependent on the centre’s relationships towards the Other and scepticism regarding its evaluation.
