No. 31 (2021): Music Criticism, Ideology and Politics

The main theme of the 31st issue of the journal “Musicology” is Music Criticism, Ideology and Politics, guest-edited by Dr Ivana Medić, Senior Research Associate of the Institute of Musicology SASA and an alumna of the University of Manchester. The main theme of the issue encompasses original scientific articles written by six scholars from Russia, the United Kingdom, Germany and Serbia. The “Varia” section, which includes six studies, is also extensive and thematically diverse, with articles encompassing the topics of Byzantine musicology, Baroque studies, the music of Impressionism, the history of musical periodicals, as well as changes in the position of music and musicians in the circumstances of the current Covid-19 pandemic. The section “Scientific Reviews and Polemics” presents important scientific monographic publications dedicated to Orthodox church music, Renaissance music and the history of the Belgrade Opera. With the final article, the editorial team of the journal “Musicology” sadly bids farewell to the prematurely deceased colleague Dr Danijela Kulezić-Wilson, a distinguished expert in film music.
