‘Accordion Culture’, Wien - Österreich
Beitrag von Rob Howard

Dr. Marion S. Jacobson, Assistenz Professor of Music and Humanities at the Albany College of Pharmacy, Albany, NY 12208, USA, schreibt:

Sie werden herzlich eingeladen, eine kurze Zusammenfassung (ca. 300 Wörter) für eine Zeitung (oder Präsentation) mit dem Thema “Akkordeon Kultur” für das nächste Treffen des Gremiums “Squeezing Accordion Culture”, bei der internationalen Council on Traditional Music Conference am Montag, den 09. Juli in Wien, zu schreiben.

Österreich, der Geburtsort des Akkordeons würde der perfekte Ort für ein Zusammenkommen sein und dort die einzigartige Rolle des Akkordeons in allen Arten der folk & traditionellen Musikkulturen zu erforschen. Meine gegenwärtige Forschung beschäftigt sich mit der sozialen Geschichte des Akkordeons in Amerika oder der Gebrauch des Akkordeons in der “Mittelbraunen Kultur” der 30-er, 40-er und 50-er Jahre.

Dieses Gremium könnte die verschiedenen Umwandlungen des Akkordeons in den unterschiedlichen Weltkulturen (einschließlich seiner Herstellung, Design, Marketing und Zirkulation) sowie die Wirkungsweise der Performance in den großen Bereichen der sozialen, kulturellen und historischen Kontexte untersuchen.
