Date and time: 23rd of January 2023, 17:40-19:00 (Change of date)
Location: QS D-001
Guest speaker: Rosa Reitsamer, Head of the Institute for Sociology of Music at the mdw
Rosa Reitsamer's research at her institute focuses on the history and theory of the sociology of music and gender and social inequalities in the musical sector, among other topics.
Over the last forty years, scholars have explored the obstacles faced by female musicians wanting to be recognized as legitimate professionals in various musical worlds such as rock, pop, jazz, rap and electronic music. This presentation focuses on how a younger generation of female performers involved in electronic music scenes in Vienna, Austria, adopt diverse feminist discourses associated with “second” and “third” wave feminist movements to advance their Do-it-Yourself careers.
