Ramón Pelinski Memorial Lecture Dr. Josep Martí i Pérez - Institut Català d'Antropologia (ICA) Práctica musicológica y pensamiento sutil El eje central de esta conferencia girará alrededor de la idea de que las categorías de las que nos servimos para llevar a cabo la investigación musicológica, al mismo tiempo que nos permiten aprehender en cierta manera la realidad que nos envuelve, también limitan nuestra visión. De ahí el reto de explorar posibles líneas de fuga pensando en la investigación en base a la conceptualización de la música principalmente como práctica, como actividad rizomática, des- y recategorizada, en la que se diluyen categorías con las que trabajamos habitualmente. A lo largo de la presentación, se discutirá (a) la idea de flujo, (b) el contraste entre pensamiento relacional versus pensamiento oposicional y (c) la noción de in-between o entremedio de las cosas. Esta aproximación teórica nos permite explorar nuevas dimensiones que podemos entender como propias de un pensamiento sutil musicológico.
Closing keynote Prof. Simone Krüger Bridge - Liverpool John Moores University (UK) Harmonising Conflict: The Social Value of Musical Participation in Online and Embodied Community Contexts In contexts of social conflict, whether imposed by a global pandemic, institutional tradition or shifting societal dynamics, musical participation emerges as a vital site of social negotiation and resilience. This keynote explores how musical participation generates social value in times of disruption, drawing on longitudinal research conducted between 2020 and 2025. Spanning the shift from digital engagement during the COVID-19 pandemic to embodied choral outreach in post-pandemic society, the research examines how choral music participation fosters educational equity, social mobility, social connection and emotional wellbeing. Focusing on cathedral-based outreach in the Liverpool City Region, the keynote considers how participatory choral practices navigate tensions between sacred and secular, tradition and inclusion, and institutional identity and public need. It argues that music’s civic role extends beyond aesthetic or liturgical function, shaping new forms of community and cultural meaning in response to structural inequality and social fragmentation. Through a critical lens on musical value, the research contributes to contemporary debates in ethnomusicology around music heritage, ritual and community participation, calling for renewed engagement with participatory music making as a site of both resilience and transformation.
