Musicology as a \u201cSmall Discipline\u201d: <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Example of the Department of Musicology in Zagreb<\/strong><\/p>\n

Panel session<\/p>\n

Although some forms of musicological courses have been taught at the Acad\u00ademy of Music in Zagreb since its establishment in 1921, it was only when Josip Andreis founded the Department of Music History and Theory (later the Department of History of Music) in 1948 that more solid schol\u00adarly foundations were laid. At the initiative of Ivo Supi\u010di\u0107, this department grew into the Department of Musicology in 1970, contributing to a more comprehensive profile of the discipline, but this did not change the fact that it was a scholarly endeavour operating as a minority in the midst of activities primarily in the realm of the performing arts.<\/p>\n

This themed panel session is going to examine the Department of Musi\u00adcol\u00adogy at the Academy of Music in Zagreb as a part of the field of musicol\u00adogy in Croatia viewed as a \u201csmall discipline\u201d. After positioning it within the con\u00adtext of the humanities and the arts in Croatia and other countries with simi\u00adlar institutional practices, the session will focus on two aspects of musico\u00adlog\u00adical activities at the Zagreb Department of Musicology: research and teaching.<\/p>\n

    Minority Complexes and \u201cSmall\u201d Musicologies<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    The future of musicology differs greatly depending on the academic con\u00adtext it is being pursued in. In Germany, where the number of departments and tenures defines a \u201csmall discipline\u201d (kleines Fach<\/em>), musicology has been classified as \u201cmedium size\u201d (mittelgro\u00df<\/em>) since 1974. However, with a few exceptions, in most other countries in the world, musicology is a relatively small scholarly discipline with a somewhat marginal position in academia. This position stems from the overall inferior status of the hu\u00adman\u00adi\u00adties as opposed to other, more market-oriented disciplines, but it is also conditioned by the local and to a certain extent individual circum\u00adstances governing a particular musicology department.<\/p>\n

    This paper will attempt to examine the intricate minority identities of the Department of Musicology in Zagreb. Comparisons will be made with mu\u00adsi\u00adcological activities at research institutes in the country and other musi\u00adcol\u00adogy departments in Croatia’s neighbouring lands that also house musi\u00adcology at academies of music or universities of the arts, as opposed to the German model, where musicology is firmly established at faculties of phi\u00adlosophy. Careers of Croatian musicologists who pursued their schol\u00adar\u00adly careers abroad will be drawn into comparison, as well as other \u201csmall dis\u00adciplines\u201d in the realm of the humanities in Croatia to see how this re\u00adflects on institutional practices at the Department of Musicology in Zagreb.<\/p>\n

    Ivan \u0106urkovi\u0107<\/strong> is Assistant Professor at the Academy of Music, University of Zagreb, and Head of the Musicology Department. He studied musicology, comparative literature and Hungarian studies at the University of Zagreb, and he received his PhD in 2017 at the Musicology Department of Heidelberg University under the supervision of Prof. Dr Silke Leopold. The dissertation has meanwhile been published in revised form under the title The Vocal Duets of G. F. Handel and His Italian Contemporaries (1706-1724)<\/em>. His re\u00adsearch interests include dramatic vocal genres of the first half of the 18th<\/sup> cen\u00adtury with particular emphasis on the works of G. F. Handel and his contem\u00adporaries. He is also interested in the historical and contemporary perfor\u00admance practice of this repertory and the application of certain cultural theo\u00adries, such as gender studies, to historical musicology.<\/p>\n

      The Challenges of Doing Research and Teaching Musicology<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

      Since the establishment of the Department of Musicology, research has been an important and integral part of its activities. The Institute of Musi\u00adcol\u00adogy was founded within the Department in 1967 as the first centre for organised musicological research in Croatia. Later renamed Institute of Sys\u00adtematic Musicology, this institution remained essential for the sys\u00adtem\u00adatic exploration of various aspects of the musical culture of Croatia, up until its gradual discontinuation.<\/p>\n

      This paper will be divided into two segments.\u202fThe first part will provide a concise historical overview of activities within the Department of Musi\u00adcology, while the second part will examine different aspects of the labour crisis that strains the world of academia. Special emphasis will be placed on the specific position of scholars working in higher education. On the one hand, there is the need to prepare and provide high-quality educa\u00adtion, while on the other, scholars should strive to stay relevant and excel in their respective fields. Both these time-consuming tasks are further com\u00adpli\u00adcated due to limited funding. These issues should be addressed without delay as they are essential for our future as scholars, the educa\u00adtion and formation of future generations of musicologists, and conse\u00adquently for our \u201csmall\u201d discipline of musicology.<\/p>\n

      Ana \u010cizmi\u0107 Grbi\u0107<\/strong> is assistant at the Department of Musicology, Academy of Music, University of Zagreb. She graduated musicology in 2008, and is cur\u00adrently PhD student at Graz University of Music and Art. Her main field of interest is medieval liturgical music, with special emphasis on cataloguing medieval liturgical music manuscripts, as well as digital medieval studies.

        Teaching Musicology: Growing Without \u201cGrowing Up\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

        The simplest definition of musicology \u2013 \u201cthe scholarly study of music\u201d \u2013 al\u00adready contains two opposite terms that gave musicology its uniqueness on the one hand, but also created the possibility of dispute on the other. Those terms are \u201cscholarly\u201d and \u201cmusic\u201d, the first one implying a scien\u00adtific, the sec\u00adond one an artistic aspect. The fact that this discipline is deal\u00ading with an art form has also left its mark on the teaching activities at the Department of Mu\u00adsicology in Zagreb. At one point the possibility of the Department\u2019s exclu\u00adsion from the Academy of Music and a transfer to the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences was entertained, but this never materialised in spite of continued dissatisfaction.<\/p>\n

        This part of the panel will focus on a historical outline of the development of teaching at the Department. Primarily based on archival records, this paper will demonstrate the changes that have occurred in the Depart\u00adment’s curric\u00adulum from its establishment to the present time. Musi\u00adco\u00adlog\u00adical courses were taught in Zagreb even before the Academy of Music was institutionalised, in the late 19th<\/sup> century at the Academy\u2019s predecessor, the Croatian Music Insti\u00adtute. In this initial period musicological teaching en\u00adcompassed merely two cours\u00ades \u2013 the history of music and the aesthet\u00adics of music. Meanwhile, in the previous century, and especially in the last 50 years, the spectrum of musico\u00adlogical teaching activities has increased significantly. However, in spite of this inner growth of musicology, in the overall academic context in Croatia, musi\u00adcol\u00adogy is still considered not only a \u201csmall\u201d, but also an \u201cuncommon\u201d discipline.<\/p>\n

        Monika Juri\u0107 Janjik<\/strong> studied musicology, philosophy and sociology at the Uni\u00adver\u00adsity of Zagreb. In 2018 she received her PhD at the Croatology Depart\u00adment of the Centre for Croatian Studies in Zagreb (thesis title: Music in the Works of Dubrovnik Renaissance Authors<\/em>). She is Assistant Professor at the Department of Musicology, Academy of Music in Zagreb. Since 2013 she has been the secretary of the Croatian Musicological Society and edito\u00adrial board secretary of the International Review of the Aesthetics and Sociol\u00adogy of Music<\/em>. Her fields of interest include aesthetics of music, music of the Renais\u00adsance and philosophical thought of Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
