Multimodality and Displayed Art

Melancholic Modalities: Affect, Islam, and Turkish Classical Musicians
In this groundbreaking and multifaceted book, Denise Gill explores the complex answers to a fundamental question: How does a community of musicians form and sustain itself through shared affective practices? The particular musicians at the heart of Gill's analysis are contemporary performers of Turkish classical music, a genre that traces its origins to the heterophonic, makam-based music of the Ottoman court, Sufi lodges, and urban centers of th…
The Guitar and the Musical Canon (Webinar)
For much of the twentieth century, classical guitarists suffered from an inferiority complex. Could their idiosyncratic instrument ever be taken seriously by the classical establishment? Andrés Segovia devoted his life to “four essential tasks” that would help the guitar sit shoulder to shoulder with the more established instruments of the classical canon: a separation from “mindless folkloric entertainment,” a newly commissioned repertoire of or…
Deutschland, Deutschland, Du Mein Alles!”: Die Deutschen auf der Suche nach ihrer Nationalhymne 1949–1952
Throughout the twentieth century, questions have swirled around the complex legacy of Hoffmann von Fallersleben’s ‘Lied der Deutschen’, written in 1841 to the melody of Joseph Haydn’s ‘Gott erhalte Franz, den Kaiser’. From its opening line of ‘Deutschland, Deutschland über alles’ to the third strophe’s evocation of ‘Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit’, Hoffmann’s Deutschlandlied has been a powerful and powerfully fraught political symbol of state p…
Nothing Happened Without Music: Teaching and Learning the AnatolianBağlamain Berlin
In his article "The Ethnomusicology of Music Learning and Teaching," Timothy Rice argues that the practices of teaching and learning music are fundamental to the ways in which music is conceptualised, transmitted, and invested with symbolic meanings (2003). Ethnomusicologists studying music and diaspora have also drawn attention to the significance of music education as a key medium for the construction and maintenance of diasporic identities.1In…
Umm Kulthum's Water Wheel
In a scene in Michal Goldman's documentary film Umm Kulthum: A Voice Like Egypt , two female friends of Umm Kulthum are reminiscing about her decision in the 1930s to purchase land for a villa in Cairo's Zamalek district. At the time, the women relate, Zamalek had very few buildings and was considered a remote location, far from the city center. “What were you thinking about to buy something so far away?” one of the women recalls her mother telli…
Institutional sculpture and the social semiotic

Functions of style
A systemic-functional semiotics of art
The visual arts should be a natural field for the application of semiotic models of analysis; and yet most discourse — whether published, pedagogical or popular — about art is still stuck in the well-worn grooves of art history, philosophical aesthetics, or attribution and market values. Attempts over the last ten years to invoke semiotics have mainly been confined to applying a raw Saussurean analysis — questionable even for verbal discourse — t…
