Musical Geography and the Concept of “Musical Landscape”: Features of the Disciplinary Field
Abstract
Musical geography as a part of c tural geography was developed in the 1970s, but the discipline has changed significantly in the 1990s. One of the key concepts in the field of musical geography is “musical landscape,” which describes the representation of urban space in the work of a particular musicians or musical bands and the “emotional geography” created by them, referring to the local specifics of places and regions. At the same time, “musical landscape” covers the actions of citizens, users and music fans aimed at the reception of music in the city. In the paper, attention will be paid to the specifics of the contemporary field of musical geography, primarly in the US and UK. Separately, the field of new cultural geography and the concept of “cultural landscape”, which significantly influenced the understanding of the nature and characteristics of sound and musical landscapes in the modern world, will be considered.
