Накратко на български
Гръцката академична музика от 19-ти век насам разкрива как се изразява националната идентичност чрез звуците. Работата помага да се разбере историята на това изкуство и как то се свързва с останалите сфери на гръцката култура.

Greek Identity in Art Music since the Early Nineteenth Century: Towards an Interdisciplinary Methodology
GRIDAMUS has focused on the ways in which Greek art (so-called ‘classical’) music has engaged with processes of construction, expression and negotiation of Greek national identity since the establishment of the modern Greek state in 1830. The main objectives of this project have been two: First, to deepen our understanding of Greek art music, a musical tradition that has been largely ignored beyond the Greek borders, whose history and nature, as well as international relevance, have been insufficiently studied and understood. Thus, GRIDAMUS has provided the first comprehensive and systematic examination of Greek art music. Specifically, it has highlighted the context-dependent ways in which Greek identity has been conceptualised, and the performative nature of its expressions through art music since the nineteenth century was analysed. Secondly, GRIDAMUS has drawn on historical musicology, Modern Greek Studies, and ethnomusicology in developing a novel, interdisciplinary methodological framework for studying expressions of Greek national identity through art music. To this end, it has combined methods of historical-cultural contextualisation, critical discourses for understanding the concept of ‘Greekness’ developed within Modern Greek Studies, and ethnographical methods. Therefore, GRIDAMUS has contributed to the advancement of a dialogue among various disciplines, as well as to discussions about the reconfiguration of sub-disciplinary boundaries within Music Studies. Moreover, it has offered a better understanding of the ways in which Greek art music relates to other spheres of Greek culture and Greek history.

Цел на проекта
This project is the first large-scale, interdisciplinary attempt to study mechanisms of national identity construction through modern Greek (post-1830) art music. It has two primary objectives: a) to develop an interdisciplinary methodological framework for the analysis of Greek art music drawing on historical musicology, Modern Greek Studies and ethnomusicology; and b) to offer a revisionist study of Greek art music – a repertory that remains to be investigated in the depth it merits – by exploring the ways in which it has mediated Greek identity during the period since the formation of the Greek nation-state in the early 19th century. Traditionally, the issue of “Greekness” – a perceived national character or identity – in music has been analysed with respect to the question of the assumed “continuity” of Greek history and culture since antiquity, as well as a quest for authenticity, purity, loyalty and uniqueness. Yet, such treatment of national identity is essentialising and self-exoticising. Recent scholarship on Greek music is starting to recognise the usefulness of contemporary methods of historical and cultural contextualisation. These approaches have much to gain from dialogue with a) recent critical discourses developed to understand and contextualise the concept of “Greekness” within modern Greek studies and b) ethnomusicological approaches to the study of music and identity. This project will equip me to become the first specialist on Greek art music to use an interdisciplinary methodology for the analysis of this music that draws on historical musicology, modern Greek studies and ethnomusicology, a method that has the potential to become paradigmatic for the study of other national repertories too and useful for other disciplines. The research will exploit archival sources while also drawing upon ethnographical methods. The outcomes will be: 1) a monograph, 2) two conference papers, 3) a series of public lectures and 4) a seminar series.
