Música y estudios americanos (MUSAM / SEdeM)
La Comisión de Trabajo “Música y Estudios Americanos” (MUSAM) pretende reunir a todos los investigadores de la Sociedad Española de Musicología interesados en el estudio de la música americana desde su más amplia perspectiva geográfica, cronológica y conceptual, haciendo especial énfasis en los procesos de contacto e intercambio con el mundo ibérico en un contexto europeo. Aunque desde la musicología española ha habido notables esfuerzos en las últimas décadas por analizar la cultura musical española y sus interacciones con la americana de una manera integrada (siendo los principales logros el Diccionario de la música española e hispanoamericana de la SGAE y la reciente Historia de la música en España e Hispanoamérica del Fondo de Cultura Económica), no existe en España ningún espacio científico específico que aglutine a los musicólogos interesados en temáticas americanistas.
La creación de esta Comisión es un reflejo de la creciente atención que la extensa y plural cultura musical del continente americano viene despertando en nuestro país y tiene como principal objetivo la promoción y la articulación de investigaciones y actividades académicas en torno a las tradiciones musicales de las Américas, subrayando tanto los elementos comunes como los particularismos locales, todo ello en un entorno globalizado. De esta manera, se pretende no sólo reforzar los fines asociativos de la Sociedad Española de Musicología, sino también establecer una red de discusión, reflexión y cooperación musicológica de marcado carácter internacional que contribuya a reducir la lejanía de la musicología española con respecto a las músicas americanas.
La vocación de la Comisión es integradora y el concepto de “estudios americanos” se utiliza en su acepción continental más completa y desprejuiciada: no se establecen discriminaciones entre los diversos conglomerados étnicos y culturales (ya sean de aborígenes o de raíz anglosajona, latina o africana), los distintos periodos históricos (América antigua, América colonial, América republicana, América contemporánea), las distintas clases de música (docta, folklórica, tradicional, popular urbana, con sus consiguientes cruces e hibridismos), ni tampoco entre los métodos de análisis adoptados (desde enfoques más tradicionales hasta las teorías postcoloniales, pasando por los estudios transatlánticos). El espíritu que alienta la Comisión es, en definitiva, abarcador e interdisciplinar, y promueve el máximo interés por la riqueza y diversidad de manifestaciones musicales continentales.

Book Reviews by Música y estudios americanos (MUSAM / SEdeM)
Un ensayo de Emilio Casares preludia el corpus de trabajos que conforman el libro. Su relato en primera persona, en buena parte autobiográfico, refiere de manera pormenorizada la génesis y el devenir de las relaciones musicológicas entre España e Hispanoamérica en los tres últimos decenios, y documenta ciertos hitos importantes que ayudaron a integrar nuestra gran comunidad musical y musicológica iberoamericana.
Books (author & editor) by Música y estudios americanos (MUSAM / SEdeM)
En concreto, los diversos capítulos, firmados por investigadores de Argentina, Austria, Brasil, Chile, España, Estados Unidos, México, Portugal y Puerto Rico, analizan cómo la existencia de rutas de comunicación moldeó la movilidad de músicos, repertorios, prácticas e ideologías, configurando una dinámica y compleja estructura reticular que permite entender el universo sonoro iberoamericano como parte de un conjunto interaccionado.
Conferences (Call for Papers & Programs) by Música y estudios americanos (MUSAM / SEdeM)
intercambios y apropiaciones múltiples, como consecuencia de los masivos procesos de migración en, desde y hacia el continente americano a lo largo de su historia. La consiguiente desterritorialización, fragmentación, reterritorialización y producción de nuevas prácticas sonoras configura un objeto disciplinario complejo y multidimensional condicionado no sólo por innovaciones tecnológicas globalizantes, sino también por nuevas formas de sensibilidad y recepción. Así, las categorías ideales de autenticidad, hibridación y transculturalidad, en tanto retóricas identitarias, estéticas y políticas y espacio discursivo de negociación entre lo ajeno y lo propio, han articulado intersecciones históricas y discursos historiográficos que es necesario revisitar críticamente. Este congreso propone el estudio de las músicas iberoamericanas entendidas como un doble discurso que incluye tanto la
expresión de los cruces, encuentros e hibridaciones sonoras de su tiempo, como los relatos que tratan de explicarla o subsumirla dentro de proyectos ideológico-culturales a lo largo del tiempo. Desde esta perspectiva tienen cabida los discursos individuales o grupales, sus componentes y engarces socioculturales, así como las interpretaciones y resignificaciones que se proponen o imponen desde las instituciones, los espacios de poder cultural, la historiografía y la crítica, entre otras.
Para ello, se prestará especial atención a elementos poco trabajados o susceptibles de una nueva mirada como: las relaciones musicales entre países y regiones americanas, el establecimiento de rutas y circuitos en/desde/hacia las Américas, la reflexión sobre el quehacer musicológico en Iberoamérica o el empleo de la interdisciplinariedad y los medios digitales en nuestra aproximación a una realidad plural y en cambio constante. De este modo, pretendemos derribar algunas barreras que no solo consideramos artificiales sino también inoperantes, como la existente entre musicología y etnomusicología, entre musicología histórica y práctica performativa o, incluso, entre las culturas musicales luso-brasileña e hispano-americana, virtualmente “desconectadas”. Al mismo tiempo, este Congreso servirá para reforzar los vínculos entre investigadores interesados en el estudio de la música iberoamericana desde una perspectiva trasatlántica y globalizada.

The intense migratory movement that began centuries ago and goes on until today is one of the most influential phenomena on the musical evolution of the countries of the Americas. The continuous migratory flows in, from and towards the American continent, not homogeneous neither in time nor in space, have been caused by different factors: technological developments, economic and socio-political motivations, personal circumstances or artistic interests, among others. The II MUSAM International Conference aims to promote new perspectives on the study of musical migrations in its American dimension, contemplating the circulation not only of people, texts, and objects but also of practices, ideas, symbols, and discourses, with all their implications in terms of imposition, appropriation and/or cultural negotiation. The conference will focus on some aspects hitherto almost unattended, such as the creation of transnational communities through music (both in origin and destination countries), the use of oral sources (and others between writing and orality, like private correspondence), and the processes of construction of individual and collective memory, that straightly affect the way in which music from the Americas and its history are narrated, spread and recalled.

- musicology and historiography: past, present and future
- problems of periodization, canon and historical subject
- creolism, cosmopolitanism, nationalism and avant-garde
- models of patronage and spaces of musical socialization
- sources, genres and iconographic traditions
- interrelations between erudite and popular music
- processes of circulation to-from-in Mexico: music, musicians, instruments, musical and choreographic practices
- Mexico and the Iberian and American world: musical traditions in other contexts
- colonialism and postcolonialism: interdisciplinary challenges and colonial imaginaries in the 19th and 20th centuries
- performance studies: history of interpretation; discology and recording practices; historically informed performance; experimentation, embodiment, improvisation, and arrangements; concert programming; analysis and performance
- Mexican music and digital technology: electronic repositories, digitization of documentary sources, scores and recordings, metadata retrieval (MusicXML, OCR), computational processing and analysis possibilities
The conference will serve as the first academic meeting of the newly formed Study Group “Music and (Latin)American Studies” (MUSAM) of the Spanish Society of Musicology, which brings together Americanist musicologists from this scientific community. It will culminate in a series of concerts by outstanding ensembles in the field of early music, such as (among others) Il Giardino Armonico, Vandalia, Concerto 1700, Soloists of the Seville Baroque Orchestra, La Fontegara, Capella Prolationum & La Danserye, and Forma Antiqva (from 6 to 9 December). The concerts will take place in venues of historical and artistic interest in Úbeda and Baeza, World Heritage cities, within the framework of the XXI Early Music Festival of Úbeda & Baeza.
In 1917, the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States—still in force today—was promulgated. That year also witnessed the publication of the first history of music in Mexico: El arte musical en México by Alba Herrera y Ogazón. The year 1917 is, therefore, not only the starting point of a new Mexican constitutionalism but also that of the nascent historiography of Mexican music. In addition, it is a point of arrival that allows us to pose, in contrast to traditional historical narratives, a retrospective view of Mexican music from that time back to 1517, when the expedition of the Andalusian conquistador Francisco Hernández de Córdoba reached the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. The commemoration of both centenaries is an opportunity to reflect critically on the history of music in creole New Spain and independent Mexico, its practices, actors and discourses, their common elements and their differential characteristics in the broader framework of the musical traditions of Iberia and the Americas. At the same time, the conference aims to promote new perspectives of study in relation to Mexican music from three current paradigms: postcolonial criticism, performance studies and digital musicology.

- Mexican music and digital technology: electronic repositories, digitization of documentary sources, scores and recordings, metadata retrieval (MusicXML, OCR), computational processing and analysis possibilities
The conference will serve as the first academic meeting of the newly formed Study Group “Music and (Latin)American Studies” (MUSAM) of the Spanish Society of Musicology, which brings together Americanist musicologists from this scientific community. It will culminate in a series of concerts by outstanding ensembles in the field of early music, such as (among others) Il Giardino Armonico, Vandalia, Concerto 1700, Soloists of the Seville Baroque Orchestra, La Fontegara, Capella Prolationum & La Danserye, and Forma Antiqva (from 6 to 9 December). The concerts will take place in venues of historical and artistic interest in Úbeda and Baeza, World Heritage cities, within the framework of the XXI Early Music Festival of Úbeda & Baeza.
In 1917, the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States—still in force today—was promulgated. That year also witnessed the publication of the first history of music in Mexico: El arte musical en México by Alba Herrera y Ogazón. The year 1917 is, therefore, not only the starting point of a new Mexican constitutionalism but also that of the nascent historiography of Mexican music. In addition, it is a point of arrival that allows us to pose, in contrast to traditional historical narratives, a retrospective view of Mexican music from that time back to 1517, when the expedition of the Andalusian conquistador Francisco Hernández de Córdoba reached the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. The commemoration of both centenaries is an opportunity to reflect critically on the history of music in creole New Spain and independent Mexico, its practices, actors and discourses, their common elements and their differential characteristics in the broader framework of the musical traditions of Iberia and the Americas. At the same time, the conference aims to promote new perspectives of study in relation to Mexican music from three current paradigms: postcolonial criticism, performance studies and digital musicology.
