The word “resistance” is often associated with the wars that marked the history of the twentieth century. The music of “resistance” found a huge space in popular music, but also in celebratory and protest works with which many composers reacted to the violence of dictatorship.

But in a broader sense, the word resistance is also used in modern forms of musical art in association with anti-fascist themes, or linked to social rights movements (women, LGBT movements) and ethnic groups, or as a means of generational identity (such as punk, hip-hop or rap).

This symposium aims to engage with all forms of resistance that have been put into practice through various musical forms, styles and genres, both historical and contemporary. The programme committee encourages submissions within the following areas, although other topics are also welcome:

• Music under Wars and Dictatorships
• Music and Holocaust
• Popular Music and Rebellion
• Music and Racism
• Music and Human Rights
• Music and Social Critique
• Music and the Ideologies (including Music and Feminism)
• Music and Socio-Political Associations
• Music at the Margins of Official Cultures, Subcultures and Countercultures
• Young Music and Resistance
• Concerts, Recitals and Festivals as Spaces of Resistance
• Music and Critical Theory
• Music and Old and New Fascisms
• Music and Resistance in the Market and in the Cultural Industry
