Next year’s appointment with the Gustav Mahler Research Centre Innsbruck/Toblach Conferences will focus on the topic of ‘Mahler and Humor’. This Call for Papers aims to reach potential contributors from all stages of their academic career, who would deliver their paper along with invited speakers. PhD candidates and ECRs are therefore also encouraged to submit their proposal.
The pivotal role of humor and irony in Mahler’s compositional practice and worldview is undisputed, and has inspired a wide array of articles, monographs and theses ever since the composer’s lifetime. Yet some facets of humor and irony still deserve more scholarly attention. As a rhetorical device, as well as a compositional attitude, humor can take a grotesque, caricatural, or satyrical form, but it can also serve as an agent of self-reflection, socio-political criticism and carry both tragic and comedic value in musical performance.
