CfP: Politics, Feminisms, Music. European and global manifestations from 1945 to the present day

Deadline: 15 August 2025
Different political systems or political milieus give rise to different forms of feminism. These divergent facets of feminism form regional splinters and offshoots, but also supra-regional alliances. From the various feminist positions, the function of art – shaped by political backgrounds – has different meanings. The conference will therefore focus on art, particularly music, produced by feminist groups and the various forms of feminism represented. 

This event, organised by the German Historical Institute and the Goethe Institute in Rome, aims to establish an international research network and stimulate further discussion between contemporary historians and musicologists.

The conference will take place from 5 to 7 November 2025 
Languages: German, English and Italian
