SUMMARY:Graduate Music Forum Conference: THE MATTER OF THE POROUS
DESCRIPTION:<h2><strong>Harvard Graduate Music Forum Conference 2026:&nbsp;</strong><br><em><strong>THE MATTER OF THE POROUS</strong></em><strong>&nbsp;</strong></h2><h3><strong>Keynote Lectures:</strong><br>Katherine In-Young Lee<br>Kerim Yasar<br>Báyò Akómoláfé&nbsp;<br>Michael Birenbaum Quintero</h3><p><span>The recent "material turn" challenges us to reconsider the foundations of the humanities, the production of the voice, [anti/]biography of bodies (human or non-human; musical or otherwise), embodiment and the social and politicized relationship an object holds to its surroundings. We are invested in exploring the tension between performer/audience, ethnographer/informant, instrument/player, and so forth. A central question which arises from this endeavour is what are the potentials and pitfalls of an analysis that privileges the agency of matter?&nbsp;</span></p><p>For more information, visit the <a href="https://engage.gsas.harvard.edu/event/12333561">GSAS Engage website</a>.</p>
