About Us
The research network Trayectorias / Cultural Exchanges: Music between Latin America and Europe was established in 2014 for the study of the musical exchanges between Latin America and Europe after 1945. In 2015, the first conference took place in Rio de Janeiro as a collaboration of the founding members Omar Corrado (University of Buenos Aires), Daniela Fugellie (Universidad Alberto Hurtado, Santiago de Chile), Christina Richter Ibáñez (University of Tübingen), María Alice Volpe (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro), a representative of the Ibero-American Institute Berlin (IAI) Ulrike Mühlschlegel, as well as Matthias Pasdzierny and Dörte Schmidt (Center for the Study of the Musical Culture of the Postwar Period at the University of the Arts Berlin).
Since then, the network has grown and organized international conferences in Berlin (2017), Santiago de Chile (2019), and Heidelberg (2021). The discussed topics embrace different perspectives on the musical exchanges during the 20th century, among them migration and exile, cultural politics, tours by orchestras and soloists, music festivals, and musicological production, from different theoretical and methodological perspectives.
