Conference “Beethoven and the Last Generation of Court Musicians in Germany”

Location: Beethoven-Haus Bonn
Date: December 4-7, 2015
Hosts: Beethoven-Haus Bonn (Dir. Malte Boecker, Prof. Dr. Bernhard Appel); FWF Project “The Operatic Library of Elector Maximilian Franz”, University of Vienna (Prof. Dr. Birgit Lodes, Dr. John Wilson, Mag. Elisabeth Reisinger)
Conference Languages: English, German

The theme of this conference is the “Beethoven generation” of court musicians from German- speaking Europe (timeframe c. 1780-1820), whose careers can be viewed from a wide range of perspectives and disciplinary approaches. Earlier in the 18th century, the court was the primary place of employment and education for most musicians, and indeed Beethoven and many of his contemporaries were raised, educated, and socialized in this system.

The Association of Continental American and Caribbean Studies and Culture (KonaK Vienna) is happy to announce the doctoral seminar “The global dimension in history and historiography” to be hosted by the Faculty of Historical and Cultural Studies at the University of Vienna, directed by Wolfgang Schmale (University of Vienna) and Christian Cwik (University of the West Indies at St. Augustine).

The doctoral seminar deals with questions relating to the global dimension of historical events, phenomena, structures, and processes and their consideration for scientific analysis, interpretation and text production. It addresses advantages, disadvantages, possibilities, impossibilities, theories, methods, as well as potential results and perspectives, and suggests a structured cooperation between regional experts. The emphasis will be on the role of the Congress of Vienna as a turning point for different parts of the global community with regard to the rise of imperialism since 1815, understood as a product of “global thinking”.
