ABOUT THIS EVENT
Reactionary Rhetoric: Online versus Print in Musical Research (Is the Internet’s Version of Music History Fact or Fake News?)
The appreciation of music from both the performer’s and the listener’s standpoint is dependent upon understanding its societal and historical context. Where is such knowledge to be found today? Do online resources help or hinder our quest for knowledge and understanding? Does the vast profusion of materials and information available online equate to increased knowledge and understanding? Does it offer an easy pathway to clarity of understanding, or does it merely cloud issues with fake news? Is it wise, or indeed safe, to rely upon the open forum of online resources in our academic quest for knowledge and understanding, or do the traditional print media still hold the essential keys?
