Ideology in words and music : proceedings of the 2nd Conference of the Word and Music Association Forum Stockholm, November 8-10, 2012

This volume presents a collection of articles based on papers
given at the 2nd conference of the Word and Music Association
Forum, held at Stockholm, in November 2012. The conference
topic, Ideology in Words and Music, attracted contributions
that reflected both the variety and the depth of interactions
among music, words and various forms of ideology. The
essays in this collection address such topics as the influence of
ideology on the composition and reception of musico-literary
works, intermedial references to music in literature, and
ideological presumptions affecting conceptions of both music
and of word and music studies itself.
The Word and Music Association Forum (WMAF) is a network
of emerging scholars in word and music studies, founded in
2009 to offer graduate students and post-docs a forum for
presenting and discussing work in word and music studies.
