Theodor
W. Adorno:
zum 100. Geburtstag
A Symposium
3-5 April 2003
The year 2003 marks the centenary of Adorno's birth. The School of Music at the University of Texas at Austin will celebrate this event with "Theodor W. Adorno: zum 100. Geburtstag," a conference devoted to the rich legacy of Adorno's musical writings. The symposium, which will be held 3-5 April 2003 under the auspices of the newly created Center for American Music, brings together internationally recognized scholars for a discussion of three broad topics: Autonomy and Absolute Music; Mourning and Modernism; and the Culture Industry and the Dialectic of Enlightenment. Participants include Daniel K. L. Chua (Kings College), Lydia Goehr (Columbia University), Berthold Hoeckner (University of Chicago), Brian Hyer (University of Wisconsin at Madison), Richard Leppert (University of Minnesota), Thomas Nelson (Minneapolis), Sanna Pederson (University of Oklahoma), and Larson Powell (Texas A & M). There will be a panel of papers on Thursday afternoon and a series of roundtable discussion on Friday and Saturday. For further information, contact Jim Buhler (jbuhler@mail.utexas.edu), K. M. Knittel (knittel@uts.cc.utexas.edu), or Susan Jackson (s.jackson@mail.utexas.edu). Please see the schedule for times and locations.
