The Jurassic Park of Historical Culture

Introduction: Making History Through Music Performance and Education

“…From a rhetorical perspective, Butler understands "constituting acts not only as constituting the identity of the actor but as constituting that identity as a compelling illusion, an object of belief" (Butler, 1988, p. 520;cf., Burke, 1992), Thus, in citing historical signs we can promote a persuasive argument for settling a norm, but at the same time we also construct a representation of a possible reality that has political, ideological and social implications through inclusion and exclusion (see, e.g., Liakos & Bilalis, 2017; I return to this below). As such, conforming to certain norms, such as educational policies or some perceived ontology of HIP, and educating others to do the same, these structures are pretty much maintained.…”

“…243-244, 246). Through the additional perspectives above -primarily those of Illeris (2012), Liakos and Bilalis (2017), and Rueger (2011) -I conclude that performative musicology, as a distinct, dedicated focus, has something to offer, because it goes beyond the idea of understanding musical practice from an artefact-performance-reception view, to pronouncing its agential advocacy for change (or sometimes for resisting change).

Ψηφιακά Παιχνίδια, Ιστορία Και Ιστορική Συνείδηση

“…Η αποκοπή ιστορικών προσωπικοτήτων από το ιστορικό πλαίσιο μέσα στο οποίο έδρασαν, όπως ο Χίτλερ, τις μετατρέπει σε viral και τους επιτρέπει να επαναλαμβάνονται και να αναπαράγονται ακόμη και σε αντιφατικά πλαίσια (Liakos & Bilalis, 2017 ). 45 Οι Liakos & Bilalis (2017), αξιοποιώντας την έννοια mytheme Levi -Strauss, τη μικρότερη μονάδα του μύθου, υποστηρίζουν ότι και στον χώρο της ιστορικής κουλτούρας υπάρχουν ανάλογες μικρές μονάδες, που λειτουργούν ως ιοί και αναπαράγονται, όταν προσκολληθούν σε ξένο περιεχόμενο.…”
