Abstract communalities: Reconsidering genre for digital times
Long-standing views in (popular) music studies consider notions of genre closely linked to musico-cultural communities. Concepts such as genre world, genre culture and the prominence of ‘scene-based’ genres (Lena 2012) in popular music historiography testify to this. However, current developments – such as the networked thriving of SOME folksonomies, expanding MIR-based taxonomies, the ‘contextual turn’ in music streaming (Prey 2018) and socio-aesthetic ideals of ‘post-genre’ (James 2017) – raise questions about this linkage. In this presentation, I take these questions as a starting point for arguing that musical genre theory might benefit from considering processes of abstraction as central to categorical infrastructures and communalities as these develop in digitized musical life. Specifically, the concept of ‘musico-generic abstraction’ (Krogh 2019) aims at theorizing the productive de-contextualization entailed in the manufacture of general terms (not least by digital means) and the potential, mutual mediation of genre and related types or classes, for example, of style, mood, activity, or location. Two examples will be considered: First, the role (and persistent importance) of genres in individualized, context-driven music recommendation, particularly, in the context of Spotify. Secondly, the construction of communalities in tag-based communication about music, particularly, in the realm of producer-oriented audio distribution platforms (e.g. SoundCloud and Bandcamp).
Mads Krogh is Associate Professor of Popular Music Culture at the School of Communication and Culture, Aarhus University, Denmark. His research deals with issues of genre, mediation and practice, drawing inspirations from cultural sociology, assemblage, affect, and actor network theory. Recent publications and ongoing projects include Music radio: Building communities, mediating genres (Bloomsbury 2019), Methodologies of affective experimentation (Palgrave 2022), Musical genre: Assemblage and abstraction (Bloomsbury, contracted).
PlaySpace is an arena for discussion and collaboration around the themes of music and research. Playspace offers opportunities for scholars to discuss recent works in an informal setting, encouraging the sharing of new ideas and approaches to inquiry.

The Last Days of Judas Iscariot
Performing Arts
Acting
Set in a courtroom in Purgatory, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot is a hilarious, poignant, thought-provoking work by Pulitzer-prize winning playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis. Boasting a large, zany cast of characters, the play asks one of the most plaguing questions in the Christian ideology: what happened to Judas Iscariot? The facts (we think!) we know are these: Judas was the disciple of Jesus who betrayed his friend and teacher to the authorities. He is seen as the man responsible for Jesus’s death; afterwards, Judas fell into despair and hung himself from an olive tree; since then, he has been suffering for his deeds deep in Hell, and will continue to do so for all eternity. Is that really fair? Was Judas the duplicitous master of his own fate, a much-suffering pawn used for Jesus’s ends, or just a man who made a mistake?
The play uses flashbacks to an imagined childhood and lawyers who call for the testimonies of such witnesses as Mother Teresa, Caiaphas, Saint Monica, Sigmund Freud, and Satan.

Iolanthe
Opera
Opera & Voice
The Queen of the Fairies meets Britain’s legal establishment in this hilarious comic opera from the masters of the genre, Gilbert & Sullivan. Since its sparkling 1882 premiere at London’s new Savoy Theatre, the fantastical satire Iolanthe has delighted audiences with its clever combination of romance, humor, political satire, and the memorable musical numbers that made Gilbert and Sullivan household names. Set in the world of the fairies and the mortal world, this fantasy story centers on the titular character, Iolanthe, who falls in love with a mortal man, bearing him a child who must tackle the world of love as half man, half fairy. A fantastic (in the true sense of the word) mélange of Victorian pantomime and the British Legal establishment, ‘Iolanthe’ is a satire on the power of hereditary rule and the class system, that classic Victorian sacred cow. And wherever the Victorians had their sacred cows, there was WS Gilbert ready to milk them for all the laughs he could get. The operas are, of course still relevant today because those sacred cows are still with us, they are just fatter! This beloved classic is still a timeless favorite of opera companies, schools, and concert stages all over the world. Our production will be directed by Stuart Maunder, with music under the baton of Conductor Johannes Fritzsch.
