MLA 2023: San Francisco (January 5-8th)
At Work and at Play: Opera, Musical Performance, and Reflections on (Creative) Labor: Many theorists have considered the relationship between art and work. This panel will both participate in and further such conversations via papers that consider the more specific relationship between work and musical performance. Submissions may consider theoretical questions (what is the nature of creative labor?), and or more practical questions regarding the economics of artistry or current conditions for creating and performing during a pandemic.
Please submit a brief abstract and bio for this guaranteed session by March 28th to naomi.morgenstern@utoronto.ca
