Musicology across Borders

The cross-border phenomenon is a defining methodological and aesthetic concept of musical postmodernism. As such, it has influenced the process of shaping many aspects of postmodern compositions, in principle resulting in their complex identity. Simultaneously, perhaps more indirectly than directly, the mentioned phenomenon has also affected the field of musicology. Not only because musicology has always been immersed in the research of current musical phenomena and tendencies, but also because of its own, autonomous development requirements and internal stimuli. Therefore, my presentation will focus on those questions of postmodern musicology, which reveal its cross-border character in the sphere of its main issues: language and subjects.
