Stratégies pour une pédagogie alternative de l’histoire de la musique : trois études de cas autour de rencontres interculturelles

This article revisits three conventional topics of Western European music history by considering perspectives that account for the global movements of music, and the activities and impacts of marginalized or racialized individuals. Through three case studies set in the eleventh and sixteenth centuries, the article sheds light on intercultural encounters, shifting power dynamics, and fluid identities. It also offers pedagogical tools and activities tailored for teaching the history of European music at the post-secondary level. Our objective is to reveal the complexity and plurality of ethnic and social identity in Western European music, thereby contributing to a more nuanced understanding and teaching of its history.
