Résumé:Building on scholarship exploring the relationship between music and politics in the 20th century, this issue seeks to examine their transformations in the world today. The four articles presented here explore distinct national contexts, marked by hypercontemporary dynamics and events such as the Covid-19 pandemic, Donald Trump’s political rise, the war in Ukraine and broader mechanisms of influence and propaganda in a globalised world. They analyse highly contrasting forms of political mobilisation through music, from collective and highly institutionalised manifestations to more individual and marginal expressions emerging from Do-It-Yourself (DIY) practices. Together, these contributions provide an overview of the diversity of political uses of music and sound events in a context of rapidly reconfiguring media spaces, visibility regimes and modes of engagement.
