Sarah Chaker und Michael Huber mit Amira Ben Saoud, Esra Özmen und Anne Wiederhold-Daryanavard
For this article, Sarah Chaker and Michael Huber prepared, moderated and contextualized a panel discussion that took place at the conference “Parallel Societies – Effects of Structural Juxtapositions on Popular Music, Its Research and Mediation” on 22 October 2022 at the mdw – University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna. The aim of both this event and the contribution is to make voices from Austrian (popular) musical life heard in the debate on “parallel societies”. With Amira Ben-Saoud, Esra Özmen and Anne Wiederhold-Daryanavard, prominent representatives of contemporary music life discuss the conference topic from various fields and viewpoints – cultural journalism, event management, popular music production and transcultural cultural mediation – thus providing vivid insights into their everyday professional lives, while also discussing observed or personal experiences of social inequality in everyday life and the (popular) music world. Another focus of the discussion was on the individual, subjective and professional strategies our panelists have developed to counter constructions and effects of „parallel societies“.
