Cornell professor of musicology Judith Peraino's Charter Day panel will be held Sunday, April 26, 9-10:30 a.m., in Alice Statler Auditorium. Your work focuses on several areas that seem quite divergent: medieval music, rock music and queer theory. How are they related? The thing that connects the areas I work on is the fundamental idea of how music shapes subjectivity and identity, and a sense of self and what we think of as self-expression. In medieval music I work on troubadour and trouvère music, what is mostly known as courtly love songs. The love song is very much a popular topic for medieval audiences as well as rock audiences.
