At the Georg-August-Universität in Göttingen, Germany, music scholar Wouter Capitain's research Music and Human Exceptionalism will focus on (the creation of) the imaginary distinction between 'humans' and 'animals'. "I will analyse how twentieth-century popular artworks use music to create the idea that humans are 'different' than animals." "I am incredibly glad and very honoured that the Rubicon grant has been awarded to me," Capitain comments. "This is a wonderful opportunity to join Prof Birgit Abels' inspiring research group in Göttingen. I am very much looking forward to being able to fully immerse myself in this research project."
