- The guiding principle of this collection was to view modernism in music from the perspective of its ‘constitute outside’, a term introduced to Music Studies by J.P.E. Harper-Scott. The intention was to (re)define modernism ‘by probing its margins as much as by restating its supposed essence’. Consequently, many of the commissioned chapters focused on topics that have supposedly been excluded by modernism or to which it had a problematic relationship, such as popular music, mass culture and politics, postmodernism, history and tradition or emotion and affect. This interest in the marginal(ised) is also apparent in a novel emphasis on peripheral modernisms or migration, exile and diaspora. These principles are developed in the editors’ introduction. The selection of authors was similarly guided by inclusion and diversity in terms of nationality, gender and seniority, although the final outcome was not as balanced as originally intended. Editing duties were shared between Charles Wilson and Heile on an equal basis. The introduction was cowritten. Heile’s own contribution, ‘Musical modernism, global: Comparative observations’, focuses on modernist music from the geographic and cultural margins and is therefore closely linked to the overall conception of the volume.
