Why is it important?
The paradigm of cultural mobility is applied to music history and discusses cultural-historical contexts in their processual order. Parameters of cultural integration, distribution and transfer will be examined, all of which are inseparably linked to questions of cultural and social identity in the French musical of the 1930s and 1940s.
Perspectives
With my article, I would like to open the black box of the French Film Musical of the 1930s to 1950s and, by means of the innovative theoretical approach of cultural mobility, cast an alternative perspective on the historiography of music in the years immediately before, during and after Vichy and the occupation through Nazi Germany in France.
