About the Journal

Definition

Antec Revista Peruana de Investigación Musical is a space for the circulation of academic research works in the field of music, created and supported by the Center for Research, Musical Creation and Publications –now Research Institute– of the National University of Music of Peru.

Antec aims to make the generation of knowledge in the field of music visible, covering different thematic areas of musical activity such as:

  • Musical performance: techniques, styles and interpretative approaches in different musical genres.
  • Musical creation: musical composition and production, new techniques of sound creation.
  • Musical education: pedagogy, musical teaching and innovative approaches in musical training.
  • Musicology: history, theory and analysis of music, with emphasis on cultural and social contexts.
  • Music and human sciences: music and its relationship with anthropology, sociology, philosophy or psychology.
  • Music and aesthetics: music as a form of aesthetic expression, analysing its emotional, symbolic and artistic impact.
  • Music and media: how music communicates through different platforms and media, and its role in social communication.
  • Music and technologies: impact of technologies on musical creation, production, dissemination and interpretation.
  • Music in interdisciplinary practice: music and its relationship with cinema, theatre or dance.

For publication, the originality of the topic is required, as well as its potential contribution to an understanding of musical facts in their respective human contexts. In this vision, space is provided for the study of the different forms of musical expression that our societies have adopted to express positive content.

Its target audience is the academic community, especially researchers, professionals and students, who seek to delve deeper into the content of the thematic areas addressed by the journal.
