Summary: the project investigates the 1932 Cairo Arab Music Congress (henceforth simply either '1932' or 'the Congress') in order to reposition music in both humanistic and social scientific understandings of postcolonial modernity in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa/n) region. The Congress, the largest gathering of musicians and musicologists in the post-Ottoman world, engaged musicological attention thirty years ago, but very little since. It continues to be understood as an event marking the end of MENA musical tradition and the beginning of a deeply compromised modernity. This interdisciplinary project, examining both its past and its legacy, and engaging, through residencies, contemporary musical performance, poses a different question. What - beyond reaction - did it actually set in motion across the region? What aspects of its legacy remain unrecognized, and why? What futures - intellectual, institutional and cultural - does it still have?

摘要：该项目调查了 1932 年开罗阿拉伯音乐大会（以下简称“1932”或“大会”），以便在 MENA（中东和北非/n）后殖民现代性的人文和社会科学理解中重新定位音乐。 ） 地区。这次大会是后奥斯曼世界最大规模的音乐家和音乐学家聚会，三十年前吸引了音乐学的关注，但此后却很少关注。它仍然被认为是标志着中东和北非音乐传统终结和现代性严重妥协的开始的事件。这个跨学科项目审视了它的过去和遗产，并通过驻场、当代音乐表演进行参与，提出了一个不同的问题。除了反应之外，它实际上在整个地区引发了什么？其遗产的哪些方面仍未得到认可，为什么？它还有什么未来——知识、制度和文化？
