« GOING VIRAL: Music and Emotions during Pandemics (1679–1919). VIRUS - Beiträge zur Sozialgeschichte der Medizin|VIRUS.

This project provides a comparative history of the imbrication of music in the emotional experiences of pandemics. It develops a conceptualisation and methodology for studying music and emotions across history, generates historical knowledge about music’s emotional dimensions in three major pandemics – the Bubonic Plague, Cholera and Spanish Flu –, highlighting both difference and continuity and provides a solid conceptual, methodological and historical foundation for comparative studies on music, emotions and pandemics across a vast range of disciplines. The results will not only be applicable in related historical settings but also enable a meaningful interdisciplinary discourse with the Social and Natural Sciences about music and emotions in pandemics, including Covid-19.
