Fairgrounds, such as the Basler Herbstmesse or the Knabenschiessen in Zurich, constitute a fundamental aspect of the history of popular culture in Switzerland and are to be valued and preserved, being recognized as living traditions belonging to our national cultural heritage by the Federal Office for Culture. Music has always been an integral part of the fairground experience, whether as live performances, or, since the 1830s, through the medium of mechanical instruments. This indissociable sonic aspect, which accompanies most forms of performances, attractions and fairground rides, is nearly completely overlooked in scholarly attempts to write the histories of fairground and showpeople culture. Yet musical instruments appear as one of its most endangered features, since old rides and instruments tend to be discarded to make space for new materials, because fairgrounds constantly evolve to fit new popular trends.
The proposed project addresses the urgency of this state-of-affairs, aiming at reconstructing musical practices in Swiss fairgrounds between 1830 and 1950. This aim will be reached in two phases: first, exploring musical practices and their social contexts, including a focus on mechanical instruments as material objects in their sonic, visual and technological dimensions; second, situate these practices into the historical context of popular theater in Switzerland by selecting specific fairgrounds as case studies, finally leading to an incursion into the impact of the world of fairgrounds on the arts in the 19th
- and 20th
- centuries, particularly in music and cinema.
