The Research Group for the Study of Music, Critical Theory and Communication (GTCC) brings together a group of researchers, ranging from graduate students to senior researchers, including composers, performers and critics from different nationalities, with an interest in the aesthetic, social and media aspects of music; the interaction of music with other arts, particularly cinema, literature and the visual arts; and issues of power, gender, criticism, reception, representation, intertextuality and intermediality. With a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary research and encompassing both popular and classical genres without any chronological restrictions, the GTCC seeks to foster critical thinking about music, integrating theory and practice and promoting collaborations at the national and international levels. The group houses four research clusters: CYSMUS, which focuses on the study of music in relation to new media; NEMI, dedicated to researching music in the press; NEGEM, which investigates issues of gender and sexuality; and NPM, a reading group that explores theoretical questions at the intersection of musicology with philosophy and the humanities.
