DESCRIPTION:Aurélie Vialette (Stony Brook University)\n\n“Musical Philan
 thropy: The Working Class Spectacle”\n\nIn creating the workers' choral 
 groups in Catalonia\, the Cors de Clavé\, the Composer-philanthropist (Ca
 talan politician and composer Josep Anselm Clavé\, 1824-74) presented him
 self to society as a public tamer. From their inception\, the choruses wer
 e united by a rhetoric of communitarian love. I argue that the rhetoric of
  their motto (“Educate yourselves and be free\, unite and be strong\, lo
 ve yourselves and be happy”) enabled the philanthropist to control and d
 isplace any revolutionary stirrings of a working-class rebellion. The Cors
  de Clavé staged the male Catalan working class and turned it into a spec
 tacle to create an illusion of cultural equality. Instead\, it fetishized 
 the worker as a cultural subject and a fiction that allowed the creation o
 f an entrance of the workers into the public sphere by suspending\, throug
 h physically staging that fiction on stage\, the socio-political existing 
 tensions in the public sphere.\n\nAurélie Vialette is an Associate Profes
 sor at Stony Brook University in the department of Hispanic Languages and 
 Literature and affiliated faculty in the department of History. She earned
  her Ph.D. from the University of California\, Berkeley\, and specializes 
 in working-class culture\, popular music\, social movements\, gender studi
 es\, prison reform\, slavery networks\, and disability studies. Her first 
 book\, Intellectual Philanthropy: The Seduction of the Masses (Purdue UP\,
  2018)\, is the recipient of the 2019 North American Catalan Society book 
 award. Her co-edited volume\, Dissonances of Modernity: Music\, Text\, and
  Performance in Modern Spain (North Carolina Studies in Romance Languages 
 and Literatures)\, was published in March 2021. She has a forthcoming volu
 me with SUNY Press titled The Legacies of Slavery in Modern Iberia (19th-2
 1st centuries) and co-edited with Akiko Tsuchiya. Her new book manuscript 
 analyses penal colonies in the Philippines and is titled The Trial Run: Ge
 nder\, Disability and Penal Colonies in the Philippines in the 19th Centur
 y. Vialette has been invited professor at Yale University and the École N
