Павел Няхаеў - прэзентацыя ““Даследванні сучаснай музычнай культуры і крэатыўных індустрый у Беларусі і Ўсходняй Еўропе: досвед ЕГУ»” - 21 красавіка 2018, “Дзень з ЕГУ ў Мінску”

“Якую ролю музыка грае ў розных візіях ідэальнага грамадства — ад Платона і Томаса Мора да Берліоза і Скінэра? Як уяўляюць сацыяльныя функцыі музыкі фантасты і анты-ўтапісты? Як палітычныя і творчыя рухі апошняга стагоддзя грунтуюць свае ўтапічныя сусветы на рытме і музыцы? Дзе мяжа паміж гармоніяй і тыраніяй?”
