From: Kyle Frackman <[email protected]> Dear Colleagues, I am a newcomer to this list and have a question about musical performances/concerts in film. For a current research project dealing with an East German film, I am wondering whether there is a theoretical vocabulary for talking about the phenomenon of displaying such performances. Is there a method for categorizing these kinds of musical additions to the narrative? In the film I'm currently working on, these performances are usually instances of characters' attending concerts, so the music is serving a diegetic purpose. Any suggestions of readings would be welcome.
