Biography
Dr Christine Dysers is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Musicology at Uppsala University. In her current research project, which is funded by Vetenskapsrådet, she investigates the aesthetics of repetition in contemporary music.
Christine’s research focuses on music after 1989, with a particular focus on contemporary composition and repetitive aesthetics. Her research interests include music and the political, musical borrowing, and the notion of the uncanny. Methodologically, her work occupies the spaces between musicology and philosophy.
Christine holds a PhD in Music from City, University of London. In 2021, she was appointed as a Fulbright Visiting Scholar in the Department of Music at Columbia University. She holds a PGCert in Academic Practice and is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (HEA). Christine has published in peer-reviewed journals such as Perspectives of New Music, TEMPO, and Musik & Ästhetik. She is the author of Critical Guides to Contemporary Composers: Bernhard Lang (Intellect, 2023) and the co-editor of The Music of Absence: An Aesthetics of Loss in the New Millennium (forthcoming with Edinburgh University Press, 2025).
