About the Journal

The International Journal of Music Mediation (IJMM) is an interdisciplinary, English-language, double-blind peer-reviewed open access journal dealing with music mediation as a hybrid discipline in all its facets. The core of the journal consists of scholarly articles that reflect the most current state of the academic discourse. In addition, the journal is open to practice reflections, interviews by and with practitioners from the field, portraits and conference reports in order to facilitate an exchange between research and practice. Book reviews promote awareness and critical engagement with relevant, current literature on the topic.

Current Issue

Vol. 2 No. 1 (2025): Music Mediation and the Socio-Ecological Transition
Cover of the first issue of the International Journal of Music Mediation (IJMM) - 25/1/1

How do participatory and socially engaged musical practices – supported by music mediation – contribute through their “intervention strategies” (Fourcade 2014) to reflection on territorial transformation? Can they act as accelerators of socio-ecological transition? Put differently: what happens when music mediation fosters engagement with socio-environmental concerns? For this second issue of IJMM, and drawing on the concept of “transition” introduced by Rob Hopkins in 2008, we ask whether and how music mediation can play “a catalytic role in enabling communities to explore and imagine their own responses” (Hopkins 2014, 134) to environmental challenges.
