Article 5 Database

PLEASE NOTE: THE RESEARCH GROUP "MUSIC, CONFLICT AND THE STATE" WILL BE DISBANDED IN ITS PRESENT FORM IN APRIL 2014 AND THESE PAGES WILL NOT BE MAINTAINED AFTER THIS POINT.



The Article 5 database is an internal resource with the aim of cataloguing instances of the use of music and references to music and musical practice in the context of torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment. The database catalogues scholarly literature on this project as well as reports of incidents and any other material useful for researchers working on this project. Since the aim is to establish as complete a picture of this issue as possible, there are no chronological or geographical limits.

Researchers interested in accessing the database are encouraged to contact us. We are also keen to hear from you if you have information that you think may be relevant for the database.
