Edmund's mama sections: Ode on mums or problematic cliché?
Österreich - The Austropop Hitduo Edmund released its latest song "MamaCtschnitte" on Friday. This title. https://www.oe24.at/leute/mamamschnitte-song-auf-um-edmund/629445114 As a "ODE is thought of and a traditional image of women. The lines of text like "You are a mom mom mama cuts - the woman that I like from head to toe!" And "a everyone who knows di has long since fallen for you. If you were single, everyone wants to want more", contain clichés about the frausin and raise questions about the current perception of mothers.
Edmund, consisting of Roman Messner and Markus Kadenky, describes the term "mama sections" itself as a charming compliment and not as pejorative. The artists in particular want to encourage women during pregnancy to feel beautiful and valued. Messner was inspired by his partner and her experience as a mother while writing the song, while Kadensky leads him to "certainly once already dated a mom".
tour and pyrotechnics
From May 23, the duo will go on tour and is planned for 18 concerts in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. The tour promises an impressive show with a lot of pyrotechnics and will include the greatest hits in the duo.
In a larger context of musical freedom, the publication of "mama sections" is also of interest with regard to artistic forms of expression. According to the UNESCO, artistic freedom is a comprehensive concept that includes the right to support, disseminate and remuneration of artistic work, as well as the right to freedom of movement. https://www.unesco.at/kultur/ Vielkultureller-print forms/kuenstlelic-freedom says the definition of artistic freedom that artists culture says that Forms of expression without censorship or pressure of state or non-state actors. Access to artistic works is considered a fundamental right.
Freedom to create art is particularly important at a time when challenges such as racist assault and restrictions on social media. A monitoring system called "Arts Rights Justice Austria" was set up in 2019 to document injuries to artistic freedom in Austria. The aim is to increase the visibility of such injuries and provide support for those affected.
feminist movements and music
The discussion about "mama sections" also meets developments within the feminist music movement, which has become an increasingly vital influence in the music scene since the 1970s. A large number of series of events and festivals, such as the "Women's Music E. V." founded in 1984 And the "freed from silence" festival were launched to promote the presence of women in music and to draw attention to discrimination. https://www.digitales-deutsches-frauenarchiv.de/themen/vom-schweigen-befreit-feminist-feminist-nach-1945-bis-Heute The festival "Heroines of Sound", founded in 2014, also focused on electronic music with feminist agenda, to strengthen the visibility of women in music business.
Although significant progress has been made, equality in the music company remains a central concern. The current publication of "Mama -Interge" could be seen as part of a major discussion about the role of women in music and culture, which is also advanced by the work of artists such as Edmund.
