Dr. Samuel Wilson is a Professor of Music, Philosophy, and the Arts in the Department of Academic Studies. His research focuses on critical and theoretical approaches to music and performance, with emphasis on materialist critiques, psychoanalysis, and temporal structures in contemporary art music. He has authored influential books such as New Music and the Crises of Materiality (2021) and edited volumes like Music—Psychoanalysis—Musicology (2018). His scholarship bridges philosophy, cultural studies, and musicology, analyzing works by composers like Cage, Reich, and Lachenmann through interdisciplinary lenses.
Wilson’s work interrogates how musical practices engage with materiality, neoliberalism, and modernist legacies. Recent articles explore topics such as 'musical time in fast capitalism,' 'sonic fetishism,' and Adorno’s theories in the context of new materialism. His research often intersects with posthumanism, examining how music constructs and deconstructs bodily and object-oriented relations. He has contributed to journals such as Contemporary Music Review and Journal of the Royal Musical Association.
No formal awards are listed, though his extensive publishing record indicates significant academic recognition. Advising and grants are not explicitly detailed in the provided materials.
