About

Barbara Dietlinger received her PhD in Music from the University of Chicago in 2021, where she defended her dissertation “Music and Commemoration in Early Modern Europe: Visual and Sonic Intersections of Remembrance.” Her primary research focuses on the interplay of music, visual art, and print culture in memory formation in Saxony, Bohemia, and the Low Countries. Her article “The Composer’s Influence on the Renarration of History: Heinrich Schütz’s Nun danket alle Gott, SWV 418,” was published in the 2019 issue of the Schütz-Jahrbuch. Additionally, she writes on opera and media, particularly television opera. Her current research project investigates the unlikely collaboration of West German and Czechoslovakian TV channels in producing TV operas and oratorios. She is also interested in digital humanities, quantitative historical research, and programming (Graduate Certificate in Digital Studies, 2021).
