Hansjakob Ziemer received his PhD in Modern History from the Humboldt University in 2007. In his thesis he dealt with the cultural history of concert life in the beginning of the twentieth century in Frankfurt am Main in order to show the concert hall as a site where society came to terms with the cultural and social consequences of Modernity. He is also working on the history of emotions, of concert hall architecture, and of musicology. He is the co-editor of two large-scale projects: for OUP he coedited with Christian Thorau a handbook on the history of music listening in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries (January 2019), and with Daniel Morat he coedited a handbook Sound: Geschichte, Begriffe, Ansätze (Metzler, Summer 2018). His next project will address the history of journalistic knowledge in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
