M\u00e1rio Vieira de Carvalho is a retired Full Professor at the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences of NOVA University of Lisbon (FCSH-UNL) and an integrated researcher at CESEM (Centre for the Study of Sociology and Musical Aesthetics), a research unit he founded in 1997 and directed, establishing it as an internationally renowned centre of excellence in the field of music\/musicology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He holds a degree in Law from NOVA University of Lisbon (1968) and obtained a PhD in Musicology from Humboldt University of Berlin in 1985 (summa cum laude).

It had already been translated into Portuguese and published in 1993 (INCM<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since the mid-1960s, he has been engaged in music criticism and advocacy, with his scientific work primarily focused on the sociology of music.
