Overall Educational Objective To become familiar with the intersections between music, society and politics
Course Description This course enables students to become familiar with the intersections between music, society and politics. It will give a wide range of perspectives covering topics such as music and politics, music and protest, music and industries. Other main topics include the interactions between music and the emergence of legitimate cultures, sub-cultures and modernization efforts. The first part of the course aims to explore theoretical approaches used to discuss music and various other topics (politics, cultures, sub-cultures, industries, protests) that are inherently linked with music. The second part of the course offers a range of articles discussing the politicization of music in the 20th century as exemplified by different countries. In this part, students are also expected to make presentations that relate to the course subjects and materials.
Course Description in Turkish Bu ders, öğrencilerin müzik, toplum ve siyaset arasındaki kesişme noktalarına aşina olmalarını sağlar. Bu ders, müzik ve politika, müzik ve protesto, müzik ve endüstri gibi konuları kapsayan geniş bir perspektif yelpazesi sunacaktır. Diğer ana başlıklar, müzik ile meşru kültürlerin, alt kültürlerin ortaya çıkışı ve modernleşme çabaları arasındaki etkileşimleri içerir. Dersin ilk bölümü, müziği ve doğası gereği müzikle bağlantılı olan çeşitli diğer konuları (politika, kültürler, alt kültürler, endüstriler, protestolar) tartışmak için kullanılan teorik yaklaşımları keşfetmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Dersin ikinci bölümü, 20. yüzyılda müziğin siyasallaşmasını farklı ülkelerden örneklerle tartışan bir dizi makale sunar. Bu bölümde öğrencilerden ayrıca ders konuları ve materyalleri ile ilgili sunumlar yapmaları beklenmektedir.
