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. | ||||
