Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Contemporary networked digital technology has given rise to host of new relationships between sound and image, new audio and audiovisual genres that exploit them, and new ways of producing, circulating and consuming this content. This course aims to introduce students to some of the exciting and innovative interdisciplinary approaches and modes of analysis that scholars and practitioners have been directing towards these emerging musical and audiovisual practices.Through a weekly reading, which will be elaborated in the lecture, the course will cover a selection of aesthetic, technological, socioeconomic, ethnographic, and empirical approaches to music in contemporary digital and multimedia contexts. We will strike a balance between a discussion of concrete issues illustrated with particular examples, on the one hand, and broader theoretical and practical contexts for the cases, on the other.

1. 50% short questions designed to test students’ recall and understanding of the basic ideas covered, and
2. 50% extended essay in which students will demonstrate deeper critical engagement with one topic of their choice.
