Course objectives
The seminar course is focused on collective critical reading, analysis and discussion of essential Anglophone musicological texts of approximately the last thirty years. By reading compulsory literature and subsequent discussion (see thematic areas below), students will comprehend various types of research and writing on musical analysis, history and criticism. The course provides brief and practical acquaintance with the field in several of its dominant contemporary forms, but particularly develops their language skills with a focus on musicological conceptual apparatus, introduces them to developments in the field and helps them orient themselves in often very complex theoretical issues of Anglophone musicological discourse, which in recent years is increasingly gaining in importance. During the semester, students will also read the individual chapters of Joseph Kerman's "Musicology" and proceedings "Rethinking Music" - two books, which established the paradigm of Anglophone musicology of recent thirty, or ten years - discuss them and apprehend them.
