Course objectives

This course concentrates on two various, however related, approaches to the problems of music (and art in general). The means of music (resp. art) production are commented from the point of view of the sign and communication theories. The differences between language and non-language sign systems as well as the basic terms (e.g. Peirce's classification of signs, terminological contributions of Czech structuralism) are explained. The processes of music production, interpretation, reception, production of meta-signs are modelled from the point of view of the theory of communication.
