Předpoklady
This course will introduce you to the study of music as a means of communication considering how it operates as both culture and commodity. In it we will examine the ways popular music intersects with the study of communication, culture, and media. We’ll consider music industries, musicians, audiences, and meanings, as well as the ways music is made and globally disseminated in light of the technological, cultural, historical, geographical, and political factors which affect what gets produced, how you hear it, and what it makes you feel and think about

Cíle předmětu
Provide students a greater understanding of how and why music functions as it does, as well as how the media industries specifically influence our engagement with music within the cultural formation in which we live. Discern how the media industries both contribute to and are shaped by that cultural formation within which music is manifested Discern how audience proclivities both contribute to and are shaped by the media industries operating within and between given cultural formations Enhance student interpretive abilities and critical thinking skills Enhance student abilities to think through the larger ethics and implications of media practices, cultural beliefs and our individual relationships to them. Develop an understanding of our society and culture and how music operates within it involves gaining a better understanding of ourselves and the intersections of identity, experience, and representation that connect us beyond our personal ‘borders’ of definition.
