| Course Objectives: |
This course primarily aims to discuss the phenomena of music in social contexts. In the courses, technical details are entered to the extent required by the social sciences perspective. A second objective is to make a critical and dialectical reregulation of the holiness or magic feature attributed to the widespread use of music. Thirdly, it is aimed to reveal the relations between music facts and production relations. Finally, fourthly, the course aims to improve the ability of all participants to critically and socially examine music. |
| Course Content: |
Music, beyond being a pure artistic expression or an autonomous and isolated symbolic space, includes a series of codes that result from social structure and change. In addition to its ontological and technical features, music emerges as a universe of meaning in which many functions are integrated in social life. This course aims to analyze the socially constructed dimensions of music and the specific cultural conditions in which a particular musical expression takes shape. In addition, the sociology of music seeks to reveal the complex, intertwined, sometimes invisible ties of the conditions and contexts that give rise to music as a social action.This course is not a simple scientific scientific description of the relative or secondary elements of music (eg, lyrics, environmental conditions, communities, popular genres); it is an in-depth analysis of the language of music itself, without violating the limits of musicology. This requires focusing on the interdependencies of the technical and symbolic. Both areas cannot be claimed to be fully isolated and unique. In the courses, the music samples that complete the relevant topic will be listened, visual materials and technical explanations will be given. |
