110 學年第 1 學期 開設課程

In Musicology Practicum I (autumn 2018), we focused on major writings addressing issues that occur often in scholarship in 19th- and 20th-century music, such as music aesthetics, gender studies, Orientalism, and social critique of modernity by scholars of the Frankfurt school. In this semester we will continue in a similar vein, but with a greater emphasis on works in ethnomusicology, as well as music’s relationship to social- and cultural studies. We will discuss how and why subject matter such as nationalism occur in both historical- and ethnomusicology, yet is approached differently in each discipline. We will also pick up some topics that we discussed last semester, including the issue of tastes, audience, and the culture of listening. Furthermore, we will discuss topics that come up more often in ethnomusicology such as approaches and methodologies in fieldwork.
