2500240 Musicology | FB | 1 | 1 |
It is desirable (but not strictly necessary) to have a basic musical knowledge.
The aim of the subject is to make students know the link between the music and the context of the culture they manifest themselves. This connection makes evident the difference of cultural and organizational environments of organization of the society, in correspondence with the various logic of musical structure and the different environments of activity where each music is produced.
The educational outcome must be a broad enough picture of music that is located and explained from the corresponding human environment. On the other hand, this will allow to perceive the great cultural areas with respect to the music and to show the basic elements of the culturalist approach in the study of the music.
Music as a communicative process. Implications in thinking about musical activity.
The logics of the sound order. The clash between cultural paradigms.
Tour of the sung and spoken polyphonies in Europe.
Eastern Europe: from the Albanian Isopolifonia to the Aksak models.
Music in central Asia: singing of throats and multifonics.
The music of the aborigines in the Arnthem region: didjeridoo, songlines and dreamtime.
The cultural logics of Balinese music.
South Africa and apartheid: music and politics; music and resistance.
The cult / popular dichotomies; orality / writing; anonymous / author
Gender issues in music.
The cultural basis and the biological foundation of music in the works of John Blacking.
The basic concepts of ethnomusicology: ethical / ethical; purpose / function; ethnicity; inculturation / acculturation; appropriation; genre; social relevance; ethnicity; waste patterns, narrativity; synchronous / diachronic.
Introduction to technology applied to musicology research.
The subject combines theoretical and practical concepts. Thus, expository sessions of general theoretical training will be alternated with others where the theoretical concepts are debated collectively. These discussions can be carried out both in class and online if necessary.
The achievement of the concepts related to ethnomusicology and culturalism within the context of the social sciences and humanities as well as the ability to situate the major musical and cultural areas studied will be assessed.

The evaluation of the subject is based on:
Two written tests that will aim to show the assimilation of the basic theoretical concepts acquired through the expositive classes. These two exams, distributed in the middle and end of the course, will each have an evaluation of 50%. It will be compulsory for the overall calculation of the note to have passed each test separately with more than 5 out of 10.
"No evaluablet" will be considered as a student who has not been submitted to any of the two proofs of knowledge. A re-evaluation is foreseen for those students who do not reach the minimum of qualification.
Tests may be reviewed on a date and place advertised by the teacher on the Virtual Campus.
An initial evaluation will be done that will not be counted in any case in the final grade of the subject.
