    Cultures of Modernity in Music and Sound

    About

    The degree program Cultures of Modernity in Music and Sound focuses on questions regarding the configuration and conception of music and tone and the practices, discourses, media related to them, as well as questions regarding musics place in modern societies within the context of globalization. Modernity is understood here in the sociological-historical sense, a sense that originated around 1800, in contrast to the aesthetic-artistic sense of modernism. Given this sense of modernity, the focus of the degree program is less on certain varieties of music than on the social, cultural, technological and media-historical conditions and processes (e.g. industrialization and media transmission) in which humans play music and produce tones, and are influenced by both. Students deepen their scientific knowledge of music and tone and learn to critically analyze the limitations of academic theories and discourses. Additionally, students broaden their methodological competencies, which enables them to autonomously develop scientific ideas and implement them in self-organized research projects. By delving into aspects of musical globalization students are also sensitized to intercultural communication. Possible lines of work: Media (radio, television, online music portals), press (music criticism), music publishers (proofreading, editing), music and media industry, the cultural and creative economy (music and sound production and distribution, culture and event management ), musical theater (dramaturgy, director assistance), music libraries/archives, industry and trade associations, foundations, academia (research management, teaching/research at universities, research institutions).
