Content
This teaching unit is divided into two parts.
- The philosophical part approaches a history of the philosophy of music from the texts of philosophers, writers, theoreticians and musicians. The major concepts of aesthetics (ontology, time and space, language, reason-emotion, mimesis ...) will be defined during the presentation and then taken again in synthesis, so that the student can forge his own critical vocabulary.
- The sociological part addresses the major disciplines that deal with the social dimension of music: ethnomusicology, sociomusicology, media studies. In order to provide the students with critical tools allowing to consider this aspect of musical practices, it discusses reference texts that account for the evolution of these disciplines, and exposes various case studies that show their issues and limits.
