Content
The seminar aims to train the students in the musicological study of non-musical sources, so as to introduce them to the methods of social history (more precisely to the analysis of religious behaviors and practices). It intends to provide the necessary tools for the achievement of scientific works in the field of history and historical musicology.
To this end, the seminar consists of various case studies dealing with the production and the consumption of ritual and devotional music. It considers the formation processes of the sources, the different documentary analysis that can be applied, and the value of the excepted results.
Moreover, the seminar provides a training for the students own researches and works: from the discovery of a new archive holding to the final interpretation of the collected data, including musical philology and music edition.
