Požadavky

This course will introduce you to the study of music as a means of communication considering how it operates as both culture and commodity. In it we will examine the ways popular music intersects with the study of communication, culture, and media. We’ll consider music industries, musicians, audiences, and meanings, as well as the ways music is made and globally disseminated in light of the technological, cultural, historical, geographical, and political factors which affect what gets produced, how you hear it, and what it makes you feel and think about
