- Description
The "Hör-Wechsel" seminar focuses on musicians and musical phenomena that decisively shaped the 20th century of Western music - outside the so-called 'canon' and far from the mainstream. It is about musical outlaws, rebels and visionaries who worked against the grain of the times with their art and yet - or perhaps precisely because of this - were often far ahead of their time and anticipated discourses that are still virulent today. Musicians from a wide range of genres will be considered, from early jazz to punk and rap and from rock'n'roll to electronic music and rave. Furthermore, we will examine the political and social contexts in which these artists formed and the way in which their environment reacted to them between defense and appropriation. The technical and media conditions play a major role here, as they not only significantly influenced the possibilities of artistic (self-)representation, but also the reception of these musicians. The growing tension between music, the music industry and (music) marketing should also be examined in this context.
- Literature
As accompanying literature we recommend Gerhard Paul / Ralph Schock (eds.): Sound of the Century. Noises, tones, voices - 1889 to today. Bonn 2013 (reprint 2017). Further literature will be announced in the course of the seminar. As we will be working with many English texts, knowledge of the English language is a prerequisite.
