Description
SS.490 Sociology of Music/Sound/Noise
This course examines how we understand everyday life through our experience of music, sound, and noise. Because the field of the sociology of music is as broad as the world of sound, we will focus on the production and meaning of just a few of the many styles of music around the world. We will use these musical studies to then delve into the use and construction of soundscapes and auditory environments. Finally, the course will study the social and environmental effects of noise, as well as the use of noise in music since John Cage and Karlheinz Stockhuasen. The course will require a good deal of listening to perhaps unfamiliar music and musical genres which will be accompanied by readings that together will provide students with a foundation in the sociological study of – and active critical listening to – music, sound, and noise. Students will also provide examples of music/sound/noise that we will listen to in each class.

***You do not need to be able to read music or play an instrument for this course.***
