Objectives
Objectives
This UC, integrated in what is now known as Sound Studies, aims to constitute an archeology, a history and a modernity for the human expressions and devices that have used, since the nineteenth century, sound as a means of communication, independently of the content. With this program, students will learn about what was done in the twentieth century in the relation of sound to music and instruments, making it possible to acquire abilities and skills to think about the objects and sound devices of today. This passage is made from different paths, not only sonorous but also technical. In fact, technology as a prevailing subject in twentieth-century philosophy, will allow the student to understand the relationship of the human with what is called technology and its importance to his behavior.

Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
1. This UC has a continuous assessment, forcing students to be present in the classroom (75% of all classes taught).
2. The evaluation consists of individual or group work around the main issues of the Culture of Sound and a frequency in which the pedagogical elements developed in the classroom are evaluated. Final Grade = Test Writing of frequency (40% of the final classification) + Works (60%).
3. Failure to submit the papers means that the student has opted for examination in detriment of continuous evaluation.
