Class History, Aesthetique and Sound Studies

This UC intends to recognise, especially in modernity and the contemporary world, the historical relationship between sound media and technique and their evolution in society. Students learn from the archeology of sound the works developed and the deviations that occurred in the use and function of the devices. They are, therefore, able to promote the hybridity of genres and sound arts based on the exhaustive characterization of technical objects and their reception. By knowing history and aesthetics, especially in sound objects, we are able to recognize what is new and what can be changed in what history has constituted. Emphasis will be given to the musical movements, after the I World War, having as background the introduction of means of communication and the problems raised to the sonic art and its diffusion.
