| Objective | The aim of the course is to study on popular culture through music, which is not only an essential cultural expression but also a primary subject in the context of the debates on culture. |
| Content |
The course takes popular culture, which we define as the culture composed of masses of people in a society and represents their forms of expression, as object of study. For these groups, the culture means an occasion of incorporating and affirming their experiences. In addition, its significance is provided from being a form of challenge and appropriation of dominant culture. It is simultaneously composed of its dependence and reaction to the dominant culture of past and future. The course will begin with the theories about popular culture and music. After this introduction, the course will be continued by analyzing the various musical traditions in 20th century throughout the world. Secondly, the course will examine also the various currents of popular culture in Turkey. |
