Students are made aware of the role of cultural institutions in the history of music and the arts, and in music and media research.
Inhoud
This course investigates one or several case studies of institutions that played or play a significant role in cultural patronage such as courts, private associations, or corporate entities. It is interdisciplinary in the sense that it takes into account the full range of components (material, social, financial, religious, political, historical) that interact in a given cultural institution that has given or is giving rise to a significant musical repertoire. We also pay attention to the element of individual agency within an institutional framework, and apply recent research paradigms to seemingly established or seemingly innovative institutions that are or have been vital in sponsoring culture in both past and present. Potential subject matters extends from the inner workings of medieval courts to today's corporate and crowd-funded cultural projects, with an emphasis on the role of music in all this. 

Career orientation:
Training in written and oral presentation of research.
