Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Students are familiarized with basic methods of empirical data collection in ethnomusicology. The semester focus is on field research, which is about experiencing, observing, questioning, participating and documenting music and dance "in the field". The field, here, is understood as any space in which individuals interact musically and in dance and can be situated in rural, urban, local or digital settings. The contact to the “musicking” individuals is in the center of ethnomusicological work in the field and ethical reflections and principles of responsible dialogical cooperation are important parameters. In the course, different forms and steps of field research will be elaborated in the context of joint reading and text discussions and some techniques for the evaluation of qualitative data in ethnomusicology will be discussed. A practical team experience in field research provides the possibility to apply the acquired methods.
