Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The use of music in everyday life is a subject area in musicology that can look back on a long tradition in the context of youth research. However, it was not until the turn of the millennium that this topic gained new importance through a number of qualitative and descriptive studies. These studies show that the use of music to influence emotions and affects is not limited to adolescence, but is a general phenomenon that continues into adulthood. However, the empirical-theoretical examination of this topic has been rather poorly developed so far. Within the framework of the seminar, existing approaches and theories on the topic will be presented and critically scrutinized. A special focus will be on the examination of the few existing empirical studies in order to discuss their integration into the existing qualitative studies.
