Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

How toxic is the concept of ‘genius’ within the cultural industry?

Goals:
Ability to conduct differentiated and self-aware analysis of culturally constructed discriminations within the cultural industry as well as ability to connect the results thereof beyond the class with current and historical theoretical positions, extending to perspectives of social and cultural studies at large.
Engagement with realities of the cultural industry, increased awareness of structures and options of action, critical reflection of positionality.
In-depth application of academic techniques relevant to Ma graduation (developing a hypothesis, organizing sources, working with contexts).

Contents:
“Andris Nelsons, the music director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, was asked the other day if sexual harassment is — or has ever been — an issue in the classical music world, and his answer was unambiguous. “No,” Nelsons told Boston Public Radio hosts Jim Braude and Margery Eagan.”
(Mark Shanahan, The Boston Globe, 20.11.2017)
„Aida. Garifullina. So heißt doch keine. Höchstens ein Dessert. (...) Doch so heißt wirklich eine Opernsängerin. Superschlank, superschön, superstimmig. Ein Vokalmodel, feuchter Traum jedes Plattenproduzenten. Die zarteste Sopranistin seit es Stimmschmelz gibt. Vergesst Netrebko, die inzwischen unrettbar auf die Babuschkaseite gewechselt ist! Anna war gestern, heute ist Aida. Vor ihr nimmt jede Magenverkleinerungsschnur sofort Reißaus. Schwarzhaarig, Kirschmund, dunkle, leicht mandelförmige Augen, puppenhaft zarte Figur.“

(RONDO Klassikmagazin, 1/2017)

*****
This class confronts structural and narrative patterns of the cultural industry (focus on theater, music theatre, classical music) that may contribute to systematic intersectional discrimination and unequal distribution of agency with the aim of contextualizing insights won within a larger field of questions regarding cultural history and cultural politics as well as current approaches to the concept of ‘agency’.

Methods:
• seading(s)
• debate (both plenum and small group)
• small group tasks (including peer feedback)
• analysis of historical and contemporary case studies
• excursions and engagements with field experts
• in agreement with the class: possible a (public) final presentation

Assessment and permitted materials

Exams:
There are 2 separate exam sections to pass:
1) final paper (12-15 Seiten) or equivalent written and oral presentation (40%)
2) participation and performance in class assignments (both in class and take-home), such as short presentations, emceeing, brief papers or performance journals (many of these will be within smaller workgroup settings) as well as attendance and participation in debate and analysis and participation in peer feedback (60%).

In agreement with the class, these exam sections are subject to change (e.g. if the group turns out to be very small/very big or depending on the knowledge/experience level of the group).
If you have a condition that adversely affects these exams (dyslexia, phobias), please contact the teacher to discuss the possibility of an alternative exam.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Minimal Requirements:
Both exam sections need to be obtain a positive mark (=a minimum of a 4) to pass the class.

• file a sufficient written effort (final paper)
• engage sufficiently in class assignment with a respectful attitude towards the efforts of your peers
