Abstract

Course Description: Effective music criticism – criticism that places a song or album within the appropriate social, political, personal, and aesthetic contexts – can be as enthralling and moving as the music it engages. In this advanced writing course, we will explore different ways of writing about music, from the record review to the personal essay. We’ll consider the evolving tradition of pop music criticism (How are MP3 blogs and websites challenging print media? How is the critic’s role changing?) and the mysterious practice of translating sound into ideas (How do we train ourselves to be better and more thoughtful listeners?). Through reading, writing, and class discussion, we’ll contemplate the mysterious circuitry that causes people to embrace (or require) music – from Bob Dylan to Lil’ Wayne – and how best to explore that connection on the page.

写流行音乐
课程描述:有效的音乐批评-将歌曲或专辑置于适当的社会,政治,个人和美学背景下的批评-可以像音乐一样迷人和动人。在这门高级写作课程中,我们将探索不同的音乐写作方式,从唱片评论到个人论文。我们将考虑流行音乐评论的发展传统(MP3博客和网站如何挑战印刷媒体?评论家的角色是如何变化的?)以及将声音转化为思想的神秘实践(我们如何训练自己成为更好、更有思想的听众?)通过阅读、写作和课堂讨论,我们将思考导致人们拥抱(或需要)音乐的神秘回路——从鲍勃·迪伦到里尔·韦恩——以及如何最好地在纸上探索这种联系。
