Learning outcomes

At the end of the course the student: - knows in general the historical evolution of music broadcasting techniques in the media, the production and distribution logic of the different media (radio, generalist television, thematic television, digital platforms); - also knows the structure as well as aspects related to production and reception of some television programmes of relevant historical interest.

Course contents

The course examines the use of music in audiovisual media from a historical perspective. It will explore the historical and cultural contexts, ideological implications, and the production and consumption practices that characterize music in both traditional and new media.

The lessons will provide a map of the spaces dedicated to music in traditional media, particularly television, as well as in digital media. Basic analytical tools will be introduced, and specific case studies will also be addressed.
