101528 - Modes and Codes in Music Production
About this Unit
In 2009 this unit replaced by 101528 - Modes and Codes in Music Production. Arts practices cannot be considered aside from their social and political context. This unit is designed to draw attention to socio-political structures and associated communities and their relationship to the emergence of artistic expression. Patterns of change in arts works, practices and production will be considered alongside changes in socio-political understandings. Cultural conflict will be considered alongside cultural sustainability and the reflective theoretical and artistic constructions through which society comes to know and represent its' knowing. Definitions of 'community' and 'politics' will be negotiated as will relationships between arts practices. Artistic constructions of community - across art forms - will also be central.
