Cíle předmětu
Focused on Taiwan and its popular music in history, this course will trace various kinds of ethnic Taiwanese popular music forms and performing locations in urban environment. Big cities, such as Taipei and Shanghai, will be the main target for students to understand the ‘small’ cultural history, what actually was happening in the local places. Besides, Taiwanese popular music was also heavily influenced by music in Tokyo due to Taiwan’s colonial history in the early 19 Century. Following by in-depth study to Taiwan’s history, digital mapping tool QGIS (Quantum Geographic Information Systems) introduction and many kinds of vocal texts to be explored as examples, this course is dedicated to selected topics related to the interaction of people, music, and space in Taipei and Shanghai.
