Annotation
Musicology has many points of contact with other disciplines and can benefit from a wide variety of methods to address its questions. It is a challenge for young musicologists to gain insight into other fields, but this can provide helpful impulses for their own work.
In this course, therefore, students of musicology (and related fields, like theatre and films studies) are introduced to methods and current topics in other fields of the humanities that are related to musicological research.
