Inhoud
This course investigates one or several case studies of institutions that played or play a significant role in cultural patronage such as courts, private associations, or corporate entities. It is interdisciplinary in the sense that it takes into account the full range of components (material, social, financial, religious, political, historical) that interact in a given cultural institution that has given or is giving rise to a significant musical repertoire. We also pay attention to the element of individual agency within an institutional framework, and apply recent research paradigms to seemingly established or seemingly innovative institutions that are or have been vital in sponsoring culture in both past and present. Potential subject matter extends from the inner workings of medieval courts to today's corporate and crowd-funded cultural projects, with an emphasis on the role of music in all this. 

Career orientation:
Training in written and oral presentation of research.

This course is for students in the RMA Musicology. The entrance requirements for Exchange Students will be checked by International Office and the Programme coordinator. You do not have to contact the Programme coordinator by yourself.
