Last update: Mgr. Vít Zdrálek, Ph.D. (07.02.2020)

The course is an introduction to the sound and visual worlds of South African musical cultures via playing and screening short and long audio and audiovisual material (historical and contemporary recordings; ethnographic recordings; photographs; music documentaries; films etc.). The course is a supplement to the course "South African Music Cultures" (taught in Czech only) and is meant to broaden and develop students' immediate experience of mostly unfamiliar musical cultures.

Given the nature of the material played and screened (in English and/or African languages), the course is open to non-Czech speakers too. Every piece of music is going to be briefly introduced and a short discussion will follow afterwards.

Last update: Mgr. Vít Zdrálek, Ph.D. (07.02.2020)

Kurz prakticky uvádí do zvukového a vizuálního světa jihoafrických hudebních kultur, a to prostřednictvím komentovaných přehrávek a projekcí kratších i rozsáhlejších zvukových a audiovizuálních záznamů a děl (historické i současné komerční i nekomerční nahrávky, etnografické záznamy, fotografie, hudební dokumenty a filmy). Toto cvičení je doplněním přednášky/semináře „Jihoafrické hudební kultury“ a rozšiřuje zkušenost studentů a studentek o přímý a soustavně budovaný auditivní a vizuální zážitek se zpravidla nefamiliárními hudebními kulturami.
