| The participants of this short-term lifelong learning programme are eligible to attend two ethnomusicology courses as follows: Little Summer School on Romani Music (doc. Zuzana Jurková and guests) / Summer School: Music and Youth Cultures: Ethnography of Electronic Dance Music Scenes (David Verbuč, PhD and Luis-Manuel Garcia, PhD.). Applicants can apply for one, or both summer school courses. It is designed as a combination of lectures (mornings), workshops (afternoons) and concerts (evenings). Little Summer School on Romani Music Lecturers: doc. Zuzana Jurková and guests. One-week course organized in the framework of the Khamoro Romani Festival (May 31 – June 6, 2020), at the Faculty of Humanities, Charles University, Prague, and intended for international university students. In the morning lectures, students will become acquainted with the main areas in which Roma participated in the creation of distinctive music styles with a primary focus on the music of the Roma in Central Europe. Celebrating the 10th anniversary of our summer school, we will discuss some of the most important topics of the previous years: representation of Roma, a transformation of Romani music in the context of music industry, Romani music and memory, etc. The students will study not only with local and international ethnomusicologists specializing in Romani music, but also with organizers of the festival, and the Romani musicians themselves. The students will become acquainted with the main areas in which Roma participated in the creation of distinctive music styles and learn more about the specificity of Romani music – its characteristics, stakeholders, and the influence of the majority culture. Music and Youth Cultures: Ethnography of Electronic Dance Music Scenes Lecturers: David Verbuč, PhD; Luis Manuel Garcia, PhD. (University of Birmingham) The purpose of the summer school Music and Youth cultures, with this year’s thematic focus on ethnography of electronic dance music (EDM) scenes, is to provide students with necessary theoretical and methodological tools for the study of EDM youth cultures, scenes, and communities. The students will attend lectures, and study and explore Prague's EDM venues, scenes, and communities. They will be required to read a fair amount of academic texts, conduct mini ethnographic research of Prague EDM scenes, and submit a final paper. The lectures will focus on theoretical issues and selected case studies dedicated to the following concepts and phenomena: affect theory, ethnography of body, dance, gender, and sexuality in EDM culture, ethnography of EDM audiences and music scenes. Moreover, a substantial part of the class-work will concentrate on methodological questions and practicalities of fieldwork research as related to the ethnographic study of EDM scenes. Furthermore, summer school activities will not only include classwork, but also interviews with local EDM participants, field trips, a small DJ workshop, and participant-observation at local EDM events (the latter will be attended mostly over the weekend of June 19 and June 20, 2020). |
