Course Description

In this course, students explore some of the exciting and experimental developments in film music practices emerging in the second half of the 20th century. During this time cultural changes and expectations were reflected in greater experimentalism and innovation across society and art forms. This includes film music and sound, following the so-called Golden Age of classical Hollywood film scores in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s. Students will begin with a brief review of Golden Age film music and the established continuity system of musical editing. Students then examine case studies of film scores from several different countries, including USA, Britain, France, and the former Soviet Union. Students consider fragmented, composite, formalist, and popular music solutions. Finally students consider the growing influence of sound design and the blurred boundaries between music and sound in some contemporary cinema.

Course Description
Modern sociology developed in the 19th century along with the rise of industrial capitalist society. It had a number of key concerns that reflected changes in, and the structure of, society at the time. These continue to preoccupy sociologists who look at them in changed and redefined times. This course looks at such themes and the sociological perspectives on them, as they have developed in both classical and contemporary forms of the discipline.

Course Description

This module evaluates global political questions emanating from the Coronavirus pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and the response to climate change. These crises paradigmatically shift the political agenda; alter the reception to dominant political ideologies; modify the behavior of political actors; challenge political governance; and oppose the credibility of abstract theoretical concepts. Additionally, the response to crisis events provides the greatest challenge to the resilience of the global political system. Students explore these questions from the perspective of Political Science and Political Theory, understand the implications of the Politics of Crisis, and attempt to articulate viable responses to these problems.
