About this Unit
In 2009 this unit replaced by 101534 - Music: Modernism, Postmodernism and Beyond. This unit develops upon and extends studies undertaken in Contemporary Arts 1 by further building a critical theoretical foundation which informs the studio/practical studies, as well as preparing students for more advanced theoretical and critical studies in their chosen field of the contemporary arts. It is non-linear in approach, examining a number of cross-disciplinary topics and transdisciplinary themes which map something of the present topography of cultural practice. It provides students with a framework for integrating the practical techniques and knowledges of their chosen field, gained elsewhere in their studies, into a broadly informed view of current issues informing contemporary arts practice.
