Beskjeder

Because of trial lectures in Salen on October 13, Justin London's lecture has been moved to Seminar room 1 (ground floor).

Your presentation should be max 5 minutes and cover the following:

- background for your choice of topic (very brief)

- research question/statement of problem

- methodology (how will you go about to answer the research questions?)

- theoretical perspectives (theory or concepts that will be important for your approach)

- core literature to be used in the essay. 

You can do the presentation in English or Norwegian. The presentation can (but does not need to) be accompanied by slides or other visual material. After the presentation there will be a short Q & A session (questions, answers and comments) of approx. 5-10 minutes.

An invitation to a Google spreadsheet with a list of 20 minutes sessions of supervision has been sent to your student.xxx.uio.no email address. If you want supervision on your essay topic and/or the presentation, please use the link in the invitation and put your name after one of the time slots.

You can preview the sheet at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Daa5P7y6Pfl1nyG9ws82Xe1Xalj7VMOSspBkiXJkTyk/edit?usp=sharing

If none of the times work for you, please contact me at anne.danielsen@imv.uio.no and we can try to find time for a special appointment. Please note that the presentation on Thursday the 20th of October is mandatory for all students and also that you have to be present all three hours, that is, from 0915 to 1200.

A document from Justin with preparation for the seminars on Oct 12 and 13 has been emailed to your fronter e-mail address (student.xxx.uio.no). The document is also uploaded in the course documentation folder in Fronter.

The deadline for submitting the title of your essay and your final reading list is October 21. Supervision will be offered during week 42. Please use the folder "Essay titles" in Fronter for your submission.

The materials include his slides and demonstrations, as well as three follow up items from the Q&A in the class about the importance of tactile feedback in rhythm studies. The first study has participants “tapping” without making any surface contact, which Justin talked about in class (Aschersleben et al. 2001). The two other studies are from from Laurel Trainor’s lab, about the importance of vestibular stimulation to rhythm perception (Trainor et al. 2009; Phillips-Silver and Trainor 2008). PDFs of all three articles have been added in Fronter.

Information regarding Mari Romarheim Haugen's doctoral trials on Thursday 29 September can be found here:  http://www.hf.uio.no/imv/forskning/aktuelt/arrangementer/disputaser/2016/haugen.html.   The topic is rhythm in Brazilian samba and Norwegian telespringar. 

Please also note that there will be a research workshop on rhythm organised by the TIME project on Friday 23. September. For detailed program, see http://www.hf.uio.no/imv/english/research/projects/timing-and-sound-in-musical-micro-rhythm-time/events/seminars/rytmeworkshop.html.

Both events are open to students.

This is a course for all students who wish to deepen their understanding of musical rhythm across genres and improve their analytical skills in this area. Topics will include rhythm theory, culture and aesthetics in different rhythmic genres, analytical approaches, and rhythm perception and cognition. The course will offer students a combination of scholarly approaches that draw from the traditions of musicology, ethnomusicology and music psychology.

Lectures and seminars will take place on Wednesdays (11.15–14.00) and Thursdays (09.15–12.00) in weeks 35, 38, 39, 41 and 42.

Lecturers: Anne Danielsen (UiO), Justin London (Carleton/visiting professor UiO), and guests.
