Back and forth in an eternal stuggle
But at this point yeeeeeeeah they need to come back in terms of alot of humanities
Music i think is the only one that has really stayed the path of tradition
In terms of academics. Even the newer sort of music classes are about well established traditional standards (at least in modern day with rock and pop classes and degrees becoming a thing)
Its great because the musical equivalent of postmodernism is actually extremely well defined in terms of rules that have been established and codified in tradition
Unlike its visual art counterpart
I mean, you'll read classic literature in the English department, but the ultimate goal is always to reach deconstruction and the research is entirely driven by SocJus-type trends.
Actually, that's not quite accurate.
Well not that postmodernism doesnt have a sort of structure
Most of the classic books have been replaced. But there's enough they'll claim they respect the classic canon.
Its just more a negative sort of structure. In the sense of whats left
Have you guys seen the postmodern generator
Yeah i have a bud doing an english literature/education double major at the uni iblive by
Yes
it generates papers it's hilarious
XD yeah its pretty funny
A student once got a paper peer reviewed, called "The conceptual penis"
it directly cited the post modern generator
And hes told me the horror stories of his SocJus class and the approach of most of his teachers
XD yeah ive seen that lol
Phallogocentrism strikes again!!!
She hated it, thank goodness
XD praise kuthuluuuu
Yeah, I *really* want to clean up the unis. The humanities have no purpose if they are only going to serve as a recruiting grounds for activists.
If there's no chance of getting a profitable job from a degree, or teaching something meaningful (because music is actually important, imo), then the degree should be scrapped
Yeah or to propagate fucking propaganda and misinformation
XD yeah good u threw that in for music or else thered be no need for music degrees lol
Good luck trying to find a music job out of a UNI lol its fucking hard
Well, that and my mother did music education for her first degree
She's told every one of her students to pursue a second degree alongside music
Better spend that time trying to find one than spend it doing a degree if you dont intend on working in a school of sorts
Wise lady
Unfortunately, her students haven't been so wise, historically.
Most haven't taken her advice
I mean. No offence to your mom but pursuing a degree in music isnt a sign of the sharpest cookie... This is coming from a musician too
Who plays professionally
If thats your only goal. In terms of getting the degree
Well, it's why she went back to school and got a Master's in Business
You gotta have the real long game in mind.
Yeah thats great XD defs the more lucrative part of the music industry
