ABSTRACT

As music remains one of the most popular activities of everyday life, this paper builds on critical and popular geopolitics to introduce music as a key endeavour in teaching such topics. The paper attempts to go beyond scrutiny of the popular music by connecting it with the historical strings of geopolitical evolution and their current re-representation. It communicates how music may assist students in understanding geopolitics. Surprised at first by music’s relation with geopolitics, students can delve into more complex questions that allow them to scrutinize the forces, institutions and theoretical frameworks that shape geopolitics. Mediated by music, teaching may provide a way to deconstruct geopolitical imaginations and empower students to reflect beyond the texts, and popular contexts.

摘要

由于音乐仍然是日常生活中最受欢迎的活动之一，本文以批判性和流行的地缘政治为基础，介绍音乐作为教授此类主题的关键努力。该论文试图超越对流行音乐的审查，将其与地缘政治演变的历史弦乐及其当前的再现联系起来。它传达了音乐如何帮助学生理解地缘政治。起初对音乐与地缘政治的关系感到惊讶，学生们可以深入研究更复杂的问题，从而使他们能够审视塑造地缘政治的力量、制度和理论框架。以音乐为媒介，教学可以提供一种解构地缘政治想象力的方法，并使学生能够超越文本和流行语境进行反思。
