MLS 526:  Sound and Image
This seminar will consider the aesthetic interaction between ear and eye, especially in the mass-mediated forms of music, sound effect, dialogue, photograph, painting, and cinema.  We will read both theoretical and literary reflections on the subject, see some movies, and listen to recorded music.  Briefly considering the physics and physiology of hearing and vision, we will consider how the artistic imagination, delivered in audio and visual media, interacts with audience experience both as individuals and as a social group.

Professor Janet McCracken (Philosophy)
Professor Don Meyer (Music)
