DJ & Club Cultures - Detailseite

Die ersten Schallplatten wurden Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts öffentlich aufgelegt von Radio-Enthusiasten und Klangverantwortlichen im Kino (Thompson 2009). Seitdem hat sich der DJ-Beruf von einer Art Servicekraft mit außerordentlicher Motivation zur lokalen Underground-Autorität und manchmal sogar zum globalen EDM-Megastar entwickelt. 2020 haben die Corona-Bedingungen gezeigt, wie gesellschaftlich relevant DJ & Club Cultures sind und wie prekär sie trotzdem meist operieren.

In der Vorlesung arbeiten wir uns von der Ur- und Frühgeschichte des DJings über Szenen wie Disco, House und Hip Hop in den USA zu Schlüsselmomenten in DJ & Club Cultures wie der Ankunft von jamaikanischen Sound Systems in Großbritannien, Acid House, dem Summer of Love und seinen Folgen sowie den diversen Berliner Inkarnationen von House & Techno. Wir befassen uns darüber hinaus mit Retro-Phänomenen beim DJing wie z.B. Acid Jazz, mit Digging, Technologiewandel sowie Genderfragen, Diversität und Awareness im Kontext von DJ & Club Cultures.
