Music and Identity

Rad proučava odnos glazbe i osobnog identiteta pojedinca. Konceptu glazbe, kao i identitetu, u radu se pristupa općenito, ali i iz kulturološke perspektive, te se tumače pojmovi poput zvuka, akustične komunikacije, soundscape-a, emocije, muzikoterapije i identifikacije. Navedeni pojmovi potrebni su za mogućnost propitivanja uloge glazbe u oblikovanju identiteta te procesa koji čovjeka čini emocionalno povezanim s medijem glazbe. Rad nastoji prikazati važnost glazbe ne samo u čovjekovom svakodnevnom životu već i u utjecaju na osjećaj sebstva i istovremeno povezivanje s kolektivom.This work examines the connection between music and personal identity.
