Music Technology: A Synaesthesia for Music Education in Contemporary Societies

2023-12-11T08:57:46+00:00

Music technology is becoming an integral part of music education in the 21 st century. It is
revolutionizing the way music education is taught in contemporary society. Music technology
is changing the way music students learn and do music, as such opening up new possibilities
for creativity and expression of music. Thus, technology has made music education so global
that students can learn from digital audio workstations (daw) to online communities for
sharing music, and music ideas and patterns of applications. Technology is reshaping the
field of music education. This research explores the impact of music technology on music
education, and how it can enhance and enriches the learning processes; including the ways it
promotes creativity, collaboration, and engagements. It also examines the challenges
associated with integrating music technology in the classroom, and the opportunities it posits
for the future of music education. The findings of the study suggest that music technology
can be a powerful and strategic tool for promoting creativity, collaboration, and engagements
in music education, and can also assist in creating a more immersive and holistic teaching and
learning experience.

Isocrates and the Culture of Discourse

2024-03-27T09:01:15+00:00

In this article, I aim at presenting and commenting on a series of interesting ideas discovered in Isocrates’ ancient discourses, precisely those ideas referring to the importance of language for man in general, seen as a social being. In this regard, one should notice the specific meaning he gave to the Old Greek term philosophia, understood as ‘the culture of discourse’. In other words, I will try to prove that Isocrates’ rhetorical work deserves more appreciation from the specialists or researchers who deal with linguistic ideas and problems of philosophy of language.

Regarding Tobias Peucer’s Dissertation on Journalism. A Philosophical Perspective

2024-03-27T09:00:24+00:00

In 1690, in Leipzig, Tobias Peucer defended the first doctoral thesis (in the world) devoted to journalism, namely De relationibus novellis (“On news reporting”). In this article, I aim at proving the validity and durable value of Peucer’s dissertation, by analysing its content and structure, while also taking into account the philosophical aspects of this very important text, which establishes the theoretical foundation of journalism itself. In this regard, I will refer to some essential distinctions made by Aristotle, Kant and Coseriu, in order to demonstrate Peucer’s solid philosophical background and his right scientific intuitions.

On Journalistic Texts as Sources of Scientific Inquiries

2024-03-27T09:03:38+00:00

Journalism, whose mission is to inform and to persuade the public, ought to be serious and clear. The journalist, if he wants his texts to be convincing, has to be honest and also with a personal history based on honest deeds. Nevertheless, in the past, some important names from the international press industry held that the invented piece of news is better (i.e., more profitable) than the true piece of news. For this reason, some voices stated that historians cannot use journalistic texts as sources of information for their scientific inquiries. In this article, we will try to estimate to what extent a journalist is to be of real help to a historian. In order to conduct our research, we read many journalistic texts which were published in newspapers and magazines such as “Universul”, “Viitorul”, “Rampa”, “Revista Fundațiilor Regale”, “Telegraful român” (from Sibiu), “Dimineața” etc. Most of the sources we used are referring to the period between the two World Wars from the past century.
