생태주의 음악과 인문학 강의 운영 방안

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze classes conducted by two professors in the music major and the humanities major during the first semester of 2020, who introduced a new themes of ecological music and humanities. Today, the ecological crisis due to the damage to nature and environmental pollution is getting serious. The ecological crisis is attributed to human-centered values in which humans regard other lives in the ecosystem as merely tools and means. In order to overcome this crisis, it is necessary for us to reflect upon selfish, human-centered thoughts and the reckless development of nature, as well as to seek practical environmental improvement plans and solutions. Fundamentally, humans must restore ecological values that seek harmony and coexistence with other members of the ecosystem. In music and humanities classes, we first looked at the seriousness of the ecological crisis and environmental problems, and took time to reflect on ecological problems, all while listening to environmental music. Furthermore, while listening to nature-friendly music, we shared the ecological-oriented values which state humans should respect and live in harmony with other living organisms in the ecosystem listening to nature-friendly music. In consideration of the COVID-19 pandemic that began earlier this year, we guided the students to take the time to try to heal themselves while experiencing nature with spring-themed music. The two professors encouraged the students to create a five-sense mind map for the experience of feeling nature with music, thereby inducing an emotional recovery and promoting the reinforcement of ecological thinking. The significance of ecological music and humanities classes is that they try to cultivate nature-friendly thinking and sensibility, bring students closer to nature, and provide students the opportunity to touch emotions through music, nature, and reflection on the humanities.
