The concept of the “Global Village” by Marshal McLuen in the context of the ideas of the “World Music” of Stockhausen
Abstract
The article is devoted to a comparative analysis of Marshal McLuhan’s concept of a global village with its reflection in the musical-theoretical ideas of Stockhausen, articulated by him in texts about world music. “Weltmusik” became one of the most influential musical concepts of the European avant-garde from the late 1960s to the early 1980s. These ideas, creatively presented in compositions like “Telemusik”, “Hymnen” got their own musical perspective. The problem of world music seems to be relevant, as such composers as Karlheinz Stockhausen, Pierre Boulez, Luigi Nono, Henri Pusser, Mauricio Kagel and Dieter Schnebel — often said that they are the ones who constitute the hegemony of new world music. The author concludes that many provisions of McLuhan’s concept, as well as Stockhausen’s ideas, which had not only a creative perspective of development, but also a theoretical one, are by no means indisputable, and often such models represent a picture of the interaction of communication technologies and social structures, and this happens in an overly simplified way and unilaterally.
