@article{2018,title={VIOLENCE IN MUSIC- MUSIC IN VIOLENCE},abstractNode={The effects of music on people have been known from ancient times. Music became a tool evoking the emotions of people and being coherent with the kind of activity held in religious rites, sacrificial days in ancient times and then at wars (with the purpose of applying psychological pressure on opposite side), in festivals and holidays. Music has a significant function in galvanizing the limbic system to which such feelings as love, anger, fear, enthusiasm etc. are directed in human brain. In this case, the answer will be sought for the question “what is music?” and then the notion “violence” will be addressed, the matter how the concepts of music and violence came together will be tried to be explained with visual-sensual materials by considering melodic and verbal elements. When it is considered that the music is composed of a concept, behavior and sound, it becomes clear that the object of analysis already exists in musical concept, musical conceptualization and musical sound and timbre. Violence is not only the “loss of control” or state of “insanity”, but also an action and preference made consciously and systematically in a controlled and planned way. Violence has different types. These are the physical violence, emotional violence, psychological violence, verbal violence, sexual violence, violence at work, economic violence etc. In this sense, when it is considered that the music leads to not only such positive behaviors as love, enthusiasm and mercy, but also those negative behaviors like anger, fear and anxiety etc., the association of music and violence constitutes the focal point of this study.},author={Mustafa Oner UZUN-- Hülya UZUN},year={2018},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
