MUSI 100. Ethnomusicology Seminar

(Cross-listed as SOAN 100)
Ethnomusicology is an academic discipline that examines music in and as culture. This course examines how the interdisciplinary field has developed over the 20^th and 21^st centuries through an investigation of its origins, approaches, methodologies, and contemporary theoretical questions. Course readings will address the relationships between music and a variety of conceptual themes including race, ethnicity, identity, nationalism, Diaspora, globalization, and gender. The music cultures we will examine in this course represent a wide range of cultures, geographic regions, musical genres, and historical periods. Students will complete introductory exercises in research, transcription, analysis, ethnographic fieldwork, & performance.
