Expressions of Indigeneity in Music and Sound
MUSC 252Z
Summer 2024
| Section:
01

What would an opera about Thanksgiving composed by a Native American artist sound like? To explore the politics of representation in Indigenous sound and music, this course draws students into a global dialogue about Indigeneity. Topics include the interplay of tradition and modernity, the impact of colonization, music production and consumption, and the politics of knowledge production through various media. In addition to reading and listening assignments, the students will engage in a local ethnographic project--creating an Indigenous sound map in the locale of their choice. For the final project, informed by readings and listening in class, students can choose their formats, either a research project, a creative project, or a combination of both. |
