ANTH 156 - Wom Mus Crs-Cult Perspec

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

In this course we will explore women's roles as performers, composers, teachers, and consumers of music from a global perspective. Through historical, ethnographic, and sociological study we will consider how various cultures construct ideas about womanhood through musical practice and reception. Topics covered will include women as composers and performers in Western classical music: women in jazz, blues, rap, punk, salsa, and other popular forms; women-centered traditions from Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East; and women performers in Latin America, Africa, and India. Issues we will discuss include ideas about sexuality, misogyny, the intersection of race and gender, and the separation of musical roles by gender. While there are no prerequisites, previous courses in music, anthropology, or women's studies will be helpful. 1.00 units, Lecture
