MUSC 221 - Music and Gender in Latin America and the Caribbean

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

This course focuses on music produced by Latin American women, as well as on the role of gender in relation to musical and social expression throughout the region. Through analysis of various perspectives, this course will look at individual, group and national identity through the lens of individual artists (e.g. Carmen Miranda, Celia Cruz, Mercedes Sosa), performance ensembles (e.g. Filhas de Oxum), and gender inversion in religious and secular contexts. As a result of this process, we will be able to compile a comprehensive portrait that reflects broader aspects of Latin American music and culture. No prior musical knowledge is required, although previous courses in music, anthropology or cultural studies are recommended. Music 113 is strongly recommended. 1.00 units, Lecture
