MUSC 3450 - Music and Politics

Institution:

Tulane University of Louisiana

Subject:

Music

Description:

Prof. Sakaleeny. Though often considered apart from social and political trends, music is central to thought and action in the public sphere. From patriotism to protest, from sponsorship to censorship, music challenges the belief that public opinion is expressed solely through language. Students are encouraged to listen for the politics of music, whether in Beethoven’s symphonies written after the French Revolution or in the realist depictions of inner-city life in contemporary hip-hop. Readings are drawn from recent research in social theory and the cultural study of music. This course is open to all undergraduate students.
