A willingness to participate in group singing and meditation/contemplation is essential. Contact instructor about singing requirement. Four credit hours. A. NUSS

In her influential critical work Imperial Eyes, Mary Louise Pratt introduces the concept of "contact zone"--a site of interchange and tension among language, history, tradition, and authority that characterizes colonial and postcolonial cultures. Pratt's concept is a framework for examination of the dynamic play of musical and literary traditions in a perfect example of the contact zone: the Gandhi Ashram in Kalimpong, India. Focus is on ethical, cultural, and political implications of the school's educational approach in ways that consider an Indian way of reframing literary and musical issues of appropriation and ownership. Cost in 2007-08: $2,800. Financial assistance may be available; contact instructors. Three credit hours. A, I. ALBERT, RABATA, ROY
