  • PA 223: Topics in Ethnomusicology

    1.00 Credits
    Colorado College

    Special topics in ethnomusicology, approached through emphasis on a particular musical area, theoretical issue, genre or repertory, compositional technique, or instrument. The course is devoted to non-western musical cultures. Block 7: Topics in Ethnomusicology: From Bombay to Bollywood - Music and the Popular Indian Film. Since the 1930s, the presence of the film song sequence has been a hallmark of Indian popular cinema, to the extent that film song sequences and songs often play an important role in helping promote the films they appear in. This course examines how film music has helped define Bombay cinema as the global industry now known as "Bollywood", as well as how film song sequences work within and outside films' narratives to create a unique aesthetic. Although international audiences have enjoyed Bombay films and film music since the 1950s, the term "Bollywood" did not emerge until the late 1980s. Since then, it has often accompanied descriptions of Bombay films' transformation from a regional industry into a multimedia global brand- experienced through cinema; the Internet; satellite television; music and video recordings; radio; and ring tones, almost all of which feature music at their core. This viewing-intensive course surveys older as well as recent popular Bombay films and explores their film songs' stylistic conventions, context within films, and their life outside the cinema hall. In doing so, students trace the shift from Bombay to "Bollywood" as well as gain a fundamental understanding of South Asian popular culture. (Meets the Critical Perspectives: Diverse Cultures and Critiques requirement.) (Also listed as Anthropology 222 and Music 233.) 1 unit - Bhattacharjya.
