ANTHRO 106

Global Sound Cultures: Musics, Places and People

Please note: this is archived course information from 2023 for ANTHRO 106.

Description

Examines a wide range of sound and music cultures, from popular transnational mediations to locally  produced, community-based traditions. Considers the ways that music takes on meaning, represents identities and places, and interacts with the world. Traces the historical/economic processes by which music cultures emerge and are sustained (or not). Explores the emotional and economic roles that music plays in lives of musicians, composers
and listeners. Using theories from ethnomusicology, anthropology, musicology and cultural studies we show how
music is affected by and reflects social change, colonisation and indigeneity, technology and local/global economic
processes.
