MUS 17.05 The Poetics and Politics of Sounds and Words
This course explores how music and language shape our social worlds and help us imagine new futures. Students will study how music and language are summoned in the service of power but are also used by people to craft and express their own personal and political identities and experiences. The course is designed to give students an introduction to anthropological approaches to language, music, and the dynamic relationship between them in a variety of cultural contexts.
