| LIBS 620 - MUSIC AND INDENTITY |
|
In her new book MUSIC IN EVERYDAY LIFE, the British sociologist of music, Tia DeNora, notes that "music serves as a kind of template against which feeling, perception, representation, and social situation are created and sustained," later calling it "a building material of self-identity" and "the cultural material par excellence of emotion and the personal." This seminar examines some of the many ways in which music acts within individual, social and cultural life as a powerful part of the search for identity and meaning. In the process we explore a wide range of music and many different forms of inquiry, drawing particularly upon the backgrounds and experiences of the members of the class.
