Prerequisites/Notes: MUCO 212 or MUCO 202 Catalog Description : A study of a particular time and place, examining the relationship between social institutions, intellectual ideas, and music products. Topics in this series vary from year to year. May be repeated with consent of instructor. Topic for Fall 2020: Transnational Popular Musics of Latin America In this course we will explore scholarship on the transnational circulation of Latin American popular musics such as cumbia, salsa, norteño, and reggaeton. Focusing on commercial sound recordings, we will consider the many ways that mass mediation and migration have shaped and transformed the styles, meanings, functions and authenticities of these and other transnational Latin American genres. Topic for Spring 2021: Music and Power Under the Sun King This course explores the relationship between music (ballet, opera, court dance, instrumental music, and sacred music) and power during the reign of Louis XIV. Primary and secondary readings will also treat other intersections of French culture and power in art, architecture, literature and modes of decorum.
