MUSC 219: Musical Reorientations:

Department
Credits 4
Reorientation is a process of changing directions; figuring out; again; where you are in relationship to your environment. This discussion-based course explores music and sound through such relational thinking; foregrounding the multitude of ways of being-in-the-world. We will explore musical works; histories; composers; performers; and sound-experiences; through concepts drawn from feminism; gender studies; and queer theory. Through critical readings and listening; as well as sharing our own experiences; we seek to question normative narratives around music and sound.
