Music of the Diaspora
Department(s)
Description
This course explores how music travels across the world through diaspora communities, and how culture evolves as it follows people who have left their original homelands. Diaspora in this course includes people dispersed voluntarily or by forces outside of their control, permanently or temporarily, and over one or more generations. Drawing on materials including readings, documentary films, audio recordings, and performance videos, the course seeks to address questions such as: How does music make people feel at home in new locations? What impact does diaspora have on attitudes about authenticity in culture? How is musical style affected by new social and political contexts?
