An anthropological investigation of the relationships between culture and music. It will focus on the core anthropological concepts of cultural relativism, ethnocentrism, and globalization in relation to the cultural contexts of music. It will explore how music relates anthropologically to various aspects of culture, including identity, gender, family, religion, politics, subsistence, economics, and language. Ethnographic examples will be drawn from western and non-western music. MnTC Goal 8. |
