This graduate seminar presents a recent literature on media circulation and the global exchange of culture. This course will begin with a review of foundational theories of globalization and mediation and work towards a transdisciplinary perspective through recent case studies, reading across emerging discussions in anthropology, media studies, ethnomusicology, cultural geography, and science and technology studies. We will look at changing practices of ethnographic fieldwork and revaluate the musical scholarship of consumption, reception, genre discourse, and the distribution of music in the public sphere.
