Survivors' Music

July 26, 2008 by AaronFox

This advanced undergraduate/graduate course examines music in the lives of survivors of traumatic experiences, discovering why music is a special expressive resource for such people and also learning things from survivorss' music about the nature of traumatic events that other expressive and documentary resources do not tell us about. Drawing on examples from around the world, we consider these questions from a number of social, cultural, psychological, and musicological perspectives. No prior music background or coursework is required.

THIS IS A SWING COURSE -- UNDERGRADUATES MUST ATTEND THE THURSDAY AS WELL AS TUESDAY SECTIONS. GRADUATE STUDENTS NEED ONLY ATTEND THE TUESDAY SECTIONS.
