MUSHL 353 Introduction to Ethnomusicology 2 (W) 3.0 3.0 This course approaches the study of diaspora from an ethnomusicological perspective. We will study how travel, migration, new media, and technological advances in the late twentieth century have increased the spread of sound and images across the Atlantic and Pacific in diverse and complicated ways. This course focuses on how musicians, fans, producers, and the recording industry in Africa, Asia, and the Americas use popular music (e.g., blues, rap, jazz, salsa, soul, mbalax, and, bhangara) to create real and imagined communities. Readings include the required text: The African Diaspora: a Musical Perspective, by Ingrid Monson (2000, Garland Publising). This book can also be purchased for $30 as an ebook on http://ebooks.ebookmall.com/title/african-diaspora-a-musical-perspective-monson-ebooks.htm. Supplemental readings and multimedia resources will be found on Blackboard and in the library reserves. Coursework involves presentations, a concert report, and a final paper. Attendance is monitored. Three unexcused absences lowers your final grade by one-third (A to A-); five-six absences lowers your grade two-thirds (A to B+); and more than seven absences will lead to a full letter grade deduction (A to B).
