Annotation
The significance that ethnomusicology gives to the context from which music draws meaning requires due attention to global and local forces that affect the environment in which musical lives are lived. This course responds to that requirement by examining some of the most salient contemporary phenomena that shape those environments (e.g., migration, globalization, technology).
At the same time, the course will be attentive to theoretical approaches that shed light on the integration of music and such contemporary contexts. Case studies will provide illustrations as well as springboards for further discussion.
