| The
Music between Us: |
| The
Culture of Musical Creation and Consumption |
| Music can
bind us together, and drive us apart. Music is an element
of our individuality, and can help us disappear into
a group. How do individuals define themselves in the
context of musical communities? What kinds of communities
are there? How can we describe musical communities?
What is the relationship between musical change and
social change in the context of these communities? What
is the role of music in the relationship between the
self and society? This seminar will reason through a
number of descriptions of how humans employ music to
define themselves. |
