COURSE DESCRIPTION: Music has always been circulating between cultures, exchanged, reinterpreted in new contexts, creating hybrids, cultural mixtures and new identities. The cross-cultural circulation of music has always included the dimension of hierarchy and differentiation imposed by the structure of cross-cultural encounters: colonialism, slavery, capitalism, the music industry. The globalization of economy and communication have created new facts in the circulation of music, by producing new rubrics, like “ethnic” and “world music”. The seminar addresses questions like: What does an anthropological perspective have to offer in the study of globalized music? What are the important issues involved in the processes of music globalization?
Learning outcomes: LEARNING RESULTS: The students become acquainted with bibliographic and field research on one of the most crucial issues in the anthropology of music. They get to know on how to handle all the stages of a research project, starting with the initial questions and methodology and ending with the final results and the writing up of a scientific paper.
