MUHI 3343 - Music and Identity in Colonial and Postcolonial France

Credits: 3

For undergraduate students with or without musical backgrounds. Explores music in France and in the colonies of the Maghreb and sub-Saharan Africa from the late 19th century to the present, including events that led to the invention of new musical styles in these geographical areas. Also, the music of the diaspora in France. Focuses on the incorporation of foreign musical elements by composers living in France, including the social context for several musical compositions, and the musical traditions of Java, Spain, and Russia, which provided sources of inspiration for these works. Examines how music has been used in colonial and postcolonial contexts to construct regional, ethnic, and national identities in France and formerly colonized countries. Does not satisfy music history requirements for music majors or minors; may be taken by music majors or minors as an elective. (SMU-in-Paris).
