Credits: 3

An in-depth analysis of myth, pop music, and contemporary music technology that includes an examination of the evolution of pop music to its current status in which it mimics and sometimes replaces the traditional functions of the culturally informing myth. Focuses on technology from 1877 to the present, addresses issues of myth’s presence and viability in a modern world, and investigates the means by which pop icons such as Lady Gaga, Rush, and Ice-T affect local and global communities of listeners. May be applied to the following curricular field concentrations: arts and cultural traditions; communication, media, and technology; global studies; humanities.
