"Literature and Musical Genre" is designed as a five-week Summer Session Course. It is a lower-division literature course that satisfies several general education and departmental major & minor requirements.
Course DescriptionG.E. Requirements: Race and Ethnicity (ER), Textual Analysis (TA)
Our love of musical genres shapes our language, communities, tastes, identities, and aesthetics. We can learn about popular musical genres, thus learn about ourselves and others, through reading and listening carefully. Each week we discern the qualities, cultures, and stereotypes that define a popular musical genre. Then, we examine how those qualities, cultures and stereotypes are expressed in literary, filmic, and musical texts. |
