North American Museum Practice: Ethnographic Museology and Issues of Displaying Music

This course will introduce students to the basic elements of museology, museography (the theory and practice of museum work), and folklife studies. We will look at how these elements apply to the interdisciplinary field of ethnomusicology. Readings and course assignments are designed to expose students to the various aspects of museum studies, employment (collections, archives, research, exhibits, education, administration, public relations, fund-raising, staffing, and ethics), and museology (museum theories). Throughout the semester, seminar participants will discuss the politics involved in making cultural displays through assigned and recommended readings, by examining past exemplars of applied ethnomusicological and curatorial endeavours, and by critiquing and creating interactive cultural presentations. As a seminar course, this course is designed to afford students an opportunity to explore the issues that curators, ethnomusicologists, folklorists, anthropologists, or any cultural specialist deal with when creating cultural displays.

Mode of Production and Musical Production: Approaching Music a a Social Process

What is the social power of music? And how does society constrain music? This course considers music making as a material and social process in order to relate the specific production of music to the dominant productive processes in society. Mode of Production theory will be introduced through readings of Marx and others, with special focus on the social relations of production. Using musical case studies we will first examine folk and art music as aspects of non-capitalist production (Ireland, India, Soviet Union), and then explore their transformation with the advent of capitalism (Austria, Britain, Turkey). Finally we turn to global capitalist North America ('Folk', Aboriginal, 'Multicultural'); here the goal is to apply a critical perspective to music making and today's multiple challenges of hegemony and technology, social relevance, and cultural survival.

For a final project students are invited to explore the social in music, or music in the social, choosing a topic of their interest or selecting one of the local music making organizations suggested in the syllabus.
