MU 375 - Gender in Music and Literature


Students in this course will explore gender representations in four distinct genres of music: opera, rock, country, and hip-hop. Along with listening to music in these four genres, they will read literature that corresponds to the music’s time period, subject matter, and performative aspects. The course is intended (1) to introduce students to some current ways of thinking and writing about issues of music, literature, and gender; (2) to facilitate students’ development of an informed, self-aware position in relation to recent scholarship; (3) to challenge assumptions about the way we read and hear gender; (4) to introduce them to excellent music and literature they might not otherwise hear or read, which will broaden their knowledge and appreciation of these art forms.

  Cross-listed as HU 375 and MU 375
