MUSIC 7340
Latin American Musical Modernisms

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2015-2016.

This seminar focuses on the development of modernist and avant-garde musical manifestations in Latin America vis-à-vis the development of larger modernist aesthetics throughout the world. Latin American and European musical manifestations will be critically examined in a comparative fashion. By taking into account the historical circumstances that gave birth to these forms of music as well as the power imbalances that have informed discourses about modernity, and center, and periphery, this seminar seeks to challenge the notion that modernisms in the margins are mere copies of European and American modernisms. Instead we will discover that "third-world" modernisms are "the flip side of Enlightened modernity."​
