Critical Sound Studies*

46-3220

This course examines theoretical discussions of Sound and Recording . While taking a few historical diversions, we attempt to come to terms with popular and experimental music's techno-cultural materiality, employing a multi-disciplinary, theoretical approach to the complexity of recorded sound as a result of technological innovation, non-performative production techniques, and adjusted expectations of cultural value; of interest for those working in the cultural study of the technology, materiality, and production as social process.

Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.
