MUTH 317 - Music and Embodied Cognition

FC CNDP, DDHU
4 credits
This course examines the relationship between musical experience (performing and listening), conceptualization, and meaning. The approach is interdisciplinary, with readings from or based on perception and cognition, human evolution, cognitive linguistics, musicology (history and theory), philosophy, and identity performance. Written coursework includes responses to readings, analysis of works and styles, and a term paper. In addition to Western classical music we will focus on jazz, folk, popular music (broadly conceived, e.g., Björk, Kendrick Lamar, etc.), and as many other kinds of music as time allows.
Prerequisites & Notes: Prerequisites: Junior standing and instructor consent.
