MHST 360 - Jazz & Media Studies Through the Neumann ArchiveFC CNDP DDHU CD 4 credits This course will explore the broad ramifications of the “archival turn.” Coursework will intertwine two primary curricular activities: (1) an interdisciplinary survey of recent writings including archival theory, postcolonial studies, and African American literature studies, and (2) hands-on engagement with the James R. and Susan Neumann Jazz Collection. Students will curate a public exhibit of materials from the collection. In the process, students investigate challenging questions such as: evaluating the nature and function of archives; assessing the importance of inclusion, exclusion, and usage of objects, physical documentation, and ephemera; and archives as a potential platform for under-recognized constituencies. Prerequisites & Notes: 200-level MHST or 200-level ETHN course. Does this course require off campus field trips? No
