MUSC-3950

Blurred Lines: Cultural Appropriation in Music
(3.0 credit hours)

In recent years, the public has become increasingly aware of the ways that cultural expressions can be stolen, misused, or appropriated. Amid popular discourse, however, there is often disagreement on what exactly constitutes cultural appropriation, and to what extent the risk of appropriation should influence cultural activities. What is culture, and who does it belong to? What is the line between acts of musical inspiration and acts of stealing? Through immersion in a range of case studies – from Gwen Stefani and racial plagiarism to Madama Butterfly and exoticism – students will consider the many ways that cultural (mis)appropriation is present in musical activity throughout history and in the 21st century. Reading Musical notation not required. Prerequisite(s): 30 credit hours of university-level studies. Intensive Week: May 5-9 (9am - 4pm). Room TBD. This course meets the Ways of Knowing II requirement. At the heart of this course is a question: how can we know if something is cultural appropriation? Students will be invited to reflect on the numerous ways that this question can be answered. They will explore their own positionalities and consider how this impacts their capacity to engage in cross-cultural borrowing. They will reflect on how to discern whose interpretation – or whose way of knowing – rises to the top in a collaborative or community setting. For example, we might consider ways the CMU community engages in cultural borrowing. Who gets to decide if it has become cultural appropriation, and who can we consult to discern this?

PHIL-2950

Fascism and Representation: The Philosophy of Violence and Film
(3.0 credit hours)

WORKING DRAFT DESCRIPTION - Theodor Adorno’s infamous claim that “to write a poem after Auschwitz is barbaric” acutely illustrates the tenuous relationship between the modern experience of violence and its representation in art and culture. Despite Adorno’s warning of the dangers of representing violence, violence has become an increasingly prevalent aspect of Western popular culture and cinema. This course will a) explore the ways that classic and contemporary films have attempted to account for the violence that pervades modern society and b) analyze the extent to which the cinematic medium itself, as a uniquely modern technology of perception, is bound up with fascism and violence. Are there appropriate ways to cinematically represent violence? Does cinema implicate us in the violence of modern society, or might it function as a critical philosophical lens with which to acknowledge and transform violence? We will engage these questions and others like them by watching films (such as The Act of Killing and The Zone of Interest) and reading theorists (such as Theodor Adorno and Gillian Rose) that take up the relationship between modern violence and culture.
