MUSIC 9: Theorizing Blackness in Film and Music
This course will explore the intersections of film, music, and representations of Black Americans. Film media will span from biopics to documentaries, movie musicals, and fantasy. Associated repertory will include jazz, blues, civil rights anthems, Western art music, and more. Readings in African American studies, musicology, and performance studies will ground our analytic frames as we explore questions related to interiority, exteriority, relics of minstrelsy, class, respectability politics, entertainment, law, and the sonic color line.

MUSIC 18N: Musical Dishonesty: Fakes, Forgeries, Counterfeits, Hoaxes, Deceptions, Illusions, and Artifice
Dishonesty is everywhere. Is anything still honest? To answer we examine the myriad types of musical dishonesty, some harmless and fanciful, others deliberate and pernicious: artfully misleading deceptive cadences and fake endings; evident frauds (the fictional band Spinal Tap) and purposely obscured ones (the lip-syncing of Milli Vanilli); psychoacoustic illusions (infinitely ascending Shepard tones); biographical deceptions of "dangerous" rappers and metal bands; fake Mozart manuscripts; ghost composers and AI generated music; the question of sampling; self-mythologized artists from KISS to P-Funk; and so on. Students will also explore examples beyond music, such as current political events and contemporary conspiracy theories.
