FOLK-F 252 FOLKLORE & THE HUMANITIES: YOUTH SUB-CULTURES AND MUSIC
Time & Date: 04:00P-05:15P TR BH 330
Instructor: Fernando Orejuela, Ph.D.
The course Youth Music Scenes will focus on the informal processes through which young people negotiate “childhood,” “tweens,” “teenager,” and “youth,” and as a means of understanding how they use music in their everyday lives to construct a status quo as well as resist the dominant adult culture. The course explores the musical cultures of youth as a continuum of social processes, created within the context of real, imagined, and historical communities.
