SoSe 17: Rock Music

James Martin

Comments

This course will study Rock Music in several different ways simultaneously. One will be historical. It will begin with the important antecedents/beginnings of this art form and continue until the early 80s. Areas covered will include early black blues, rhythm and blues, 50’s rock and roll, folk-rock, acid rock, art rock, disco, punk, new wave, heavy metal, the beginning of rap, etc. Another approach will be topical. The course will incorporate ideas that have interacted with the music: ethnicity, racism, politics, sexual freedom, drugs, and censorship. The course will also study various commercial aspects, i.e., the record industry, radio, MTV, etc., and will examine the music’s effects upon women. We will have readings, listen to musical examples, and watch video tapes. close
