Latinx Sounds Studies, Sonics, and Soundscapes

1 Unit · Undergraduate

This seminar explores Latine Sound Studies, an interdisciplinary field that examines how sound (beyond music) functions as a technology of racialization. We will listen closely, map, assess, evaluate, and examine race, gender, and sexuality in relation to sound through listening exercises and readings from sound studies, queer of color critique, feminist theory, music studies, media studies, and Latinx studies. LATINO 201, 202, or 203 recommended.
