Popular Music and the Cultural Politics of Desire

0.5 credits · Undergraduate

This course, drawing extensively on criticism from the last thirty years, examines popular music from the 1920s to the 2020s as a cultural space where repressive sexual and gender norms have been routinely contested, frequently and violently reasserted, and very occasionally overcome. Prerequisite: 10.0 university credits including 3.0 CUST credits.
