Music
What is at stake in music as a cultural practice? The musical artifacts of a given historical place or time provide evidence for prevailing beliefs and ideologies, and for the auditory elements at play in the development of cultural expression. The essays here discuss genres and individual works from literary, anthropological, sociological, philosophical, and political perspectives.
