Description

Performing Arts and Power in Sub-Saharan Africa

This course will offer students ethnomusicological perspectives on performing arts and power in Sub-Saharan Africa. We will explore both traditional and modern performing art forms and investigate how their performance and production are intimately connected to power relations. Among the topics to be discussed are: performing arts as modes of resistance, as a means for negotiating power, establishing social identity, providing agency and empowerment, and constructing gender spaces. While we will explore a wide variety of genres from several countries, this course is not meant to serve as a survey of African performing and non-performing arts. Instead we will seek to unravel the intersections between performing arts, culture, and society by asking specifically how the arts constitute potent means of maintaining, contesting, and negotiating power.
