Course description: This seminar draws on a wide range of disciplines to develop historical and critical understandings of the relationship between music and technology. We will focus especially on questions of how new technologies emerge, stabilize and change; their implications for music making, aesthetics and ontology; and the potential relationships between humans and objects. Through engagement with such questions, the course aims to prepare students to write new kinds of (music) history and ethnography, to intervene in debates about the digital and its consequences, and to inform their design and use of music technologies.
