FA 230 Imagining the State: Music and Nationalism


3 credits

This course explores the ways in which music participates in cultural life by engaging in the political process of nation building. In doing so, it examines the extent to which music has shaped individual and collective identities over time. The primary scope entails the long nineteenth century (or the French Revolution to the First World War) with a secondary emphasis devoted to the spread of these ideas across the Atlantic world in the early 20111 century. As such, this course provides a comprehensive critique of the ways in which music and the arts participated in the complex process by which subjects of a monarchy became citizens of a state.
