Download Syllabus Draft Syllabus Subject To Change 1 Music and Madness Carmel Raz This undergraduate seminar offers historical, critical, and cross-cultural perspectives on music as a cause, symptom, and treatment of madness. The course is intended to foster interdisciplinary engagement between students interested in music, medicine, literature, philosophy, and anthropology, and to provide them with critical tools to examine constructions of music and altered mental states in social, scientific, and historical contexts. In every class, we will investigate a number of approaches to a given mental state by discussing readings by musicologists, ethnomusicologists, historians, disability studies, and medico-scientific researchers. No musical background or skills are necessary to participate. In addition to an in-depth presentation of readings in class (approximately corresponding to one reading in each disciplinary area), students will complete occasional brief responses and quizzes, and will submit a final research paper. Assignments and Grading Breakdown: 1. Final paper (ca. 15-20 pages) and presentation (40% of grade) 2. Active class participation (25% of grade) • Come to class prepared to critique the readings assigned each class. 3. Written responses / quizzes (10% of grade) 4. Introduction of two or three readings, assigned in class (25% of grade) • Two or three depends on the length and difficulty of the texts. • Students introducing the text should send me a short summary – ca. 300 words of the text’s main arguments and 3-5 discussion questions by 8pm on the Saturday prior to their presentation. Policies: • No computers, tablets, or phones in the classroom. • Office hours: Thursday at 11-11:45am at my office in the Heyman Center, room 313. • There is no required textbook for the class — I will post all texts online. • Email me ahead of time if you are going to be late / absent. After two unexcused absences your grade will be lowered 5% of the final grade per additional absence. • As you all know, Wikipedia is not an acceptable secondary source for your assignments A Note on Academic Integrity Follow the rules set out by Columbia in the College and University Policies section of the online Bulletin as well as in the Facts About Columbia Essential to Students (FACETS).

  • The Influence of Characteristics on Music Enjoyment and Preference
    Page 12 Oshkosh Scholar The Influence of Characteristics on Music Enjoyment and Preference Kristie Wirth, author Dr. Quin Chrobak, Psychology, faculty mentor Kristie Wirth is a senior at UW Oshkosh studying psychology and French. She plans to pursue a Ph.D. in counseling psychology after graduating. Her ideal career would involve both teaching and counseling at a university. She conducted the following research study as part of the McNair Scholars Program during spring 2012. Dr. Quin Chrobak received his B.A. from Drew University, his M.A. from American University, and his Ph.D. in experimental psychology from Kent State University. His research focuses on understanding how memory and cognition operate in complex real-world situations. Most recently, his research has begun to explore the notion that the nature of the relationship between witnessed and suggested/fabricated events may contribute to the false memory development. Abstract Past research has indicated that two specific personality traits, openness and empathy, may contribute to greater enjoyment of music that expresses negative emotions. Individuals with elevated levels of depressive symptoms may similarly have a preference for negative music. However, no research to date has explored the impact of both personality traits and depressive symptoms in the same investigation. The current study measured both music enjoyment (how much people like certain music) and music preference (how often people choose to listen to certain music) after exposure to negative, neutral, and positive music. Supporting prior research, this study indicated that individuals high in overall empathy (the ability to experience the emotions of another) had a greater enjoyment of negative emotional music.

It is an Open Access peer reviewed journal that invites dialogue and discussion about music, health, and social change. The journal values inclusiveness and socio-cultural awareness and has increasingly nurtured a critical edge that refines the focus on cultural issues and social justice. Further information at https://voices.no/index.php/voices/index CALL FOR PAPERS SPECIAL ISSUE MEDICAL ETHNOMUSICOLOGY AND MUSIC THERAPY Guest editors Jane Edwards (Ireland/Australia), Gregory Barz (USA), and Busskorn Binson (Thailand) Medical ethnomusicology is an emerging interdisciplinary area of study. Hailed as “representing a new stage of collaborative discourse among researchers, musicians, and practitioners”; FSU web site http://fla.st/1prUG2O, it refers to knowledge which spans the globe of traditional cultural practices of music, health, and healing. To date little dialogue between music therapy and medical ethnomusicology has occurred. This special issue of Voices presents an opportunity to open further dialogue seeking clarification of the differences and synergies between music therapy and medical ethnomusicology, in order to discover and develop new collaborations and alignments. Individual authors or collaborating practitioners and scholars who wish to discuss, present, critique, or describe practices in ethnomusicology that relate to health and well- being, or practices in music therapy that align with medical ethnomusicology are invited to submit scholarly papers for consideration in a special issue of the journal to be published in 2015.

  • Spring 2009 Curriculum
    Spring 2009 Curriculum ART HISTORY AH2102.01 Fashion and Modernism Josh Blackwell “Let There Be Fashion, Down With Art” –Max Ernst Fashion acts as a powerful analogue to and forecaster of Modernism's rise. Artists such as Matisse, Balla, Bakst, Delaunay and Dali took note of fashion's nascent agency and created clothing as a means of engaging the new political, social and cultural landscapes of the 20th Century. Influenced by Charles Baudelaire's radical questioning of beauty and fashion, artists attempted to define fashion’s role in culture, manipulating it to reflect their own proclivities. This seminar will consider various movements such as Cubism, Fauvism, Futurism, Constructivism, Dada, and Surrealism through the lens of fashion, investigating the various agendas and ideologies deployed. Culminating in the creation of original garments, students will engage the political spectrum as it intersects with Modernism's aesthetic partisanship. Regular assignments will include reading, visual research, and critical analysis of the material. A high degree of motivation is expected. Prerequisites: None. Credits: 2 Time: W 2:10 - 6pm (This course meets the second seven weeks of the term.) AH4101.01 Thematic Exposure Andrew Spence Taking a cue from recent exhibitions in art museums, art galleries, auction houses as well as trade show exhibits of antiques, design, cars, boats and art fairs, exhibition organizers and artists are interested in merging pluralistic elements of our culture into one big inclusive and broader based experience. Students in this class take a closer look at this development by selecting their own group of "things from anywhere" and presenting them in a meaningful way by producing a catalog for a hypothetical exhibition.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: RESEARCH ON
    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: RESEARCH ON MUSIC AND HEALING IN ETHNOMUSICOLOGY AND MUSIC THERAPY May May Chiang, Master of Arts, 2008 Directed By: Professor J. Lawrence Witzleben Department of Musicology and Ethnomusicology, Chair. This thesis examines current developments in the research and discourse on music and healing. Ethnomusicology has involved extensive work on documenting traditional music and healing traditions; however, ethnomusicologists have neglected to contribute their knowledge and effort to healthcare-oriented research. Music therapy, on the other hand, has been focusing on the benefit of the patient, but rarely relates its practices to traditional music and healing traditions or non-Western music. Despite the recent establishment of the Medical Ethnomusicology Special Interest Group in the Society for Ethnomusicology and increasing awareness of world music and cultural diversity in music therapy, scholars in the two fields have not yet collaborated with each other extensively. The motivations for this thesis are: to review previous developments in research on music and healing, to find out the reasons for the changes in the research trends of the past decade, and to see possible research directions in the future.

  • Classical Net Review
    The Internet's Premier Classical Music Source BOOK REVIEW The Psychology of Music Diana Deutsch, editor Academic Press, Third Edition, 2013, pp xvii + 765 ISBN-10: 012381460X ISBN-13: 978-0123814609 The psychology of music was first explored in detail in modern times in a book of that name by Carl E. Seashore… Psychology Of Music was published in 1919. Dover's paperback edition of almost 450 pages (ISBN- 10: 0486218511; ISBN-13: 978-0486218519) is still in print from half a century later (1967) and remains a good starting point for those wishing to understand the relationship between our minds and music, chiefly as a series of physical processes. From the last quarter of the twentieth century onwards much research and many theories have changed the models we have of the mind when listening to or playing music. Changes in music itself, of course, have dictated that the nature of human interaction with it has grown. Unsurprisingly, books covering the subject have proliferated too. These range from examinations of how memory affects our experience of music through various forms of mental disabilities, therapies and deviations from "standard" auditory reception, to attempts to explain music appreciation psychologically. Donald Hodges' and David Conrad Sebald's Music in the Human Experience: An Introduction to Music Psychology (ISBN-10: 0415881862; ISBN-13: 978- 0415881869) makes a good introduction to the subject; while Aniruddh Patel's Music, Language, and the Brain (ISBN-10: 0199755302; ISBN-13: 978-0199755301) is a good (and now classic/reference) overview. Oliver Sacks' Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain (ISBN-10: 1400033535; ISBN-13: 978-1400033539) examines specific areas from a clinical perspective.
