Faculty Research Colloquium: Barry Shank, "Listening to the Political"Friday, May 16, 12:30-2pm
Hagerty 451 (CS Seminar Room)
There are many good reasons to listen to music. Listening to music for its political significance, however, is typically not one of them. More often than not, listening to music for its political significance requires one to ignore probably the best reason for listening to music: the experience of musical beauty. This talk will explore the possibilities of listening to the political through a focus on the experience of musical beauty. I will argue that the pleasure that derives from the experience of musical beauty can help to identify the political agency of music.
