This doctoral coursework focuses on problematizing the term ‘popular’ as it is applied to global forms of established and industrialized forms of folk, classical and ritual forms of performing arts. The term ‘pop’ typifies the exploitation of industrial approaches to revenue generation through systematic selection, promotion and dissemination of musics to consumers for capital gain. However, numerous world music traditions negate such a construction of popular music through their ‘rootedness’ in pre-modern forms of sound, movement and theatrical displays. Students will survey local, regional and transnational popular music traditions that have cultural roots in language, musical instruments, aesthetic systems, melody, tone and rhythm in Africa, Asia, Middle East, Oceania and Southeast Asia.
