MSC 580 Topics in Contemporary Turkish Music

This is a graduate seminar that treats New Turkish Music as a case study for a much larger problem: how a non-Western composer writes "serious" music after the West has quietly installed itself as the default reference point. You'll read heavily outside the score, Bakhtin, Derrida, Foucault, Said, Bhabha, Spivak, present a weekly reading verbally, and build toward a term essay through proposal, drafts, and an in-class presentation. It sits at the intersection of musicology and post-colonial theory, and matters because it gives you the conceptual vocabulary to think critically about identity, hegemony, and your own position as a composer or scholar working from the periphery.
