What makes a group of songs a “cycle”? Is it a theme, lyric, or simple proximity? Isn’t a song cycle just a concept album? In this course we’ll play through and recompose the literature about song cycles, from Schubert to Joanna Newsom’s Ys to many others. We’ll start by radically recomposing a
This seminar is based on the 1973 songwriting classics, “Innervisions” , and the 1976 “Songs in the Key of Life”, both released on Tamala Records, a subsidiary of Motown Records.

Faculty will provide key

Critical fabulation, as coined by Saidiya Hartman in the essay “Venus in Two Acts,” is a method for recovering unwritten histories. By
Are islands only geographic, or can they be social? Can a community be an island, the way an island can be a community? For almost two centuries, linguists have used the metaphor of “speech islands” to describe groups of people speaking one language who live surrounded by speakers of another. These communities may be

How do collections of inanimate molecules drive complex biological processes that define what it means to be living? There is no simple answer. This course introduces the chemical and physical properties of biological building blocks, with an emphasis on the structure and reactivity of biological macromolecules. These macromolecules are examined in detail to understand how
Where and how does study happen? What is the value of study, and how do we recognize that value? What does it mean to think of our study of dance and performance as an encounter, and how might that thinking offer up a chance for one to pay attention differently? Is it different from research? Or, as Kevin Quashie suggests, does it perhaps
