Description :

Music has long served as a potent medium for political expression, mobilization, and resistance. This lecture explores how music and power are intertwined. Music “as an instrument to attain other goals” is the primary subject. We focus on two “instrumental” political actors: 1) people using music to secure power and 2) people using music to solidify and expand power. Both political theory and music theory are foundations for our exploration. Case materials include: popular music in the U.S. Civil War era; Wagner and National Socialism; John Williams and the Imperial March; Oscar Peterson and Hymn to Freedom; Bob Dylan and Blowin’ in the Wind; popular music in U.S. political campaigns; and AI, music, and politics in the future.
