This course examines the interrelation between music, culture, and society from the early 20th century until the present in Spain. Music will be studied in relation to constructions and representations of gender, ethnicity, and the nation within Spain. We will listen to and discuss musical pieces from diverse genres such as zarzuela, copla, rock, rap, punk, and pop. In addition to the music itself, course materials will include films, documentaries, and theoretical texts on the cultural study of music. Taught in Spanish.
