Meets second 8 weeks. NOTE: We will meet 10-12:30 on Wednesday,
January 9 (location TBA) for the first class.  (registered students
with a schedule conflict should send an e-mail to tuohys@indiana.edu
before the end of the fall semester).  The remainder of the meetings
will occur in the second eight-week session. Readings, research, and
assignments will be spread throughout the semester, with
communication taking place through e-mail.
This course deals with writings that explain the history of
ethnomusicology.  Histories select from and give form to the
particularities of past practice, tracing back from the present and
offering a view of how we got to where we are and where we might go
from here.  Thus they come in many shapes and forms.  We will explore
theoretical and practical problems involved in writing histories of
intellectual history, attending to the contexts of their production
and their roles in shaping contemporary thought and practice.  Our
readings
begin with histories that are repeated in the Englishlanguage
ethnomusicology "classics," through which

the need to widen our terminology beyond 'ethnomusicology' becomes
apparent.  From there we will move to histories produced in other
time periods, disciplines, and parts of the world. Research projects
may address broad concerns in disciplinary history or focus on
particular histories in terms of time, place, or scholar.
Readings: A course packet to be read and discussed by the class along
with works selected for individual

research projects.
Requirements tentatively include: class preparation and participation
(25%) and written assignments (75%): 1) an
annotated bibliography (of class and individual readings); 2) short
assignments totaling about 6 pages (some due during the first 8 weeks
of the semester); and 3) a research project (including a proposal and
a final paper of approximately 20 pages).
