IDS 2004 - Katrinaville: A Tale of Two Cities

Credits: 4
This course interfaces ethnography, urban studies, and musicology in the treatment of tricentennial New Orleans. Three initial units present an historical overview with contemporary issues and the ruling oppositions and unities presented by artistic cultures, race, ethnicity, religion, geography, and political history. A final unit treats post-Katrina recovery with updates from the three disciplines. Students will engage in readings and discussions, give two reports, attend lectures, access documentaries and web materials, and complete a semester-long research project on the Creole city on a topic of their choice integrating two or more of the disciplines of musicology, urban studies, and ethnography.
