Revised schedule

We are behind schedule, or at least my original schedule - here is a possible revision, ideas welcome!

Week 7, March 4
Each of us brings in one or two moments of a film score, discuss aspects of representation. What is the music representing, in your scene(s) of choice? How is it representing? Is it playing with or against stereotype? Those are some beginning questions; there is lots of literature on film music, but we have enough reading already, so I will leave it up to you if you'd like to dive into this (of course if you decide on film music for a final topic I'll expect a bibliography).

Other topics:

• Mithen, Fitch on evolution
• Music and neuroscience
• Infant-directed speech, pet-directed speech
• Ligeti, Kubrick & 2001: A Space Odyssey (and film music in general). Movie night either Wednesday or Thursday
