What could music change, do and heal? By combining approaches from applied musicology, political music-making and medical ethnomusicology, we will trace the stories and intersections linking music, civil liberties, land ownership, health programmes, cultural entrepreneurship and global migration. Drawing on a wide range of applied global and local case studies, ranging from El Sistema to aboriginal songlines, and from Apple Music to Ugandan choirs combatting AIDS, we attempt to understand the active place and force of music and sound in the practical world today.

Why do humans derive so much pleasure from music? What is the nature of musical emotion? Where does pleasure meet the political? This seminar explores anthropological and aesthetic approaches to these and other questions to understand the role of pleasure and the emotions in our musical and social lives. Using case-studies from the US and around the world, our discussions will include issues of work and play, morality and taboos, religious ecstasy, love and intimacy, the pleasures of sadness, and music as pain, as well as insights from music cognition and psychology in understanding how music affects us.
