DESCRIPTION:
Professor Jonathon Bakan explains how music organizes our bodies and creates a sense of community.

Culture & Expression investigates how meaning, embedded in form, offers ways of understanding culture as a complex expression that animates human imagination and life.

Culture & Expression explores the catalytic relationship between the creative human imagination and the cultural settings that ignite it. C&E focusses on historical and contemporary themes, questioning how they are expressed, refracted, and reflected through a range of cultural forms that include expressions of popular culture found in cinema, music, literary studies, theatre, electronic and other media. Theoretical courses prepare students to delve into the core of 'meaning' in culture, by interrogating a wide variety of sites, analyzing the social, economic and political contexts in which culture manifests itself.
