(GB) (CA-AS) (CU-ITL)     
Spring. 3 credits. Student option grading.

L. Tayeb.

What does Islam ”say” about music? This course will trace circulations of this question in scholarly, popular, media, and religious discourses. Why and how does it matter what sound is called music and not, what music is called Islamic and not? We ask both how the thinking and the doing of music and Islam have been entangled in particular moments and places and how and why Muslim and non-Muslim scholars have sought out these entanglements. No prior study of music or Islam is required.
