In this course we survey the resistive song cultures of the Hispanophone world of the last 30 years. By attending to sounds, compositional structure and instrumentation, languages, lyrical and album content, students will critically analyze, both, how discriminatory and oppressive power structures in Hispanophone societies function in the sphere of culture, and how popular music functions as a space where interventions, contestations and resistances take place. Through the careful focus on complete works by artists known for their subversive approach to music-making (i.e. Rita Indiana, Ana Tijoux, La Dame Blanche, iLe, Rebeca Lane, Eli Almic, Quetzal, Los pleneros de la cresta, and QUITAPENAS among others), contextualized by relevant reading in music studies, cultural studies, and literary and critical theory, and aided by attention to art sleeves, inlays, liner notes, digital booklets, and music videos—we re-examine what the term “Hispanic” means, considering the varied expressive cultures, peoples, and identities that constitute this identifier beyond the Iberian Peninsula.
