Megan Lavengood deposited Bespoke Music Theory: A Modular Core Curriculum Designed for Audio Engineers, Classical Violinists, and Everyone in Between in the group
Society for Music Theory (SMT) on Humanities Commons 5 years, 4 months agoTraditional music theory curricula are increasingly scrutinized.

Jonathan Basile deposited Other Matters: Karen Barad’s Two Materialisms and the Science of Undecidability in the group
Gender Studies on Humanities Commons 5 years, 4 months agoKaren Barad’s Meeting the Universe Halfway relies on mutually incompatible grounding gestures, one of which describes the relationality of an always already material-discursive reality, while the other seeks to ground this relation one-sidedly in matter. These two materialisms derive from the gesture she borrows from the New Materialist (and o…[Read more]

Gender Studies on Humanities Commons 5 years, 5 months agoThis article explores the way assumptions about gender prevalent in twenty-first century readers impact our understanding of Sarai. It interrogates the way a mere glimpse allows us to instantaneously assign a person gender, something trans theorist Julia Serano calls gendering. Through this article, we see how the third-party accounts of Sarai in…[Read more]

Steven Swarbrick deposited Dancing with Perdita: The Choreography of Lost Time in The Winter’s Tale in the group
Critical Disability Studies on Humanities Commons 5 years, 5 months agoShakespeare scholarship has long been interested in the temporal dynamics of The Winter’s Tale, and has often turned to melancholic or traumatic time frames to explain the thematic persistence of lost time in Shakespeare’s romance. In this chapter, I argue that dance provides a key interpretive framework for understanding the play’s interest in bo…[Read more]

SMT Post-1945 Music Analysis Interest Group on Humanities Commons 5 years, 5 months agoHi everyone,
Thank you so much to those who weighed in on this. Based on this small sample, it seems like we’re split between those who would like to shut the group down and those who would like to keep the group going as a space for sharing research.
I tend to lean toward Amy’s position… I avoid posting on Facebook in general, and am not…[Read more]

SMT Post-1945 Music Analysis Interest Group on Humanities Commons 5 years, 5 months agoHi all,
As long as all the official business of the the Post-1945 Group takes place on HC Commons, I really don’t see any harm in keeping the FB Group. (And I don’t find approving new members particularly burdensome.) In fact, I would say: if the post-1945 group only sees itself as focused on SMT exclusive business, it has somewhat lost sight…[Read more]

SMT Post-1945 Music Analysis Interest Group on Humanities Commons 5 years, 5 months agoHi all,
Even if the new members aren’t in academic music theory, it might be nice to keep the platform as a way of just having our research have a bit wider of a reach. That way our research might be read by a few more people.
Of course, there’s a risk of a heavy moderation burden if the group ever stops being quiet. My suggestion would be to…[Read more]
