A broad survey of the world's music cultures covering North and South America; Africa; Europe; South, East, and South-East Asia; and the Pacific. Special attention will be given to the musics of the Pacific Islands, New Zealand and Australia. A survey of the peoples of Pacific Islands through the perspectives of archaeology, biological anthropology, ethnomusicology, linguistics and social anthropology. International, cross-cultural and interdisciplinary perspectives question âraceâ and âracismâ. Why does the concept have such social and political potency? What are the impacts of concepts of race and practices of racism and anti-racism on individuals, families, communities, nation-states and empires, and in Aotearoa New Zealand and the Pacific in particular? A survey of popular music styles, artists, sub-cultures and issues that explores facets such as genre, the music industry, music and politics, music videos, the sales process, race and identity, and gender theory. Core theory and writers in popular music studies are introduced and popular music is used to explore societal changes in class, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, youth, and global economic and cultural processes. An examination of current concepts in archaeological research and their place in the development of archaeological thought. How archaeology makes use of its methods and theories to understand the past. An introductory laboratory component. This course is essential for students who may wish to continue their study of Archaeology at Stage III. The study of human evolution, including recent advances in fossil, molecular, primate and ecological approaches. A survey of some of the key anthropological theories used to analyse human social life, discussed by reference to cross-cultural studies. Also considers current debates/issues within the discipline. What is distinctive about Polynesian culture and society? How and why are Polynesian cultures alike? How are they different? In what ways are Fiji, Samoa, Tikopia, Tokelau and Tonga different or similar to other Oceanic cultures? Anthropological studies of these questions will be explored through indigenous Polynesian, anthropological and historical accounts. The shift from a hunter-gatherer way of life to one based on village life and agriculture is foundational for the development of complex society. The course considers what socio-cultural changes were involved as Holocene societies developed in different parts of the world and how the relationship between humans and the environment changed. An introduction to New Zealand's archaeological history, from early MÄori origins to the initial period of Western contact. Tropical Polynesian adaptations to New Zealand's temperate climate, MÄori's rich material culture and arts, resource use and environmental change, development of classic MÄori society, and the emerging field of historic archaeology are covered. The history of ethnographic and other accounts of contemporary MÄori society, examining the derivation of various social theories and their application to the MÄori under changing political and economic circumstances in New Zealand since industrialisation. Gender as a cultural construction has been a dynamic field of anthropological inquiry for the past three decades. How do various peoples exhibit and conceptualise gender differences? How have anthropologists studied them? Human sexuality and sexual behaviour explored from a variety of perspectives within anthropology. Topics include: the evolution of sex, cross-cultural variation in sexual behaviour, sex and the brain, sex through the life course, and the impact of sexually transmitted diseases. The reflection of identity explorations and negotiations in various mainstream popular musics, especially in regard to race and ethnicity. Musical styles, albums and artists from genres such as Punk, Hip Hop, Country and Soul will be explored, showing popular music's usefulness as a tool for exploring and documenting social phenomena and power structures. African-American popular music and culture from the mid-1930s through the early 1960s, including styles such as blues, R ân' B, and early Rock ân' Roll. Considers issues of racial and gendered representation, creativity, the popular music industry, the place of music in the development of âyouth cultureâ and stylistic trends. Individual performers, recordings and performances, are also examined.

Topics include: nutrition, growth and development, environmental effects on human biology and concepts of genetic variation including race. Explores art, material culture, music and performance within diverse socio-cultural contexts. Introduces analytic methods that can be used to deepen appreciation and understanding of different art forms, their aesthetic systems, and the ways that they are encoded with meaning. The study of the traditional narrative and dramatic music traditions in the context of their related theatre genres (Noh, Bunraku, Kabuki etc). Attention will also be paid to associated lyric musical styles. The study of selected musics from the Indian sub-continent, including traditional, religious, and street musics, classical vocal and instrumental styles and the popular musics of the commercial cinema and music industries.

Humans are social and cultural beings. This course provides an understanding of human lives. Basic concepts and approaches are covered. World archaeology from the emergence of culture to the first cities, including the Pacific region. Who was Lucy and what is a hominid? What can studying monkeys and apes tell us about our evolutionary past? An introduction to the range of topics addressed and approaches used in the biological study of the human species. Topics covered include: an introduction to evolutionary theory, the most recent evidence of the fossil remains of our ancestors, studies of primate evolution and behaviour, and understanding patterns of modern human variation. A broad survey of the world's music cultures covering North and South America; Africa; Europe; South, East, and South-East Asia; and the Pacific. Special attention will be given to the musics of the Pacific Islands, New Zealand and Australia. A survey of the peoples of Pacific Islands through the perspectives of archaeology, biological anthropology, ethnomusicology, linguistics and social anthropology. International, cross-cultural and interdisciplinary perspectives question âraceâ and âracismâ. Why does the concept have such social and political potency? What are the impacts of concepts of race and practices of racism and anti-racism on individuals, families, communities, nation-states and empires, and in Aotearoa New Zealand and the Pacific in particular? A survey of popular music styles, artists, sub-cultures and issues that explores facets such as genre, the music industry, music and politics, music videos, the sales process, race and identity, and gender theory. Core theory and writers in popular music studies are introduced and popular music is used to explore societal changes in class, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, youth, and global economic and cultural processes. An examination of current concepts in archaeological research and their place in the development of archaeological thought. How archaeology makes use of its methods and theories to understand the past. An introductory laboratory component. This course is essential for students who may wish to continue their study of Archaeology at Stage III. The study of human evolution, including recent advances in fossil, molecular, primate and ecological approaches. A survey of some of the key anthropological theories used to analyse human social life, discussed by reference to cross-cultural studies. Also considers current debates/issues within the discipline. What is distinctive about Polynesian culture and society? How and why are Polynesian cultures alike? How are they different? In what ways are Fiji, Samoa, Tikopia, Tokelau and Tonga different or similar to other Oceanic cultures? Anthropological studies of these questions will be explored through indigenous Polynesian, anthropological and historical accounts. The shift from a hunter-gatherer way of life to one based on village life and agriculture is foundational for the development of complex society. The course considers what socio-cultural changes were involved as Holocene societies developed in different parts of the world and how the relationship between humans and the environment changed. An introduction to New Zealand's archaeological history, from early MÄori origins to the initial period of Western contact. Tropical Polynesian adaptations to New Zealand's temperate climate, MÄori's rich material culture and arts, resource use and environmental change, development of classic MÄori society, and the emerging field of historic archaeology are covered. The history of ethnographic and other accounts of contemporary MÄori society, examining the derivation of various social theories and their application to the MÄori under changing political and economic circumstances in New Zealand since industrialisation. Gender as a cultural construction has been a dynamic field of anthropological inquiry for the past three decades. How do various peoples exhibit and conceptualise gender differences? How have anthropologists studied them? Human sexuality and sexual behaviour explored from a variety of perspectives within anthropology. Topics include: the evolution of sex, cross-cultural variation in sexual behaviour, sex and the brain, sex through the life course, and the impact of sexually transmitted diseases. The reflection of identity explorations and negotiations in various mainstream popular musics, especially in regard to race and ethnicity. Musical styles, albums and artists from genres such as Punk, Hip Hop, Country and Soul will be explored, showing popular music's usefulness as a tool for exploring and documenting social phenomena and power structures. African-American popular music and culture from the mid-1930s through the early 1960s, including styles such as blues, R ân' B, and early Rock ân' Roll. Considers issues of racial and gendered representation, creativity, the popular music industry, the place of music in the development of âyouth cultureâ and stylistic trends. Individual performers, recordings and performances, are also examined. Examines the multiple roles and meanings of music in human culture through consideration of specific musical instances and music-culture case studies. Views music as an independent creative art form and as a symbolic component of cultural expression, as well as a paradigm for cultural structures and behaviours. Considers the field of ethnomusicology from the perspectives of anthropology and musicology, among other disciplines. An overview of major developments in the prehistory of Europe, including the British Isles, from Palaeolithic art to the Iron Age ending with the Vikings. Emphasis will be on significant, well-studied sites, archaeological treasures, population movements and interactions which help us to understand European heritage. The study of modern human biology focusing on variation and adaptability at the molecular, individual and population levels.

The study of selected musics from the Indian sub-continent, including traditional, religious, and street musics, classical vocal and instrumental styles and the popular musics of the commercial cinema and music industries. From hip hop to reggae to pop, this course explores Pacific popular music genre, artists and songs as well as relevant musical techniques, modes of distribution and processes of fusion and change. It probes the positions and possibilities of Pasifika pop musics by discussing critical questions about culture, authenticity, modernisation, consumerism, identity and musical (ex)change.
