Affect, trance, healing, and the self
Contents
Assigned readings
Please read the following.
Music and Trance, by Judith Becker (10 pages).
Head, Heart, Odor, and Shadow, by Marina Roseman (20 pages).
Congregational Music in a Pentecostal Church, by Queen Booker (14 pages).
Review of Steven Friedson's book, Dancing Prophets (5 pages).
Note: Friedson's book is available in the SUB bookstore. While the book is too long to assign in a course such as this, many of you will find it fascinating, particularly after watching the video. The review provides an overview of the book, as well as an example of how critical reviews are constructed.
