This course looks at French concert music through questions about the changing meaning and purpose of works of art in postwar French culture. Drawing on composers and thinkers ranging from Messiaen to Derrida, we will look at the way individuals and the state responded to the politics and technologies that shaped France's musical language over the past sixty years.
