Art-Science Teaching at UCI : An Ethnography of Interdisciplinary Experiment

Georgina Born is an anthropologist and musician who uses ethnography to study cultural production, particularly music, television and information technologies, and is a leading exponent both of institutional ethnography and of anthropology’s application to the critical study of Western modernity. In relation to music, television and IT her work has ranged from studies of cultural production and cultural politics, to intellectual property, authorship and subjectivity, to materiality, technology and mediation. She is an international authority on computer music and musical modernism in the twentieth century, and also on contemporary media policy, the BBC and public service broadcasting in the United Kingdom and Europe.

Workshop co-sponsored by the Center for Ethnography. Second lecture is part of the 50th Anniversary Arts and Humanities Symposium, Creativity, Cognition, Critique, sponsored by the Office of the Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor, the School of the Humanities, and the Claire Trevor School of the Arts, with special participation from the Depatment of Music.
