Pacific Music Festival: Art, Politics, and Economy

2015 1st Semester, Intensive summer program

This is an 8-day intensive summer program to introduce you to cultural studies with focus on the Pacific Music Festival (PMF). Main lectures will be offered by Professor Yoshihara, a leading researcher of American cultural studies and a keen amateur pianist. This program is designed to help you to understand ethnographic approaches to cultural studies through activities both inside and outside of the classroom: a piano performance-lecture by Prof. Yoshihara herself, an interview with PMF musicians, a PMF live concert at Kitara, a field trip to the Ainu Museum in Shiraoi.
