Soundbites of racial cartographies in the Early Modern Atlantic
In July of 1793, John Randolph gave a sworn deposition stating that his wife woke him up when she heard a “great noise” from a group of enslaved and freed Black people beneath their window. What John Randolph heard or fantasized at his window were reverberations of a global movement ignited by the Haitian revolution and a local iteration of a sonic uprising. This essay takes Randolph’s deposition as a point of departure for listening to an early …
Women and Music in Sixteenth-Century Ferrara , by Laurie Stras
The musica secreta or Concerto delle Dame—otherwise known as the singing ladies of Ferrara—has been well known in musicological circles since Angelo Solerti wrote about it in the early twentieth century, and since the 1970s it has had more and more play. But I do not recall seeing it in a book that uses the word “uxoricide” (a man who murders his wife) prior to Laurie Stras’s Women and Music in Sixteenth-Century Ferrara. She writes, “While uxoric…
Early American Music and the Construction of Race
An ideology of racial difference is baked into American music history. The staggering diversity of music heard in the sixteenth through nineteenth centuries, as waves of colonization, forced migration, enslavement, expulsion, and immigration brought different peoples into prolonged and often violent contact with each other, created lasting ideas and praxes of musical alterity. This holds true across genres and contexts. Native peoples and Europea…
It's Not About the Cut
In 2009, the opera singer Cecilia Bartoli released the album Sacrificium , a sleek collection of music that castrati sang in the eighteenth century. Castrati-adult men castrated before puberty in order to retain their high soprano voices-had extraordinary breath control, a pure tone, and an unusually flexible vocal instrument. In promotional materials, Bartoli characterized Sacrificium as "a work dedicated to 'castratos' and the music that their …
The Courtesan’s Arts
Courtesans, hetaeras, tawaif-s, ji-s--these women have exchanged artistic graces, elevated conversation, and sexual favors with male patrons throughout history and around the world. Of a different world than common prostitutes, courtesans deal in artistic and intellectual pleasures in ways that are wholly interdependent with their commerce in sex. In pre-colonial India, courtesans cultivated a wide variety of artistic skills, including magic, mus…

The Borders of the Self
Three surveys of American undergraduate students explore a central aspect of the concept of "physical self:" the vulnerability or sensitivity of different parts of the body surface, especially apertures, to intrusion and contamination. The basic measure used was rated displeasure at imagined contact of various body parts of the subject with plain neutral objects (e.g., a Q-tip or a poker chip) or with that same object after imagined contact with …
