Rap, Metal, Punk Rock, and the other children of Rock and Roll are a global phenomena, and can serve as a site wherein hegemonic ideological culture is contested and resisted. These musical vocabularies manage to noisily articulate the voice of otherwise silent resistance by cultivating a peculiar and often paradoxical relationship with violence. This course will take Tristan Garcia's dialectic of "electric adolescence" as a point of departure for analysis of the relationship between music, violence, and social critique in Latin America.
