"I am not throwing away my shot": The Histories, Politics, and Aesthetics of the Musical Hamilton (2015)
Sebastian Jobs, Martin Lüthe
Comments
The object of this seminar is to critically engage with the musical/musical film Hamilton composed (and realized) by Lin-Manuel Miranda to wide critical acclaim and general success. We will utilize the musical to inspire discussions and analyses of the history of the Early American Republic as well as discussions pertaining to the cultural work and the overall aesthetics of the musical (film) for our day and age. Hamilton can arguably be regarded as a cornerstone and reference point in the general re-vitalization of the musical as a quintessential American genre, but has also contributed to the debates regarding the status of the Early American Republic within U.S. public history. close
