Critical World is a virtual research laboratory that explores the relationship between globalization and music. As a web-based experiment in project-oriented teaching and research, Critical World provides resources for critical engagement with the products of global culture and creates a space for debate about the role of globalization in our everyday lives.
Critical World includes the participation of professors, researchers, students and artists from various cultural backgrounds and disciplinary perspectives. What brings them together in this forum is a common concern about the history and consequences of globalization and a common interest in music’s potential to reveal something about the worlds in which we live.
Critical World is based in the Department of Anthropology at the Université de Montréal, under the supervision of Professor Bob W. White. Critical World has been online since September 2004 and received funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC).
