DESCRIPTION:The Doctoral Colloquium is open to all.\n\nDoctoral Colloquium:
  Rachel Hottle\, PhD Candidate in Music Theory\, ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ University\n\n\nTi
 tle: The Embodied Folk Guitar of Elizabeth Cotten\n\nAbstract: Left-handed
  blues and folk guitarist Elizabeth Cotten played a right-handed guitar up
 side down\, picking with her dominant hand and fretting with her non-domin
 ant hand. Cotten’s unique style of playing emerged from the reversed relat
 ionship between her hands and the order of the strings on the guitar\, whi
 ch required her to reconfigure both the chord fingerings and the strumming
  and picking patterns she used. My project demonstrates specific ways that
  Cotten’s music-making involves active negotiations between her physical c
 apabilities and limitations\, as well as more abstract musical concerns su
 ch as rhythm\, melody\, and phrasing. By focusing on the embodied experien
 ce of composing with an instrument\, this project contributes to the growi
 ng corpus of analytic work that emphasizes music as a dynamic\, living cul
 tural performance.\n\n\nBio: Rachel Hottle is a PhD candidate in Music The
 ory with a graduate concentration in Gender and Women’s Studies. Her disse
 rtation explores the impact of embodied guitar technique on musical struct
 ure in the music of Elizabeth Cotten and Joni Mitchell. She has presented 
 her work at the annual meetings of the American Musicological Society and 
 the Society for Music Theory\, as well as several regional chapters of the
 se societies.\n
