Abstract

The term method is widespread, both in academic contexts and in different musical areas, institutional or otherwise. However, most of the time, this term expresses different, even opposite meanings. In this article I try to reflect on these different meanings, establishing some criteria and parameters that I consider relevant, especially for research that has music as an object of analysis. Beyond proposing a specific method for music research, my goal is to clarify what it means to act based on method. Hence, I examine the existing relationships between knowledge, action and performance, in the construction of a pathway that involves practice, movement, and process, as powerful methodological resources. In the case of the ethnographic method, perhaps the most appropriate way to reflect on this subject –especially when we understand it as practice– is to let it reveal itself through a description, a report. Thus, throughout the article, I report some of my experiences as a musician-researcher, in search of this participatory-observer pathway.
参与、观察、调查:方法是一个过程
无论是在学术背景还是在不同的音乐领域、机构或其他领域,“方法”这个词都很普遍。然而,大多数时候,这个词表达了不同的,甚至相反的意思。在本文中,我试图反思这些不同的含义,建立一些我认为相关的标准和参数,特别是对于以音乐为分析对象的研究。除了提出一种具体的音乐研究方法之外,我的目标是澄清什么是基于方法的行动。因此,我考察了知识、行动和表现之间的现有关系,在构建一个涉及实践、运动和过程的途径中,作为强大的方法论资源。在民族志方法的情况下,也许最合适的方式来反映这个问题-特别是当我们把它理解为实践-是让它通过描述,一份报告来揭示自己。因此,在整篇文章中,我报告了我作为一个音乐家研究者的一些经历,以寻找这种参与-观察者的途径。
