Abstract

This article explores community-based rock music education as a site for strengthening social cohesion in a context of postwar, interethnic divisions. Focusing on small and incremental changes, it examines the practices of Music Connects, a project in the Western Balkans, and its goals of revitalizing rock culture in support of a more inclusive social life and greater freedom of movement in the region. The article explores the ways that an organizational and participant focus on aesthetic practices and artistic goals can still contribute to social goals. It highlights three key tasks connected to rock music education and revitalization, captured in the novel conceptual constructs of rehearsal space, the incubator, and the expansion of normal. Drawing upon qualitative data gathered in 2019 and 2021 from 40 participants, the article tells a story of small social changes through music-making that added up to significant developments in the region, musically and socially.
在西巴尔干地区通过摇滚乐建立社会联系和包容:促进微小变化的艺术
本文探讨了在战后种族分裂的背景下,以社区为基础的摇滚音乐教育作为加强社会凝聚力的场所。文章以微小和渐进的变化为重点,研究了西巴尔干地区的一个项目--"音乐连接"(Music Connects)的实践及其振兴摇滚文化的目标,以支持该地区更具包容性的社会生活和更大的行动自由。文章探讨了组织和参与者对审美实践和艺术目标的关注如何仍能促进社会目标的实现。文章强调了与摇滚音乐教育和振兴相关的三项关键任务,这些任务体现在排练空间、孵化器和正常扩展等新颖的概念构建中。文章利用在 2019 年和 2021 年从 40 位参与者那里收集到的定性数据,讲述了一个通过音乐创作实现微小社会变革的故事,这些变革在该地区的音乐和社会方面都取得了重大发展。
