Abstract

Abstract:

Surreptitiously collected field recordings of cantors at the pulpit, made in disregard for the rules of synagogue comportment, circulated for decades among a small group of collectors in an underground economy of homemade dubbed cassettes. These secret recordings, referred to as “live davenings,” usurp the characteristic ephemerality of prayer to document a twentieth century aesthetic concept of cantorial music as an art form beyond its ritual function. In the past decade, many of these recordings have surfaced on YouTube and file sharing sites, reaching an expanded audience and exposing a new generation to a largely abandoned style of liturgical performance. Through ethnography with field recording makers, internet-savvy collectors, and the artists who use the secrets in the live davening archive to build projects of cantorial revival, this article offers an examination of a body of archival material that has not previously been the topic of any scholarly investigation.

现场达沃斯:仪式学习技术与犹太圣乐地下聚会
摘要:无视犹太教堂的礼仪规定,秘密收集的唱诗班成员在讲坛上的现场录音在一小撮收藏家中间流传了几十年,形成了自制配音磁带的地下经济。这些被称为 "现场祷告 "的秘密录音篡改了祷告特有的短暂性,记录了二十世纪的美学概念,即唱诗班音乐是一种超越仪式功能的艺术形式。在过去的十年中,许多此类录音出现在 YouTube 和文件共享网站上,扩大了受众范围,并使新一代人接触到这种在很大程度上被遗弃的礼仪表演方式。通过对现场录音制作者、精通互联网的收藏者以及利用现场进堂档案中的秘密建立唱诗班复兴项目的艺术家进行人种学研究,本文对以前从未作为任何学术调查主题的档案材料进行了研究。

期刊介绍: Jewish Social Studies recognizes the increasingly fluid methodological and disciplinary boundaries within the humanities and is particularly interested both in exploring different approaches to Jewish history and in critical inquiry into the concepts and theoretical stances that underpin its problematics. It publishes specific case studies, engages in theoretical discussion, and advances the understanding of Jewish life as well as the multifaceted narratives that constitute its historiography.
