Abstract

ABSTRACT In this article, we argue that ethnomusicology holds valuable epistemic insights for considering how to measure and evaluate research for academics, as well as for research policy and management professionals. We focus on two notable instances of standardised national research assessment frameworks: the UK’s Research Excellence Framework (REF), and Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) and identify the advantages of practice as research models for music research by considering the benefits of ethnomusicology’s reflexive and relativist methodologies to formal research assessment processes. To support our argument, we refer to published case studies of ethnomusicological research that reach beyond Western practice and thought to highlight the advantages recognising practice as research as a more inclusive modality of original knowledge production. We call upon ethnomusicologists to pro-actively engage with the formal processes of research assessment to make them more equitable and representative of our discipline’s broad commitment to decolonising academic practice.
民族音乐学研究中音乐实践的价值与评价及其对研究评估的启示
在本文中,我们认为民族音乐学为学术界、研究政策和管理专业人士考虑如何衡量和评估研究提供了宝贵的认知见解。我们专注于标准化国家研究评估框架的两个值得注意的例子:英国的卓越研究框架(REF)和澳大利亚的卓越研究(ERA),并通过考虑民族音乐学的反思性和相对主义方法对正式研究评估过程的好处,确定实践作为音乐研究研究模型的优势。为了支持我们的论点,我们参考了已发表的民族音乐学研究案例研究,这些研究超越了西方实践,并强调了将实践作为研究作为一种更具包容性的原始知识生产方式的优势。我们呼吁民族音乐学家积极参与正式的研究评估过程,使其更加公平,并代表我们学科对非殖民化学术实践的广泛承诺。

期刊介绍: Articles often emphasise first-hand, sustained engagement with people as music makers, taking the form of ethnographic writing following one or more periods of fieldwork. Typically, ethnographies aim for a broad assessment of the processes and contexts through and within which music is imagined, discussed and made. Ethnography may be synthesised with a variety of analytical, historical and other methodologies, often entering into dialogue with other disciplinary areas such as music psychology, music education, historical musicology, performance studies, critical theory, dance, folklore and linguistics. The field is therefore characterised by its breadth in theory and method, its interdisciplinary nature and its global perspective.
