Abstract

This article explores how music professionals promote interdiscursive oppositions between musical aurality and musical literacy to unsettle the terms of their racialization. For many French Manouches (a subgroup of Romanies/“Gypsies”), music is a source of pride, profit, and public recognition. Manouche musicians often valorize their own sensorially centered pedagogical approaches in distinction to music literacy as espoused by French schools and conservatories. In doing so, they link notions of expressivity, naturalness, and ethical behavior to their Manouche identity in contrast to White French society. They construct parallel contrasts between Black and White musicalities in the jazz world to convey their value as racialized musicians, pointing to transnational formations of race and White supremacy. Because French color-blind policy constrains speech about race and racism, advocacy for an aurally centered approach to music pedagogy becomes a way for speakers to denounce the discrimination Manouches face as racialized subjects. For these musicians, self-exoticization is a multifaceted tactic to develop a market niche, to prove themselves as good neoliberal subjects, and to disrupt the racial logics that render such alterity both an asset and a burden. Their discourse remains powerful even if, in practice, some make use of the very music-theoretical frameworks they critique.

学习的感觉:法国的种族、听觉和马努什音乐教学的意识形态
本文探讨了音乐专业人士如何促进音乐听觉和音乐素养之间的话语间对立,以扰乱其种族化的条款。对许多法国马努什人(吉普赛人的一个分支)来说,音乐是骄傲、利润和公众认可的源泉。马努什音乐家经常强调他们自己以感官为中心的教学方法,而不是法国学校和音乐学院所支持的音乐素养。在这样做的过程中,他们将表现力、自然性和道德行为的概念与他们的马努什身份联系起来,与法国白人社会形成鲜明对比。他们在爵士乐世界中构建了黑人和白人音乐性的平行对比,以传达他们作为种族化音乐家的价值,指出种族和白人至上主义的跨国形成。由于法国的种族歧视政策限制了有关种族和种族主义的言论,倡导以听觉为中心的音乐教学方法成为演讲者谴责马努什作为种族化主体所面临的歧视的一种方式。对这些音乐家来说,自我异国化是一种多层面的策略,可以开发市场利基,证明自己是优秀的新自由主义主体,并打破使这种另类既成为资产又成为负担的种族逻辑。即使在实践中,他们中的一些人利用了他们所批评的音乐理论框架,他们的话语仍然强大。
