Abstract

This essay offers a sympathetic Marxist commentary on Stephen Lett’s “Making a Home of The Society for Music Theory, Inc.” (2023, forthcoming). I explore questions of colonization and coloniality, which are viewed in literal, rather than metaphorical, terms; provide hypotheses about the political economy of contemporary US-American academic music theory, which seems to be inseparable from conflicts with composition; and meditate on theory’s political futures in both practical and broader utopian-political ways.

废奴主义音乐理论与马克思主义:走向和解的音符

本文对Stephen Lett的《为股份有限公司音乐理论学会建造家园》（2023年，即将出版）发表了一篇富有同情心的马克思主义评论。我探讨了殖民化和殖民主义的问题，这些问题是从字面而非隐喻的角度来看待的；提供了关于当代美国学术音乐理论政治经济学的假设，这似乎与作曲的冲突密不可分；并以实践和更广泛的乌托邦政治方式思考理论的政治未来。
