Abstract

In this paper I offer critical attention to the notion of atmosphere in relation to music. By exploring the concept through the case study of the Closed Brethren worship services, I argue that atmosphere may provide analytical tools to explore the ineffable in ecclesial practices. Music, just as atmosphere, commonly occupies a realm of ineffability and undermines notions such as inside and outside, subject and object. For this reason I present music as a means of knowing the atmosphere. The first part of this paper points to the limits of an understanding of atmosphere as a constellation of things, as proposed by Gernot Bohme. In contrast to this, Hermann Schmitz conceptualises atmosphere as half-thing which suggests movement. Drawing on this, I propose to methodologically approach atmospheres as movements. Consequently, in the second part of this paper I closely analyse two motions as they cohere in Closed Brethren worship services: first, becoming (Deleuze and Guattari), a movement on the level of the individual worshiper; secondly, territorialisation (Deleuze and Guattari), a movement of the atmosphere towards its solidification. Here music as atmosphere is not a system of moral signification but a generative power affording intimate processes of divine encounter, whilst producing affective denominational difference.
音乐作为气氛。在集会崇拜中形成的路线
在这篇论文中,我对气氛的概念与音乐的关系给予了批判性的关注。通过对封闭弟兄崇拜崇拜的案例研究,我认为气氛可以提供分析工具来探索教会实践中不可言喻的事物。音乐和气氛一样,通常占据着一个不可言说的领域,破坏着内在与外在、主体与客体等概念。因此,我把音乐作为一种了解气氛的手段。本文的第一部分指出了Gernot Bohme提出的将大气理解为事物星座的局限性。与此相反,Hermann Schmitz将大气概念化为暗示运动的半物。在此基础上,我建议从方法论上把大气当作运动来看待。因此,在本文的第二部分,我仔细分析了两种运动,因为它们在封闭的弟兄崇拜服务中是一致的:首先,成为(德勒兹和瓜塔里),一个在个人崇拜水平上的运动;其次,领土化(德勒兹和瓜塔里),是一种朝向凝固的气氛运动。在这里,音乐作为一种氛围,不是一种道德意义的体系,而是一种生成力,提供了神圣相遇的亲密过程,同时产生了情感上的宗派差异。
