摘要

本文的目的是描述并举例说明一个理论视角来分析音乐作为话语批评研究中的象征行为。我们以澳大利亚、英国和美国的立法机构对音乐的部署为例，为一种批判性的、非符号学的观点奠定基础，这种观点认为音乐是一种物质和文化力量的完形复合体，它使人们倾向于或远离特定的行为和态度。在提出我们的观点时，我们批评了一些在话语研究和其他地方常见的关于音乐的符号学断言。我们的案例借鉴了新闻报道和学术讨论，这些报道和讨论将音乐用作战争中的酷刑手段，以及通过将年轻人和无家可归的人拒之门外来净化城市公共空间的手段。

Music as symbolic action

The aim of this paper is to describe and exemplify a theoretical perspective for the analysis of music as symbolic action in critical studies of discourse. We use deployments of music by legislatures in Australia, the UK, and the USA as exemplar cases to develop foundations for a critical, non-semiotic perspective that sees music work as gestalt complexes of physical and cultural forces that move people towards or away from specific actions and attitudes. In presenting our perspective we critique some semiotic assertions about music that are commonplaces in discourse studies and elsewhere. Our cases draw on news reports and scholarly discourse about the use of music as a means of torture in warfare and as a means of purifying urban public spaces by keeping youth and homeless people out of them at night.

期刊介绍： Discourse & Society is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journal whose major aim is to publish outstanding research at the boundaries of discourse analysis and the social sciences. It focuses on explicit theory formation and analysis of the relationships between the structures of text, talk, language use, verbal interaction or communication, on the one hand, and societal, political or cultural micro- and macrostructures and cognitive social representations, on the other hand. That is, D&S studies society through discourse and discourse through an analysis of its socio-political and cultural functions or implications. Its contributions are based on advanced theory formation and methodologies of several disciplines in the humanities and social sciences.
