摘要

在本文中,我展示了普遍接受的表演实践形式和通常理想化的表演人物的表演如何揭示了芬兰古典音乐文化中盛行的性别和种族化的想象。本文的研究材料是通过对14位年龄在25至45岁之间的芬兰古典钢琴家、小提琴家、中提琴家和大提琴家的白人独联体女性进行专题深入采访收集而成的。我的问题是,在广受赞誉的表演者和传统上被接受的音乐作品表演方式所保持的表演理想中,性别化和种族化的结构是如何传达的。此外,我想知道性别和种族化的结构如何与理想化的表演者和表演理想相关联,交织在一起,并影响芬兰女性音乐家的具体体验。我认为,那些被广泛视为典型的表演者,他们在维持古典音乐的压迫现状方面发挥着至关重要的作用,他们通过表演以欧洲为中心的、性别化的、种族化的社会想象,来重申和维持理想化的美学。这些社会想象在一定程度上塑造了音乐家的体现主体性,影响了他们的自尊,以及他们对性别和种族化身体的理解,以及他们的社会价值。

“A Man Is Practically the General Norm” – A Case Study of Gender Inequality and Whiteness in the Classical Music Scene in Finland
ABSTRACT In this article I show how generally accepted forms of performance practice and performances by generally idealized performance figures reveal gendered and racialized imaginaries that prevail in the Finnish classical music culture. The research material for this article was gathered through thematic in-depth interviews with fourteen white cis women professional Finnish classical pianists, violinists, violists, and cellists between the ages of 25 and 45. I ask how gendered and racialized constructions are conveyed in performance ideals maintained by widely acclaimed performers and traditionally accepted ways of performing musical works. Further, I ask how gendered and racialized constructions associated with idealized performers and performance ideals shape, intertwine in, and influence the embodied experience of Finnish women musicians. I argue that the performers that are widely seen as quintessential form a canon of performers, that have a crucial role in maintaining the oppressive status quo of classical music by reaffirming and maintaining the idealized aesthetics through the very fleshy act of performing Eurocentric, gendered and racialized social imaginaries. These social imaginaries partly shape musicians’ embodied subjectivity and affect their self-esteem as well as their understanding of gendered and racialized bodies, and their social value.
