摘要

摘要本文介绍了英国一家唱片公司最近为授权和混音Hugh Tracey在马拉维收集的现场录音所做的努力。特别是,我认为,该倡议的慈善目的应该与欺骗马拉维和马拉维人的音乐制作和营销做法相权衡。根据马拉维和南非的实地调查、采访和话语分析,我想知道该项目如何描述它所使用的原始材料以及它试图提高的文化意识。我关注的因素包括:特蕾西及其档案的特点、音乐制作过程、专辑发行时的战略宣传,以及该项目在当代马拉维的慈善和音乐影响。总之,这篇文章阐述并倡导对全球南方带有音乐色彩的人道主义项目采取批判性的方法。

Pop goes the postcolony: Britain remixes Hugh Tracey’s Malawi
ABSTRACT This article considers the recent efforts of a Britain-based record label to license and remix field recordings collected in Malawi by Hugh Tracey. In particular, I argue that the initiative’s charitable ends should be weighed against musical production and marketing practices that shortchange Malawi and Malawians. Drawing on fieldwork, interviews, and discourse analysis in Malawi and South Africa, I ask how the project portrays the source materials it utilises and the uptick in cultural awareness it seeks to engender. Factors I focus on include: characterisations of Tracey and his archive, the musical production process, strategic publicity that accompanied the album’s release, and the project’s charitable and musical impacts in contemporary Malawi. Altogether, the article articulates and advocates for a critical approach to musically tinged humanitarian projects in the global South.

期刊介绍: Articles often emphasise first-hand, sustained engagement with people as music makers, taking the form of ethnographic writing following one or more periods of fieldwork. Typically, ethnographies aim for a broad assessment of the processes and contexts through and within which music is imagined, discussed and made. Ethnography may be synthesised with a variety of analytical, historical and other methodologies, often entering into dialogue with other disciplinary areas such as music psychology, music education, historical musicology, performance studies, critical theory, dance, folklore and linguistics. The field is therefore characterised by its breadth in theory and method, its interdisciplinary nature and its global perspective.
