Ethnomusicology and the unwritten rules of the democratic game
an essay on music research as a counter-narrative
Keywords:
Research in Music, Ethnomusicology, DemocracyAbstract
This paper discusses some relationships between music, research in ethnomusicology and the context of informal relationships in our political reality, considering our investigative practices as possibilities to question existing discourses and to present alternative narratives in the democratic context. Based on bibliographic research, fundamentally in the fields of ethnomusicology, anthropology and political science, the analytical direction is developed in the perspective that our investigative endeavors may have generated part of a communicative arena based on the construction of important polarizations for an economy of opinions characteristic of contemporary political relations. Thus, the existence of narratives that build and reflect conflicts in this context stands out in order to try to understand how music and research in ethnomusicology are inserted and may be acting in this context.
