Ethnomusicology边界：无害的苦工及害苦的人们

Boundary of Ethnomusicology: Love's Labor and Labored Scholars

Ethnomusicology边界问题引发了定义的多样性,何以勘测学科边界、以何方法研究学科构成了独立存在的价值标志,是考量学科成熟的必要条件。Ethnomusicology对于中国音乐学界来说,不仅有"民族音乐学"与"音乐人类学"等称谓之辩,更重要的是还有学科归属与合法性的疑虑。音乐学界的排斥和人类学界的忽略是Ethnomusicology在中国遭遇的黑色风景线,聚焦于音乐本体如何在研究中的运用体现。

The issue of the boundary of ethnomusicology results in its diverse definitions. How to demarcate its boundary and how to study it constitute the value mark of the subject's independence,and is also the requisite conditions for examining the degree of its maturity. For Chinese musicology, the names of ethnomusicology and anthropology of music exist side by side,but the uncertainty of its attribution and legitimization is more important to be considered.
