音响档案本体论

Ontology of Audio Archives

留声机的出现使得比较音乐学收集研究对象的“客观性”成为可能,录音技术赋予声音新的物质性,使得“异国情调的旋律”转变为“有形的产品”,将音乐转变和储存为可以多种方式传播的信息。伴随着技术的发展,人们对历史音响的解读也将不同,这也为录音本身提出了根本的问题——它既可超越【声音-听觉】短暂的感官印象,又是脱离即时即地瞬时诞生的音响制品,即其本体存在。从围绕音像档案的人类实践经验,去察觉不同的“人-事-物”之关系,进而讨论在不同实践中所涉及到的本体论建构和阐述方式;换句话说,音响档案之本体存在并非抽象范畴的结果,它只能在个体的、地方的、机构的档案实践过程中才有其敞开的可能。

This paper examines the relationships between humans, events and objects contextualized by the experiences of human praxis surrounding audio archives, discusses the ontological constructs and narratives involved. It shows that the ontological existence of audio archive is not the results of abstract movements, and their meanings only unfold in the archiving practices of individual, local and organization agents.
