ABSTRACT

Drawing upon Goffman’s notion of the interaction order we propose that home and homeliness pertain to the degree to which we can control our auditory involvements with the world and with others. What we term “homely listening” concerns the use of music to make oneself feel at home, in some cases, through seclusion and immersion, and, in others, through either the musical ordering of mundane routines or the use of music to engage in sociality with others. Drawing on 29 in-depth qualitative interviews concerning mundane instances of musical listening, we propose the home is a complex sonic order involving territoriality as well as the aesthetic framing of activity through musical and non-musical sounds. We argue the home represents a negotiated sonic interaction order where individuals skilfully manage involvements with others and activities through their musical and other sound practices.

摘要

借鉴高夫曼的互动顺序概念，我们建议家庭和居家状况与我们在何种程度上可以控制我们与世界以及与他人的听觉参与有关。我们所说的“居家聆听”是指在某些情况下，通过隐居和沉浸，使用音乐使自己有宾至如归的感觉，在另一些情况下，则是通过平凡的例行音乐秩序或通过音乐参与社交来使自己有宾至如归的感觉。和其他人。我们通过对29个有关音乐听觉世俗实例的深入定性访谈得出结论，我们认为该房屋是一个复杂的声音秩序，涉及地域性以及通过音乐和非音乐声音进行的活动的审美框架。
