ABSTRACT

During an investigation into learning in professional orchestral performance, space and place was observed to be important to the musicians’ development of orchestral practices. Emplacement is advanced here as a useful concept to explain this spatial aspect of orchestral performance knowledge. Originating in sensory ethnographic research, emplacement refers to the process of construing cultural and embodied knowledges within socially negotiated and co-constituted places, such as an orchestral environment. From this perspective, place is a way of constructing understandings of environments that are contingent on individuals’ physical locations, movement patterns, and responses to the affordances of their environment. The participant musicians’ performance knowledge was found to be emplaced in and around the physical spaces of their specific musical and social environments. Thus, emplacement is put forward as a broadly-based cognitive process that connects bodily perception, environment, and learning by accounting for how individual musicians change their knowledge as they act together.

摘要

在对专业管弦乐队表演学习的调查中，发现空间和地点对音乐家发展管弦乐队的实践很重要。进阶在这里是一个有用的概念，可以用来解释管弦乐队演奏知识的空间方面。起源于感觉民族学研究，安置是指在社会谈判和共同构成的地方（例如管弦乐队环境）中解释文化和具体知识的过程。从这个角度来看，场所是一种构建对环境的理解的方法，该理解取决于个人的地理位置，运动方式以及对环境承受能力的响应。发现参与者的音乐家的表演知识被放置在他们特定的音乐和社交环境的物理空间中和周围。因此，安置被认为是一个广泛的认知过程，通过考虑个体音乐家在共同行动时如何改变其知识，将身体的知觉，环境和学习联系起来。
