ABSTRACT This article analyses field research on tambura chordophone traditions among Croatian-, Serbian-, and Romani-Americans to consider diverse performers’ strategies of musical (in)sincerity. These strategies mobilise affective investments of musical labour alongside more directly conscious discursive constructions of ‘Slavs’ and ‘Gypsies’. Developing theories of intensity that distinguish affects from emotions via their gradations, it argues for the importance of null affect (a theoretical absolute zero), examining how musical jokes block affect before musicians draw into the proximities of racially Othered embodiments. In doing so, it demonstrates that musical affect is just as important in its negation and social regulation as in its abundance. The article proposes a synthesis of discourse-analytical and embodied-participatory methods that calls into question affect’s theorised ‘autonomy’ from referentiality. Analysing diverse tambura musicians’ limited capacities and desires to embody one another’s subjectivities musically (and to become them racially), it examines musical affect as a cultural resource, rather than essence, that like discourse is subject to blocking – to constraint and strategy – as much as to excess and abandon. Ethnographic attention to those affected more flatly by music as well as those whom it affects intensely thus illuminates the reciprocal impingements of discourses and feelings of Otherness.

情感障碍和罗姆人真诚的音乐种族化

摘要 本文分析了克罗地亚、塞尔维亚和罗姆裔美国人对坦布拉和弦传统的实地研究,以考虑不同表演者的音乐(不)真诚策略。这些策略与“斯拉夫人”和“吉普赛人”的更直接有意识的话语建构一起动员了音乐劳动的情感投资。开发强度理论,通过它们的等级区分情感和情感,它论证了无效情感(理论上的绝对零)的重要性,研究了音乐笑话如何在音乐家接近种族异化体现之前阻止情感。通过这样做,它表明音乐情感在其否定和社会调节方面与在其丰富性方面同样重要。这篇文章提出了一种综合的话语分析和具身参与的方法,从参照性对情感的理论化“自主性”提出质疑。分析不同的坦布拉音乐家在音乐上体现彼此主观性(并在种族上成为他们)的有限能力和愿望,它将音乐影响视为一种文化资源,而不是本质,就像话语一样受到阻碍——约束和策略——作为甚至过度和放弃。人种学关注那些受音乐影响更平缓的人以及那些受音乐强烈影响的人,从而阐明了话语和他者感受的相互影响。分析不同的坦布拉音乐家在音乐上体现彼此主观性(并在种族上成为他们)的有限能力和愿望,它将音乐影响视为一种文化资源,而不是本质,就像话语一样受到阻碍——约束和策略——作为甚至过度和放弃。人种学对那些受音乐影响更平缓的人以及那些受音乐强烈影响的人的关注,从而阐明了话语和他者感受的相互影响。分析不同的坦布拉音乐家在音乐上体现彼此主观性(并在种族上成为他们)的有限能力和愿望,它将音乐影响视为一种文化资源,而不是本质,就像话语一样受到阻碍——约束和策略——作为甚至过度和放弃。人种学关注那些受音乐影响更平缓的人以及那些受音乐强烈影响的人,从而阐明了话语和他者感受的相互影响。
