ABSTRACT

Across the globe, many countries are at a nexus of multiple crises. The COVID-19 pandemic, structural racism, the climate crisis, and a severe economic downturn have all converged. These crises have wreaked havoc on minoritized communities in particular. This moment requires imagination to write a different future – to not return to the status quo. Imagination becomes crucial for fathoming a different world. Musicking – the different ways of making music that include listening, performing, creating, and beyond – may allow us to engage in such imagining. Musicking offers a vehicle for dreaming and provides a vision for the future. In this paper, I explore movements in education that inform this political moment including critical reconstructionism, abolitionism, and critical pedagogy from the perspectives of people who theorise these movements. Subsequently I consider the role the arts might play in imagining. I engage in particular the work of Bettina Love and Maxine Greene. Ultimately, I examine potential ways that different facets of musicking, including listening, performing, and creating may enable children and youth to engage in what I call the dual roles of imagination.

摘要

在全球范围内，许多国家都处在多重危机之间。COVID-19大流行，结构性种族主义，气候危机和严重的经济衰退都已经融合在一起。这些危机尤其对少数族裔社区造成了严重破坏。这一刻需要想象力来书写一个不同的未来-不回到现状。想象力对于探寻另一个世界至关重要。音乐之王–包括听，表演，创作及超越音乐的不同制作方法–可以使我们参与到这样的想象中。音乐之王提供了做梦的工具，并提供了对未来的愿景。在本文中，我从理论化运动的人们的角度探讨了教育运动，这些运动为这一政治时刻提供了信息，包括批判重建主义，废奴主义和批判教育学。随后，我考虑了艺术在想象中可能扮演的角色。我特别从事Bettina Love和Maxine Greene的工作。归根结底，我研究了音乐创作不同方面（包括聆听，表演和创作）可能使儿童和青少年参与我所谓的想象力双重角色的潜在方式。
