Archaeomusicological efforts to reconstruct tonal sequences, musical genres, and musical experiences of the pre-contact Andes face great challenges given a lack of written musical notation. We suggest that a sociomusicological approach focusing on the “social organization of resources, makers, and occasions of musical performance” (Feld 1984: 383) offers an alternative analytic more amenable to standard archaeological reconstruction. This emphasis on production, organization, and shared social space also sheds light on the historicity of performance, its social context, and its political implications. In fact, musical performances in many contemporary Andean communities express cosmological principles that underpin authority and enact principles of political organization in charged ritual settings. The highly spatialized and kinesthetic nature of these performances function as key elements, mapping performance spaces onto cosmopolitical landscapes. We seek neither to project this model into the past nor to identify its origins. However, we argue that a sociomusicological approach attuned to social space allows us to identify similar elements of musical performances in the Andean past while exploring the role of musical performance across broader sociopolitical contexts. Without reducing music to its politics or explaining political organization through music, we suggest that studying both together offers important insights.

世界政治表演:在接触前的安第斯山脉通过空间音乐制定权威和秩序世界

由于缺乏书面音乐符号,重建前接触安第斯山脉的音调序列、音乐流派和音乐体验的考古音乐学工作面临着巨大挑战。我们建议关注“资源、制作者和音乐表演场合的社会组织”(Feld 1984:383)的社会音乐学方法提供了一种更适合标准考古重建的替代分析。这种对生产、组织和共享社会空间的强调也揭示了表演的历史性、社会背景和政治含义。事实上,许多当代安第斯社区的音乐表演表达了支撑权威的宇宙学原则,并在充满活力的仪式环境中制定了政治组织原则。这些表演的高度空间化和动觉本质是关键元素,将表演空间映射到世界政治景观上。我们既不寻求将这个模型投射到过去,也不寻求确定它的起源。然而,我们认为,与社会空间相协调的社会音乐学方法使我们能够识别安第斯山脉过去音乐表演的相似元素,同时探索音乐表演在更广泛的社会政治背景下的作用。在不将音乐简化为政治或通过音乐解释政治组织的情况下,我们建议将两者一起研究提供重要的见解。我们认为,与社会空间相协调的社会音乐学方法使我们能够识别安第斯山脉过去音乐表演的相似元素,同时探索音乐表演在更广泛的社会政治背景下的作用。在不将音乐简化为政治或通过音乐解释政治组织的情况下,我们建议将两者一起研究提供重要的见解。我们认为,与社会空间相协调的社会音乐学方法使我们能够识别安第斯山脉过去音乐表演的相似元素,同时探索音乐表演在更广泛的社会政治背景下的作用。在不将音乐简化为政治或通过音乐解释政治组织的情况下,我们建议将两者一起研究提供重要的见解。
