项目摘要

Historical sound recording archives are places of knowledge. This knowledge is simultaneously constructed through and part of the materiality of the sound objects that contain them, and it resides in the order of knowledge that they produce and represent as well as in the institutions that they both stand for and are a part of. Considering and building on recent developments in critical archival theory, this project argues that the relevance of sound archives for and their potential influence on contemporary musical practices and discourses are not only achieved through the historical narrative that they afford, but are also attained through their distinctive aesthetic.This distinctive aesthetic is here understood as those effects that make the material"s articulation, prefiguration, and manifestation of a hierarchical order of knowledge sense-able. Making orders of knowledge perceptible in this way does not happen through singular archival material. Rather, such ordering happens through archival structuring, which gives archives a specific form that can, in turn, become semantically and symbolically charged. Simultaneously, the archive labels and categorizes itself and builds itself as a structure so that a self-referential, inner-archival structure emerges. This results in an archive-specific mode of transmission that, like other aesthetic forms, has affective potential. This distinctive archival aesthetic and its far-reaching analytical potential for musicology at large are the focus of the proposed research project. Concretely, this entails the systematic analysis of various archives containing North Indian raga music. The van Lamsweerde collection, stored at the Musicological Department at the Georg August University Göttingen, is the project"s core analytical material. At the end of the project, a highly academically relevant collection will be accessible for future research. On a theoretical level, this transdisciplinary, pioneering research project examines the exceptional and exceptionally powerful specifics of sound archives as locations of knowledge.

历史录音档案是知识的场所，这种知识同时是通过包含它们的声音对象的物质性而构建的，它存在于它们产生和代表的知识秩序中，也存在于它们所构成的机构中。考虑到批判档案理论的最新发展并以此为基础，该项目认为，声音档案的相关性及其对当代音乐实践和话语的潜在影响不仅是通过它们提供的历史叙事来实现的。，但也通过其独特性获得审美。这种独特的审美在这里被理解为那些使材料的清晰度、预示和知识层次秩序的表现变得可感知的效果。以这种方式使知识秩序变得可感知并不是通过单一的档案材料发生的。相反，这种排序是通过档案结构来实现的，档案结构赋予档案一种特定的形式，而这种形式又可以在语义上和象征上同时进行，档案对自身进行标签和分类，并将其自身构建为一种结构，从而实现自我参照、这导致了一种特定于档案的传播模式，与其他美学形式一样，这种独特的档案美学及其对整个音乐学的深远分析潜力是本研究项目的重点。具体来说，这需要对包含北印度拉格音乐的各种档案进行系统分析，保存在哥廷根格奥尔格·奥古斯特大学音乐学系的 van Lamsweerde 收藏是该项目的核心分析材料。该项目将提供一个与学术高度相关的收藏，以供未来的研究使用。在理论层面上，这个跨学科、开创性的研究项目研究了声音档案作为知识所在地的特殊和异常强大的细节。
