10호 기념 논문 : 음악문화연구자가 갖춰야 할 두 가지 필수품성: 자성(Reflexive Study)과 대화(Dialogic Method) = Two Necessary Attributes for World Music Researchers: Reflexive Study and Dialogic Method

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

World music research has gone through enormous changes since the 1980s as a result of a new breed of musicologists entering the field of ethnomusicdogy. These new scholars, having acquired training not only in music but in the fields of humanities and social sciences, have promoted dialogue and academic exchange among scholars in various fields. Ethnomusicology at the present time appears to be in a perpetual state of active experimentation and gains strength from a diversity and plurality of varied approaches (Cooley 1997: 3). In this sense, world music researchers are now in a unique position to question the validity of established methods and goals of social sciences, and to explore new perspectives. In this paper I discuss the recent (since the 1980s) changes in the approach and methodology of ethnomusicology. My analysis will focus on topics, scopes, and diverse methods that provide the new perspectives in the field. Two approaches, `Reflexive Study` and `Dialogic Method,` in particular, are introduced as indispensible tools for the understanding of the current musicscape and scholarship in South Korea. Finally, a role of ethnomusicologists as cultural insiders is identified in the musicscape of South Korea that is predominated by Western art music.
