Abstract

In the Soviet Union, logics of evolutionism undergirded the Communist party-state's interventions into many aspects of Soviet life, including the realm of “folk music.” In this article, I draw on the example of the Soviet institutionalization of a Crimean Tatar folk orchestra to demonstrate how Soviet musical evolutionism ordered and constrained vernacular musical practices in ways that have had long-term political consequences, especially concerning the politics of post-Soviet indigeneity. I argue that to delink teleology from musical evolution—akin to how evolution is understood in the physical sciences—would take a fundamental step toward decolonizing music studies. I conclude by comparing the Soviet case to contemporary discourses of musical evolutionism, observing how it risks exiling some musics to a present that is “less evolved.” Crimean Tatar language, translated by Adel Khairutdinova, Muslim Umerov, and Ayla Bakkalli

音乐进化与其他:从苏联国家支持的音乐进化论到后苏联克里米亚鞑靼土著音乐
在苏联,进化论的逻辑支撑了共产党国家对苏联生活的许多方面的干预,包括“民间音乐”领域,我以苏联将克里米亚鞑靼民间管弦乐队制度化为例,展示了苏联音乐进化论是如何以产生长期政治后果的方式命令和约束本土音乐实践的,尤其是关于后苏联土著政治的。我认为,将目的论与音乐进化脱钩——类似于物理科学对进化的理解——将朝着音乐研究的非殖民化迈出根本一步。最后,我将苏联的案例与当代音乐进化论的论述进行了比较,观察了它如何冒着将一些音乐放逐到“进化程度较低”的当下的风险。克里米亚鞑靼语,由Adel Khairutdinova、Muslim Umerov和Ayla Bakkali翻译

期刊介绍: As the official journal of the Society for Ethnomusicology, Ethnomusicology is the premier publication in the field. Its scholarly articles represent current theoretical perspectives and research in ethnomusicology and related fields, while playing a central role in expanding the discipline in the United States and abroad. Aimed at a diverse audience of musicologists, anthropologists, folklorists, cultural studies scholars, musicians, and others, this inclusive journal also features book, recording, film, video, and multimedia reviews. Peer-reviewed by the Society’s international membership, Ethnomusicology has been published three times a year since the 1950s.
