Abstract

El Sistema orchestras may be “transformative” and produce positive changes in the lives of young participants, but there are also negative aspects to discipline and authority that may lead to exclusion. This article positions itself within the current debate on Sistema by treating symmetrically its potentially positive and negative sides. We analyse a rehearsal session during a summer camp of a Portuguese Sistema-inspired orchestra program, focusing on the production of order, the socio-musical interactions among participants, the conductor’s leadership and authority, and the young players’ postures and reactions. This is taken as a case study to discuss to what extent discipline and authority, as constituents of orchestral socialization, may be empowering to participants by developing their skills or, on the contrary, symbolically violent and boring. The rehearsal was video-recorded and watched, events were categorized, selected and analysed qualitatively. The article finishes with a critical reflection on the ambivalence and contradictions of discipline and its wider implications for education.

授权还是无聊?纪律和权威在葡萄牙系统启发乐团排练。
El Sistema管弦乐团可能是“变革性的”,给年轻参与者的生活带来积极的变化,但纪律和权威也有消极的一面,可能导致被排斥。本文通过对称地处理系统潜在的积极和消极方面,将自己置于当前关于系统的辩论中。我们分析了一个受葡萄牙sistema启发的夏令营管弦乐队项目的排练,重点关注秩序的产生,参与者之间的社会音乐互动,指挥的领导和权威,以及年轻球员的姿势和反应。这是一个案例研究来讨论纪律和权威,作为管弦乐社会化的组成部分,在多大程度上可以通过发展参与者的技能来赋予他们权力,或者相反,象征性的暴力和无聊。彩排被录下来观看,事件被分类、选择和定性分析。文章最后对学科的矛盾和矛盾及其对教育的广泛影响进行了批判性反思。
