Abstract
ABSTRACT It is common in the academic reception of the legacy of Edward Said to limit the analysis of his theorization of a contrapuntal perspective on colonial history to the dominant theme of Said’s published writings. Nevertheless, alternative narratives emerge in unpublished texts preserved in the Edward W. Said Papers at Columbia University. Archival research reveals that Said actually proposes a heterophonic, instead of contrapuntal, perspective in early drafts for Culture and Imperialism (1993). Said’s legacy itself requires a heterophonic reading to analyze the overlap and interactions of these variations in his writings.
在学术上接受爱德华·萨义德的遗产时,将其殖民历史对位观点的理论分析限制在萨义德已发表作品的主要主题上是很常见的。然而,哥伦比亚大学爱德华·w·赛义德论文(Edward W. Said Papers)中保存的未发表文本中出现了另一种叙述。档案研究表明,萨义德在《文化与帝国主义》(1993)的初稿中实际上提出了一种异声调的视角,而不是对位的视角。赛义德的遗产本身就需要一种异音的阅读来分析他作品中这些变化的重叠和相互作用。
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Musicological Research publishes original articles on all aspects of the discipline of music: historical musicology, style and repertory studies, music theory, ethnomusicology, music education, organology, and interdisciplinary studies. Because contemporary music scholarship addresses critical and analytical issues from a multiplicity of viewpoints, the Journal of Musicological Research seeks to present studies from all perspectives, using the full spectrum of methodologies. This variety makes the Journal a place where scholarly approaches can coexist, in all their harmony and occasional discord, and one that is not allied with any particular school or viewpoint.
