Abstract

As Helen English rightly acknowledges early on in her wonderfully detailed study of music making in nineteenth-century Newcastle and its surrounds, while the area’s European settlers engaged enthusiastically in ‘building individual and collective worlds,’ their ‘world-building’ simultaneously (and violently) destroyed the country and lifestyle of the local Awabakal people (pp. 2, 29). In stark contrast, the locations covered in this book—the coalmining city of Newcastle, the pastoral settlement of Maitland, and a number of small towns nearby (among them Lambton, Wallsend, and Waratah, now all suburbs of Newcastle)—were all thriving by the 1860s. While there was a certain degree of demographic diversity between these settlements— Newcastle, for example, was chiefly home to miners, tradesmen, and itinerant port workers, compared to Maitland’s landowners and small-scale farmers—one feature they all shared was the significant amount of music-making that occurred within their communities.

海伦·j·英格利希。殖民城市的音乐与世界建设:纽卡斯尔、新南威尔士州及其乡镇,1860-1880
正如海伦·英格利希(Helen English)在她对19世纪纽卡斯尔及其周边地区音乐制作的精彩详细研究中正确地承认的那样,当该地区的欧洲定居者热情地参与“建立个人和集体世界”时,他们的“世界建设”同时(并且暴力地)摧毁了当地阿瓦巴卡人的国家和生活方式(第2,29页)。与之形成鲜明对比的是,这本书所涉及的地点——煤矿城市纽卡斯尔、梅特兰的牧区以及附近的一些小城镇(其中包括兰姆顿、沃尔森德和沃拉塔,现在都是纽卡斯尔的郊区)——在19世纪60年代都很繁荣。虽然这些定居点之间存在一定程度的人口多样性——例如,纽卡斯尔主要是矿工、商人和流动港口工人的家园,而梅特兰的土地所有者和小农则是如此——但他们都有一个共同的特点,那就是在他们的社区内发生了大量的音乐创作。[…]

期刊介绍: Science in Context is an international journal edited at The Cohn Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Ideas, Tel Aviv University, with the support of the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute. It is devoted to the study of the sciences from the points of view of comparative epistemology and historical sociology of scientific knowledge. The journal is committed to an interdisciplinary approach to the study of science and its cultural development - it does not segregate considerations drawn from history, philosophy and sociology. Controversies within scientific knowledge and debates about methodology are presented in their contexts.
