Abstract It is not possible for professionals, including music teachers, to avoid interacting with and teaching children living with or affected by an autism spectrum disorder, because this condition is prevalent among young learners. Although previous studies have explored the effect of music and music therapy on children with autism, few have studied the practical instruction of teaching a musical instrument to these learners from the perspective of autism and its comorbidities. We used a qualitative research method, namely an action research model that incorporated observations, journal writing, and reflection. Twelve learners with autism spectrum disorder were given piano lessons, and during this process, adaptations of teaching methods and the materials were assessed. To help us achieve our objectives, we used the book My First Piano Adventure for the Young Learner as our guide. Our main findings were that incorporating physical exercises to improve fine and gross motor skills, using visual adaptations in instructions, and being sensitive to co-occurring conditions such as attention deficit disorder, anxiety or hypersensitivity to the environment enhanced the learning experience. This approach should fit in well with the modern paradigm in interventions that entail teaching children on the autism spectrum: teaching skills in a natural environment, integrated across domains, and bearing in mind the need to feel empathy for learners’ unique diversity.
对于包括音乐教师在内的专业人士来说,不可能避免与患有自闭症谱系障碍或受其影响的儿童进行互动和教学,因为这种情况在年轻学习者中很普遍。虽然以往的研究已经探讨了音乐和音乐治疗对自闭症儿童的影响,但很少从自闭症及其合并症的角度研究乐器教学对这些学习者的实际指导。我们采用了定性研究方法,即结合观察、日记写作和反思的行动研究模型。对12名自闭症谱系障碍学习者进行了钢琴课的学习,并在此过程中评估了教学方法和材料的适应性。为了帮助我们实现我们的目标,我们使用了《我的第一次钢琴冒险》这本书作为指导。我们的主要发现是,结合体育锻炼来提高精细和大肌肉运动技能,在指导中使用视觉适应,以及对共同发生的情况(如注意力缺陷障碍、焦虑或对环境过度敏感)敏感,可以增强学习体验。这种方法应该很好地符合现代干预模式,即需要教授自闭症儿童:在自然环境中教授技能,跨领域整合,并牢记需要对学习者独特的多样性感到同情。

Drumming Tradition among the Xhosa Amagqirha 科萨·阿玛格奇尔哈的鼓乐传统

Abstract Drumming is an important part of several African communal cultural traditions and is performed during initiation and ritual ceremonies because it is believed that the beat of the drum can evoke the ancestors. This article is based on ongoing ethnographic research into umxhentso traditional dances among the Xhosa people in the Eastern Cape and Western Cape Provinces of South Africa in the context of amagqirha ceremonies. These ceremonies include drumming, singing, and dancing to obtain spiritual, emotional, and physical blessings and healings from the ancestors. The amagqirha ceremonies are the core of the Xhosa traditions and the role of drumming in these ceremonies has not previously received scholarly attention. This study therefore seeks to bring to the fore the cultural implications of drumming during the amagqirha ceremonies and to better understand the deeper meaning of this indigenous cultural practice. Observation, interviews, and analysis of archival video and photographic material are employed to collect ethnographic data. The findings show that amagqirha ceremonies and rituals incorporate drumming, music, and dance not simply for entertainment but also for spiritual and religious purposes.
摘要打鼓是几个非洲社区文化传统的重要组成部分,在入会仪式和仪式上都会进行,因为人们相信打鼓可以唤起祖先的记忆。本文基于对南非东开普省和西开普省科萨人传统舞蹈的民族志研究。这些仪式包括击鼓、唱歌和跳舞,以从祖先那里获得精神、情感和身体上的祝福和治愈。阿马格奇尔哈仪式是科萨传统的核心,打鼓在这些仪式中的作用以前没有受到学术界的关注。因此,本研究试图突出阿末格奇尔哈仪式中击鼓的文化含义,并更好地理解这种土著文化实践的深层含义。对档案视频和摄影材料进行观察、访谈和分析,以收集民族志数据。研究结果表明,阿马格奇尔哈仪式和仪式融合了鼓点、音乐和舞蹈,不仅是为了娱乐,也是为了精神和宗教目的。

Appropriated and Commodified Dance in the Post-2000 Zimbabwe Crisis Period as Represented in Petina Gappah’s “The Mupandawana Dancing Champion” 从Petina Gappah的《Mupandawana舞蹈冠军》看2000年后津巴布韦危机时期舞蹈的挪用和商品化

Abstract In this article I undertake a literary analysis of Petina Gappah’s short story entitled “The Mupandawana Dancing Champion” (2009) focusing on the author’s portrayal of the intersection between the dancing body and political power in post-2000 Zimbabwe’s crisis period. I draw from Michel Foucault’s notion of the docile body to discuss how the politically dominant appropriate and commodify the dancing body of the subordinate for political survival and financial benefit. I argue that Gappah ironically depicts the hypnotic place of kongonya dance among the populace, especially as performed by the pupils from Mupandawana growth point. I further contend that Gappah cynically depicts the transformation of M’dhara Vitalis’s dances from a social entertainment performance into a strictly business transaction. A reading of “The Mupandawana Dancing Champion” is, therefore, useful to appreciate how the ruling political elite appropriate enfeebled ordinary people’s dance and use its influence to maintain their grip on power and their monopoly on business opportunities.
在本文中,我对佩蒂娜·加帕赫的短篇小说《穆潘达瓦纳舞蹈冠军》(2009)进行文学分析,重点关注作者对2000年后津巴布韦危机时期舞蹈身体与政治权力之间交叉的描绘。我从米歇尔·福柯的温顺身体的概念中,来讨论政治上的支配者如何为了政治生存和经济利益而适当地利用和商品化从属的舞蹈身体。我认为Gappah讽刺地描绘了孔戈雅舞在民众中的催眠地位,特别是由来自Mupandawana成长点的学生表演。我进一步认为,Gappah愤世嫉俗地描绘了M 'dhara Vitalis的舞蹈从社交娱乐表演转变为严格的商业交易。因此,阅读《穆班达瓦纳舞蹈冠军》有助于理解执政的政治精英如何利用衰弱的普通民众的舞蹈,并利用其影响力来维持他们对权力的控制和对商业机会的垄断。

Popular Music, Deviance and Moral Panics in Nigeria: The Music of Naira Marley 流行音乐、魔鬼与尼日利亚的道德恐慌——奈拉·马利的音乐

Abstract This paper interrogates the issue of deviance and moral panics associated with popular music production in Nigeria. Relying on qualitative and netnographic data, the paper explores contested perspectives on the music of Naira Marley, which is generally laden with censured themes of vulgarity, substance abuse, and loose sexuality. Naira Marley’s music has generated much moral controversy in Nigeria owing mainly to media criticisms, which follow from the bizarre subcultural lifestyles of his fans (i.e., the deviant Marlians) that imitate and idolise him. Although a few texts on Naira Marley exist, none focus on deviance and moral panics. Following debates on and around social reactions to popular music’s subcultural morality, we discuss the politics of nonconformity and anti-establishmentarian music production in Nigeria and contend that while the moral judgement of Marley’s music content is relative, its deviant mannerism is structurally functional. In other words, the music creates moral panics and advocates social change because its seemingly deviant themes resonate with economically disadvantaged Nigerians who patronise it as a form of escapism.
摘要本文探讨了尼日利亚流行音乐制作中的偏差和道德恐慌问题。基于定性和网络数据,本文探讨了对奈拉·马利音乐的有争议的观点,该音乐通常充斥着粗俗、药物滥用和松散的性取向等备受谴责的主题。奈拉·马利的音乐在尼日利亚引发了许多道德争议,主要是因为媒体的批评,这些批评源于他的粉丝(即离经叛道的马利人)模仿和崇拜他的怪异亚文化生活方式。尽管有一些关于奈拉·马利的文章,但没有一篇是关于越轨和道德恐慌的。在围绕社会对流行音乐亚文化道德的反应展开辩论之后,我们讨论了尼日利亚的不一致和反建制音乐制作的政治,并认为尽管对马利音乐内容的道德判断是相对的,但其越轨行为在结构上是功能性的。换言之,这首音乐制造了道德恐慌,并倡导社会变革,因为它看似离经叛道的主题引起了经济弱势尼日利亚人的共鸣,他们将其视为一种逃避现实的形式。

Abstract The increasing performance and academic demands within the tertiary setting, in conjunction with perfectionistic behaviour and ruminative thinking, may contribute towards mental health difficulties among music students. The current study explored the relationship between perfectionism, rumination, mindfulness and mental health in music students. Using a cross-sectional survey design, 72 university music students participated in the study. According to their self-report mental health status, the participants were clustered into self-report mental health (n = 26) and no mental health (n = 46) groups. The results revealed that anxiety and depression were the most prominent mental health issues. Essential correlations between perfectionistic concerns and brooding rumination emerged in both groups; however, the participants from the no mental health group displayed significant inverse associations between perfectionism and mindfulness (Pursuit of Perfection and Non-judging of Inner Experiences; Concern over Mistakes and Non-judging of Inner Experiences) which were not evident among the participants from the self-report mental health group. Moreover, significantly higher scores of perfectionistic concerns, brooding and reflective rumination were found among participants from the self-report mental health group compared to those from the no mental health group. The results provide valuable insights into the mental health status of music students.
摘要高等教育环境中不断增长的表现和学术需求,加上完美主义行为和沉思思维,可能会导致音乐学生的心理健康问题。本研究探讨了音乐系学生完美主义、沉思、正念与心理健康之间的关系。采用横断面调查设计,72名大学音乐系学生参与了这项研究。根据自我报告的心理健康状况,参与者被分为自我报告的精神健康组(n=26)和无心理健康组(n=46)。结果显示,焦虑和抑郁是最突出的心理健康问题。完美主义关注和沉思沉思之间的本质相关性出现在两组中;然而,来自非心理健康组的参与者在完美主义和正念之间表现出显著的负相关(追求完美和不判断内心体验;对错误的关注和不判断内在体验),这在自我报告的心理健康组参与者中并不明显。此外,与非心理健康组相比,自我报告心理健康组的参与者完美主义担忧、沉思和反思的得分明显更高。研究结果为了解音乐专业学生的心理健康状况提供了有价值的见解。

Youth Popular Music, Waithood and Protest: Zimdancehall Music in Zimbabwe 青年流行音乐,等待和抗议:津巴布韦的津巴布韦舞厅音乐

Abstract Dancehall music in Zimbabwe has become a very popular genre among urban youth. Since its emergence, this localised music genre has reconfigured urban public culture in complex ways. Drawing on popular musical forms (Zimdancehall), this article examines how urban youth use this musical genre to articulate and express their frustrations, grievances, and everyday existential struggles. This article critiques popular songs and lyrics of selected young Zimdancehall artists to show how their musical discourse can be viewed as alternative discursive spaces of counterhegemonic narratives and a critique of the excesses of the post-colonial state. I argue that Zimdancehall music has become a space where young people simultaneously articulate and navigate their existential frustrations and waithood. While marginalised from mainstream socio-economic and political processes, and detached from the corridors of power, young people use music to speak truth to power. They sing about their anxieties with the socio-economic and political injustices metaphorically and creatively. I assert that through music, young people have found a way of (in)directly addressing the political elites who are complicit in their everyday existential struggles. I argue that Zimdancehall lyrics should be read as ideological texts which articulate a specific type of being and becoming, epitomised by the politics of suffering and smiling.
在津巴布韦,舞厅音乐已经成为一种非常受城市年轻人欢迎的音乐类型。自出现以来,这种本土化的音乐类型以复杂的方式重新配置了城市公共文化。借鉴流行音乐形式(Zimdancehall),本文探讨了城市青年如何使用这种音乐类型来表达他们的挫折、不满和日常生存斗争。这篇文章评论了一些年轻Zimdancehall艺术家的流行歌曲和歌词,以展示他们的音乐话语如何被视为反霸权叙事的另一种话语空间,以及对后殖民国家过度行为的批评。我认为Zimdancehall音乐已经成为年轻人同时表达和驾驭他们存在的挫折和等待的空间。年轻人在主流社会经济和政治进程中被边缘化,与权力走廊脱节,但他们利用音乐向权力说出真相。他们以隐喻和创造性的方式歌唱他们对社会经济和政治不公正的焦虑。我断言,通过音乐,年轻人找到了一种直接与政治精英对话的方式,这些政治精英与他们的日常生存斗争沆瀣一气。我认为Zimdancehall的歌词应该被理解为一种意识形态文本,它表达了一种特定类型的存在和成为,集中体现了痛苦和微笑的政治。

Abstract Some scholars have argued that ideas of coloured identities are in flux: being constantly made and re-made. This presentation explores how race can be used as an interpretive lens through which to understand and read the music of Stereo Zen, a funk-rock band based in Cape Town in the mid-2000s. In discussing how Stereo Zen construct and reconstruct their relationship with their coloured identity, this presentation aligns itself with scholars who argue that academic engagement with the construction of race is productive when race is seen as a “medium,” or a “method of interpretation.” As a regular guest artist appearing with the band, my position as scholar-musician has allowed me to gain unique perspectives on this music, and this presentation explores how the band repositions funk to a South African context through lyrical and musical imagery, as well as their critiques of colonial constructions of black musicality.
一些学者认为,有色身份的概念是不断变化的:不断地被制造和重新制造。这次演讲探讨了种族如何被用作一个解释性的镜头,通过它来理解和阅读立体声禅宗的音乐,立体声禅宗是2000年代中期在开普敦的一个放克摇滚乐队。在讨论立体禅宗如何构建和重建他们与有色身份的关系时,这次演讲与一些学者的观点一致,这些学者认为,当种族被视为一种“媒介”或一种“解释方法”时,学术参与种族建构是富有成效的。作为乐队的定期客座艺术家,我作为学者音乐家的地位使我能够获得对这种音乐的独特视角,这次演讲探讨了乐队如何通过抒情和音乐意象将放克重新定位到南非的背景下,以及他们对黑人音乐性的殖民建筑的批评。
