摘要在这篇文章中，世界音乐的概念已被探讨，既作为一个积极的一般概念，以普及以前被忽视的音乐的多样性，但也作为一个消极的影响，鼓励刻板印象和个人创造力屈服于政治化的文化观念。这些考虑因素如何影响了构建分类模型的方法，以及为什么该模型被一个反映基本上相反的考虑因素的不同系统所取代。在文章标题中提到的乐队“Os Mutantes”反映了作者自己的实际问题（作为一个消费者而不是编目员）与当时乐队对CD的可重复性，以及这种对商业分类的挫折感是如何产生的，（档案在“摇滚”下）和巴西热带运动的一个团体（档案在“世界音乐”下）影响了有关该收藏的分类决定。还讨论了持续收集发展问题的不确定性，以及它们如何告知有关原始分类系统，随后的重新分类政策和最终命运的集合的决定。
ABSTRACT In this article, the concept of World music has been explored, as both a positive general concept to popularise a diversity of previously neglected musics, but also as a disempowering negative influence in encouraging stereotyping and by subjugating individual creativity to politicized perceptions of culture. How these considerations influenced the approach to constructing a classification model has been demonstrated and why that model was replaced by a different system reflecting essentially opposing considerations. The reference to the band “Os Mutantes” in the article title reflects the authors own practical issues (as a consumer rather than a cataloguer) with the discoverability of CDs by the band at the time, and how this frustration with the commercial categorisation of what was both a popular psychedelic pop band (file under “rock”) and a group in the Brazilian Tropicalia movement (file under “World music”) influenced classification decisions regarding the collection in question. Also discussed are uncertainties regarding continuing collection development issues and how they informed decisions regarding original classification system, subsequent reclassification policy and ultimate fate of the collections.
