在哥伦比亚,长达五年的暴力冲突已导致数百万人流离失所,其中许多人现在在重新定居的地方面临着洪水、山体滑坡和其他环境危害的严重风险。在我们的研究中,我们的主要目标之一是更好地了解居住在索查(哥伦比亚中部昆迪纳马卡的城市工人阶级区)以及佩雷拉和马尼萨莱斯及其附近城市和城郊地区(这两个城市都是哥伦比亚主要咖啡种植区的城市)的危险多发地区的冲突流离失所者的经历、脆弱性和生存策略。我们希望创造一个空间,让这些人可以有尊严、有代理性地讲述他们的生活故事。对于遭受巨大损失和创伤以及暴力的剥夺性影响的社会和政治边缘人群来说,传统的社会科学访谈可能会重新揭开伤口并造成极度痛苦。此外,受访者可能会觉得他们所提出的问题有“好”、“坏”或其他“首选”答案。在我们的研究中,我们邀请参与者通过 MP3 播放器与我们分享他们珍视的一段音乐或一首歌曲,然后开始谈论他们的生活故事。通过这种方式,我们希望参与者通过创造舒适的空间来“地域化”研究遭遇,以他们的品味和习惯为中心(Dos Santos和Wagner,2018),并在那里他们行使更大的控制力和代理权来决定讨论的主题(Levell,2019)。我们希望人们与我们分享的歌曲能够成为他们选择的人生故事的切入点。本文提供了一些思考,探讨谈论音乐这种与情感、记忆和身份密切相关的文化形式如何为更好地理解他人的生活和经历提供资源。
In Colombia, five decades of violent conflict have displaced millions of people, many of whom now face severe risks from flooding, landslides and other environmental hazards in the places they have found to resettle. In our research, one of our main objectives was to better understand the experiences, vulnerabilities and survival strategies of conflict-displaced people living in hazard-prone locations in Soacha, an urban working-class district of Cundinamarca in the centre of Colombia, and in urban and peri-urban areas in or near Pereira and Manizales, both of which are cities in Colombia’s main coffee-growing region. We wanted to create spaces within which such people could tell their life stories with dignity and agency. For socially and politically marginalised people who have suffered enormous loss and trauma, and the disempowering effects of violence, conventional social science interviews may re-open wounds and cause extreme distress. Furthermore, interviewees may feel that there are ‘good’, ‘bad’ or otherwise ‘preferred’ answers to the questions they are asked. In our research, we instead invited participants to share a piece of music or a song they valued with us, via mp3 players, before opening a conversation about their life stories. In this way, we intended for participants to ‘territorialise’ the research encounter by creating comfortable spaces where their taste and habits were central (Dos Santos and Wagner, 2018), and where they exercised greater control and agency to decide the topics discussed (Levell, 2019). We wanted the songs people shared with us to act as their chosen entry points into their life stories. This article offers some reflections on how talking about music, a cultural form linked closely with emotions, memory and identity, can provide a resource for better understanding the lives and experiences of others.
