African Music and Politics: Negotiations of Violence in South African Popular Music (C05)

这个子项目研究政治暴力和流行音乐之间的相互关系。它分析了流行音乐中政治暴力的音乐、文本和身体主题化及其政治用途。实证工作的核心包括在南非进行的总计15个月的民族志研究，包括访谈、观察和档案研究。分析遵循扎根理论原则。另外两个工作领域涉及暴力社会学和政治社会学的理论和概念后果，以及最近南非分层动态与音乐偏好之间的相互联系。

The subproject studies interrelations between political violence and popular music. It analyses musical, textual and bodily thematizations of political violence in popular music and its political utilizations. The core of the empirical work consists in a total of 15 months of ethnographic research in South Africa, including interviews, observations, and archive research. The analysis follows Grounded Theory principles. The two other working areas address theoretical and conceptual consequences for the sociology of violence and political sociology, as well as interconnections between recent dynamics of stratifications in South Africa and musical preferences.
