MUSLIVE: Musical Lives: Towards an Historical Anthropology of French Song, 1100-1300

《音乐生活》是对现存最早的法国歌曲创作和早期传播时期（1100-1300年）的跨学科研究。在音乐学和文学研究中，这些传统长期以来一直具有特殊的地位，是新兴的欧洲诗歌和音乐经典的基石。迄今为止，学者们已经建立了重要的文献学方法，将歌曲作为文本进行复原，并对其诗歌和音乐工艺产生批判性的见解，而《音乐生活》则提出了一种激进的重新定位：关注那些最初创作和演唱这些歌曲的人。它为歌曲分析开发了新的语言学和实践主导的方法，通过歌曲在广泛的地理和传统的社交网络背景下检查适应和互文网络的音乐过程。MUSLIVE将结合音乐证据，探索歌曲的创作者和表演者，在个人、家庭和社区表达的结构中，跨越性别、世代、种族和等级的差异；它将通过一个大规模人口流动（十字军东征、朝圣、流亡、经济移民）时代的行程和遭遇来追踪歌曲的传播；它将扩大音乐相遇的通常领域，特别是包括阿拉伯语和希伯来语的抒情，以建立一个更大的抒情传统，从西欧横跨地中海到黎凡特。该项目不仅对音乐学和文学研究学科，而且对更广泛的历史也有深远的影响。除了继续研究这一时期法国文学的新跨国方法外，该项目还呼吁人们关注迄今为止在大多数历史学家的叙述中通常被认为是次要的证据，为历史人类学发展一个模型，该模型将歌唱和歌曲制作作为人类身份和关系形成和表达的关键。

Musical Lives is an interdisciplinary study of the earliest surviving French song repertories in the period of their creation and early transmission, 1100-1300. Within musicology and literary studies, these traditions have long had special status as a cornerstone of the emerging European poetic and musical canon. While scholarship to date has established important philological methods for recuperating songs as texts, and for generating critical insight into their poetic and musical craft, Musical Lives proposes a radical reorientation: a focus on the people who first made and sang these songs. It develops new philological and practice-led methodologies for song analysis, examining musical processes of adaptation and intertextual networking in the context of social networking through song, across wide geographies and traditions. MUSLIVE will couple musical evidence with exploration of song's makers and performers within structures of individual, family and community expression, and across distinctions of gender, generation, race and rank; it will trace song transmission through itineraries and encounters in an era of mass movement of people (crusade, pilgrimage, exile, economic migration); and it will widen the usual spheres of musical encounter, in particular including Arabic and Hebrew lyric, in order to establish a larger lyric tradition, from Western Europe across the Mediterranean to the Levant. The project has far-reaching implications not only for the disciplines of musicology and literary studies, but also for history more generally. As well as continuing to develop new transnational approaches to French literature of this period, the project calls attention to evidence that is often thought peripheral in most historians' accounts to date, developing a model for an historical anthropology which accounts for singing and song-making as crucial in the formation and articulation of human identities and relationships.
