Darmstadt Events. The Darmstadt International Summer Courses for New Music from 1964 to1994 as a space of aesthetic, theoretical and political action

本项目的目标是在仔细检查课程期间制作的原始录音的基础上，对恩斯特托马斯和弗里德内奇霍梅尔担任主任期间的达姆施塔特夏季课程进行评估。我们从三个不同的角度来审视“达姆施塔特事件”，每一个角度都在一个单独的出版物中处理：首先，我们看看课程中美学问题的历史演变。其次，系统分析了音乐理论课程在特定条件下的发展。第三个重点是社会政治性质。另一卷通过提供主要来源的版本来补充研究。我们的目标是开发一种基于行动背景的音乐史学方法，而不是二十世纪后半叶的音乐历史描述。从一开始，我们就觉得有必要补充该项目的历史，美学和社会政治视角，重点放在理论视角上，这一假设已被证明是正确的，无论是在参考来源本身和由此产生的论证路线。因此，延长期将用于完成第一阶段开始的两部专著，这两部专著已经很好地完成了，同时还将开发一部工作名称为《理论和/或实践》的专著，以及一部由许多来源的版本组成的另一卷。将在理论构建过程中进行更深入的研究。与书面文本相比，口头陈述往往是自发形成的，而且是在一个试探性的理论背景下形成的，因此，它们在空白处和往往被认为是矛盾的理论概念之间的联系方面提供了丰富的信息。一份单独的出版物（第2卷）将使人们能够对按实际时间顺序排列的资料来源的专题组采用一种系统的方法。与历史和美学观点（第1卷）和社会政治观点（第3卷）一起，确保对1964年至1994年达姆施塔特夏季课程的历史进行广泛的批判性重建。一卷编辑的文件（第4卷）将是迄今为止无法获得的来源的第一次出版，并将强调本项目中检查的各种transmittance，书面来源和照片的特定质量。出于实际原因，我们决定在资料来源允许的范围内，记录托马斯和霍梅尔从1962年开始到1994年的董事职务。这不会影响整体概念，但它将提高文档的整体可用性，并增强我们的论证所基于的组织结构视图。

The goal ofthis project is the evaluation of the Darmstadt summer courses during the directorships of Ernst Thomas and Friednch Hommel, based on careful examination of original audio recordings which were made, during the courses. We examine the "Darmstadt events" from three distinct perspectives, each of which is dealt with in a separate publication: First we look at the historical evolution of aesthetic questions during the courses. Secondly, we systematically analyse the development of music theory under the specific conditions of the courses. And the third focus is of socio-political nature. An additional volume supplements the study by providing an edition of major sources. It is our goal to develop an alternative method of music historiography based on the context of actions, as opposed to the custornary historical description of music in the second half of the twentieth century.From the beginning, we felt it would be necessary to complement the historical, aesthetic and socio-political perspectives of the project with a focus on the theoretical perspective, and this hypothesis has proven to be correct, both in reference to the sources themselves and to the resulting line of argumentation. Thus the extension period will be used to complete the two monographs begun in the first period and which are already well advanced, as well as to develop an additional monograph with the working title of Theory and/as Praxis and a further volume which will consist of an edition of numerous sources.The recordings of lectures, courses and discussions, which have already been largely evaluated, will be examined closer in respect to processes of theory construction. In comparison to written texts, oral statements are often formulated spontaneously and in a tentative theoretical context, and thus they yield rich information both on blank spaces and on connections between theoretical concepts which are often considered to be contradictory. A separate publication (volume 2) will enable the application of a systematic approach to thematic clusters of sources apart from their actual chronological order. Together with the historical and aesthetic perspectives (volume 1) and the socio-political perspective (volume 3), a broad critical reconstruction of the history of the Darmstadt summer courses from 1964 to 1994 is ensured. A volume of edited documents (volume 4) win be the first publication of sources hitherto unavailable and will underline the specific qualities of the various clusters of transcriptions, written sources and photos examined in this project. For pragmatic reasons, we have decided to document the directorships of Thomas and Hommel - beginning in 1962 and lasting until 1994 - as far as the sources permit. This will not affect the overall concept, but it will improve the overall usability of the documentation and enhance the view of the organizational structures that our argumentation is based on.
