Working Class-ical Music: Embodying Working-Class Identity within Compositional Practice

研究工人阶级在作曲实践中的体现如何为该领域提供原创的创造性发展。这个基于实践的研究项目将产生一系列新的作品，通过跨学科的方法探索工人阶级在创作实践中的创造性可能性。根据布迪厄（1984）和斯凯格斯（2004）等各种理论家的观点，工人阶级可以被理解为缺乏资本（例如文化和经济），这导致了价值的斗争和替代文化实践的发展。我的研究方法借鉴了布迪厄的习惯理论（Bourdieu, 1984; 2000）、斯格格斯的“人的价值”概念（Skeggs, 2004; 2011）、其他工人阶级艺术家的作品（如格雷森·佩里和托尼·哈里森）以及自动人种学研究方法。我创作的跨学科作品通过包含非声音元素（戏剧、电影和文本）和来自这些不同领域的研究，提供了对工人阶级的更充分的表现。这种方法使工人阶级能够嵌入所使用的声音/非声音元素及其结构中，以创造原创的跨学科作品。这个项目的产出包括：-一系列体现工人阶级的跨学科新作品（1-2件实质性作品和一些较小的发展作品）。-一个支持性的批判性评论，以帮助阐明我的研究背景，目的和结论。-突出研究元素的表演的AV文件。这些组合的输出为在新的古典音乐作品中体现工人阶级提供了一种方法，为该领域带来了新的创造性发展。

Examining how the embodying of working-classness within compositional practice can provide original creative developments to the field. This practice-based research project will generate a folio of new compositions that explore the creative possibilities working-classness can have on compositional practices through interdisciplinary methods. Following a variety of theorists such as Bourdieu (1984) and Skeggs (2004), working-classness can be understood as having a lack of capitals (e.g. cultural and economic) which results in a struggle for value and the development of alternative cultural practices.My methodology is informed by Bourdieu's theory of Habitus (Bourdieu, 1984; 2000), Skeggs' concept of "Person Value" (Skeggs, 2004; 2011), the work of other working-class artists (e.g. Grayson Perry and Tony Harrison), and auto-ethnographical research methods. The interdisciplinary compositions I create provide a fuller representation of working-classness through the inclusion of non-sonic elements (theatre, film, and text) and research from these different fields.This methodology enables working-classness to be embedded in both the sonic/non-sonic elements used and their construction to create original interdisciplinary compositions.The outputs of this project comprise of:- A folio of new interdisciplinary compositions embodying working-classness (1-2 substantial works and a number of smaller developmental compositions).- A supportive critical commentary to help articulate my research context, aims and conclusions.- AV documentation of performances that highlight research elements.These combined outputs provide a method for the embodying of working-classness within new classical music compositions to bring new creative developments to the field.
