음악학에서 소리연구(Sound Studies)로

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to introduce Sound Studies to musicologiests and to invite them to this new scholastic area. The meaning`of sound is not defined but constructed in the scoio-cultural context. Sound Studies pursues the meaning of sound. It is rather an extension of the conventional musicology than a new invention. If the musicologists’ work is to find the meaning of sound within the context of musical composition, Sound Studies scholars trie to find it within the scoio-cultural context. If musicologists have been tried to read the society and culture that are carved in the musical works, Sound Studies try to ‘haer’ classes, genders, generation gaps, and regional differences through the ubiquitous and acousmatic sound around us.
