Introduction to the Sociology of Music Technologies: An Ontological Review
2022
Overview
Adorno’s work, in particular the texts dealing with the relationship between music and social behaviors or structures, has been the target of criticism, especially in the second half of the 20th century, being considered by many to be generalist, dogmatic or even elitist. This work proposes the analysis of musical technologies not only as a set of compositional techniques, as Adorno does, but, in fact, as material conditions for the realization of a certain type of sound/music. The colonialist character of these technologies is also analyzed. Based on a review of some key concepts in Adornian theory, a dialogue is sought with more contemporary authors from the sociology of music. El trabajo de Adorno, en particular los textos que tratan de la relación entre la música y los comportamientos o estructuras sociales, ha sido objeto de críticas, especialmente en la segunda mitad del siglo XX, siendo considerado por muchos como generalista, dogmático o incluso elitista. Este trabajo propone el análisis de las tecnologías musicales no solo como un conjunto de técnicas compositivas, como hace Adorno, sino como, de hecho, condiciones materiales para la realización de un determinado tipo de sonido/música. También se observa el carácter colonialista de estas tecnologías. A partir de una revisión de algunos conceptos clave de la teoría adorniana, se busca un diálogo con autores más contemporáneos en la sociología de la música.
