Ethnographie associative vs ethnographie instituée : un rapport dialectique ?

At the end of the 1960s, young promoters of revivalism in oral music and dance burst into the field of ethnomusicology in France, shaking up the scientific and museographical bodies where research had been confined until then. The result was intergenerational tensions that had to be overcome, while...

description At the end of the 1960s, young promoters of revivalism in oral music and dance burst into the field of ethnomusicology in France, shaking up the scientific and museographical bodies where research had been confined until then. The result was intergenerational tensions that had to be overcome, while at the same time filling the methodological gaps in an ethnographic practice that had been renamed “collecting”. This was followed by a recomposition that oscillated between distanced coexistence and reciprocal transfers of skills and resources, via occasional cooperative ventures. It took almost half a century to consolidate the rapprochement between the network of collectors and associative sound archives, public structures for the conservation of intangible cultural heritage and teacher-researchers, whose numbers in the sub-discipline concerned grew in parallel, albeit moderately. This, at least, is what emerges from the testimonies of five players involved in this dialectical process: Marlène Belly, Michel Colleu, Pierre Guillard, Jean-François Miniot and Catherine Perrier. They explain why and how, in the course of their unevenly linear careers, they have never ceased to combine artistic practice, heuristics and the sharing of knowledge.
