Programme:
Dr Bianca Ludewig, 'Ethnographic Research as Adventure and Challenge'
In my presentation I will focus on experiences during my years of ethnographic field work in various European cities, where I researched transmedia festivals - urban events presenting media art, sound art and experimental music. In these transnational, cosmopolitan, and artsy environments urban, nightlife, and organizational ethnography merge. Ambivalences, irritations and challenges are used as important research data, and for 'coming to terms' with the field.
Dr Luis Manuel Garcia-Mispireta, 'From Lone Raver to Team Member: Increasingly Embedded Ethnography in Berlin's Electronic Music Scenes'
Over more than a decade of fieldwork in Berlin's techno scenes, I transitioned from a solo "techno-tourist" raver to a deeply embedded member of a queer nightlife collective (room4resistance.net). This collective, in turn, has become embedded in "artivism" networks such as Berlin Collective Alliance and Whole Festival. In this Zoombar address, I will recount my experiences as a post-migrant, queer Latinx-Canadian researcher in a fieldwork environment that is both cosmopolitan and provincially white-European-and deeply ambivalent to outsiders ('sche*ße Touris').
Dr Stefanie Alisch, 'Teaching Methods of Music Ethnography in the Age of Digital Networking'
As visiting professor of ethnomusicology at Goethe Universität Frankfurt am Main during the second corona winter 2021/22 I taught a course called "Methoden der Musikethnographie im Zeitalter digitaler Vernetzung" to a group of BA and MA students. Most of the class meetings occured via video conference. The students - some joining from their childhood attic bedrooms in small German places, some recently moved to Frankfurt from different countries - designed, tested and adapted hybrid ethnographic research projects (Przybylski 2020). Students worked and re-worked their positionality statements and (re-)built relationships. They ran into frustrations and positive surprises while carrying out ethnomusicological studies on measures against misogyny in queer Frankfurt nightlife, on street music in Oldenburg or studied street musicians, Korean Christian service music, or community brass bands of the voluntary fire brigade. In this impulse I share how teaching this class and reading and commenting on students work opened up to me new perspectives on musical life and student aspirations in and beyond Frankfurt.
We look forward to seeing you at this exciting meeting.
All best wishes,
