| Popis: | This article aims to discuss the notion of music as material practice from a perspective of mediation theory. It attempts a non-reductivist understanding of the role of things and material settings for processes of human action and interaction in the context of musical events. Having considered Tia DeNora's micro-sociological reconceptualisation of Adornian materialism (DeNora, T. 2003. After Adorno. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press), it invokes perspectives from actor-network theory, drawing in particular on the contribution made to music sociology by Antoine Hennion and the sociology of associations advanced by Bruno Latour. Moreover, considerations of time and temporality are added by reference to Georgina Born's work on mediation in cultural production. On these grounds, a reinterpretation of DeNora's model for understanding musical events is proposed and explored through a case study of a particular instance of music making as material practice, namely the production of beats by a Danish hip-hop deejay, Thorbjorn Schwarz (aka DJ Static). |
