The essay topic"Ethnomusicology:How to Write about Music,Human,and Phenomena through Cultural Contexts"emphasizes on one hand the methodological approach of ethnomusicology centered around culture,and on the other,defines its research scope.Even as the discipline evolves,it maintains its hallmark trait established in the mid-20th century by scholars such as Konst,who combined ethnology with musicology,forming the discipline's methodological core focused on the interplay between music and culture.This includes an examination of how music is influenced by and in turn influences the"cultural complex";whether it is"music within cultural contexts,""music in culture,"or"music as culture."As a rational discourse in academic research,its foundation lies in creating music ethnographies through immersive fieldwork within a particular culture.Its scholarly pursuit is the capacity for"cross-cultural writing,"aspired through interdisciplinary exploration in social sciences,humanities,and biosciences.This article provides a concise overview of the field and,using the author's teaching experiences as examples,discusses"human-centered music ethnography"and its fieldwork,interpreting this method as an"ontological commitment"that transcends methodology.
