چکیده

Systematic musicology is an umbrella term, used mainly in Central Europe, for subdisciplines of musicology that are primarily concerned with music in general, rather than specific manifestations of music. This article aims to explain the concept in English to international music scholars. Scientific systematic musicology (or scientific musicology) is primarily empirical and data-oriented; it involves empirical psychology and sociology, acoustics, physiology, neurosciences, cognitive sciences, and computing and technology. Humanities systematic musicology (or cultural musicology) involves disciplines and paradigms such as philosophical aesthetics, theoretical sociology, semiotics, hermeneutics, music criticism, and cultural and gender studies. The discipline of systematic musicology is less unified than its sister disciplines historical musicology and ethnomusicology: its contents and methods are more diverse and tend to be more closely related to parent disciplines, both academic and practical, outside of musicology. The diversity of systematic musicology is to some extent compensated for by interdisciplinary interactions within the system of subdisciplines that make it up (systemic musicology). The origins of systematic musicology in Europe can be traced to ancient Greece. Historical musicology and ethnomusicology are much younger disciplines, and the relative importance of the three has fluctuated considerably during recent centuries. Today, musicology's three broad subdisciplines are about equally important in terms of the volume of research activity. Özet. Sistematik müzikoloji, müzi in belirli görünümlerinden daha çok genel olarak müzikle ilgilenen müzikolojinin alt disiplinleri için asıl olarak Orta Avrupa’da kullanılan emsiye bir terimdir. Bu makale, kavramı uluslararası akademik müzik ara tırmacılarına ngilizce açıklamayı amaçlar. Bilimsel sistematik müzikoloji (ya da bilimsel müzikoloji) aslen ampirik ve veri-yönelimlidir; ampirik psikoloji ve sosyoloji, akustik, fizyoloji, sinir bilimleri, bili sel bilimler, hesaplamayı ve teknolojiyi kapsar. nsan bilimleri sistematik müzikoloji (ya da kültürel müzikoloji) felsefi estetik, kuramsal sosyoloji, göstergebilim, yorumbilgisi, müzik ele tirisi, kültürel çalı malar ve cinsiyet çalı maları gibi disiplinleri ve paradigmaları kapsar. Sistematik müzikoloji disiplini, karde disiplinler olan tarihsel müzikoloji ve etnomüzikolojiye göre daha az bütünseldir: kapsamı ve yöntemleri daha fazla çe itlidir ve hem akademik hem de pratik olarak müzikoloji dı ındaki akraba disiplinlerle daha fazla ili kili olma e ilimindedir. Sistematik müzikolojinin bu çe itlili i bir yere kadar onu olu turan altdisiplinlerin sistemi içindeki disiplinlerarası etkile imlerle telafi edilir (sistemik müzikoloji). Sistematik müzikolojinin Avrupa’daki kökenleri antik Yunan’da bulunabilir. Tarihsel müzikoloji ve etnomüzikoloji çok daha genç disiplinlerdir ve bu üç disiplinin göreli önemi son birkaç yüzyıl boyunca önemli ölçüde ini li çıkı lı bir seyir izlemi tir. Bugün, müzikolojinin bu üç altdisiplini ara tırma etkinli inin hacmi anlamında hemen hemen e it önemdedir.

The discipline has lately challenged the aesthetic of musical canon, for many decades a largely uncontested phenomenon, as well as that of the Great Composer. Recent scholarship has similarly addressed the matt...
