FESCH, Gil. Towards an Ethnography of New Music: Prologue to a Research Project. Revista Crítica de Ciências Sociais [online]. 2016, n.109, pp.163-184. ISSN 2182-7435.  https://doi.org/10.4000/rccs.6260.

This paper presents a preliminary discussion on the theoretical foundations of an ongoing study. It begins by unravelling the initial approach to the subject of the study - the Casa da Música Remix Ensemble - then develops an analytical framework designed to capture recent transformations in the subfield of Portuguese contemporary music, as a means of enriching a much debated topic - the crisis in new music. It examines four fundamental strands: 1) a brief reassessment of the historic evolution of music sociology; 2) an outline of the theoretical model, based on the dialogue between the key concepts (field and art world); 3) a critical review of the specific literature and the role of ethnography; 4) a brief overview of the research topic and its specific objectives.

Palabras clave : contemporary music; Howard Becker (1928 ); Pierre Bourdieu (1930 2002); sociological theory; sociology of music.
