Abstract

In questo articolo, suggerisco che un cambio di paradigma provvisorio dalla disabilità come patologia alla disabilità come neurodiversità, ha il potenziale per ricollocare in modo produttivo gli orientamenti epistemologici della musicoterapia, sia come campo di indagine, sia come dominio di pratica. Dal mio lavoro sull’etnomusicologia dell’autismo, come anche dalla ricerca scritta e dagli studi sulla disabilità e sull’autodifesa autistica, traggo la proposta di come i fondamenti relativistici dell’etnomusicologia offrano un’alternativa potenzialmente utile e complementare ai fondamenti che dirigono trattamento di musicoterapia.
