调整音高：国际音乐交流项目中行动学习法的民族志探索

摘要

文章追溯了八年来“音乐与复原力”的发展历程，这是一个在黎巴嫩的巴勒斯坦NGO组织和一个意大利CBO之间的国际合作项目。目的是与黎巴嫩难民社区，为黎巴嫩难民社区建立音乐资源。在民族志学、社会学、心理学和社区音乐教育学的认识论支持下，本文作为对特定地缘政治和社会背景的多层次的有机体导向的回应，叙述和分析了该项目的发展，在这种情况下持续的监测和评估为项目的“基调”作出必要的“调整”。通过运用社会变迁理论（Theory of Social Change）框架下的行动学习法（Action Learning）范式，作者借鉴《音乐与韧性》所激发的经验和研究，找出一些与跨文化合作总体相关的“基本点”。
