热烈祝贺国际传统音乐学会（ICTM）“东亚音乐研究小组”成立

据悉，在于澳大利亚举行并刚结束的国际传统音乐学会（ICTM）理事会上，“东亚音乐研究小组”获得了理事会的正式批准。

在第38届的国际传统音乐学会（ICTM）会员大会（2005年8月于英国Sheffield大学举办）中，包括日本 Tsukada Kenichi 、韩国 Sheen Dae-Cheol 、大陆萧梅、美国 Nara Yeh、香港的J. Lawrence WITZLEBEN及台湾蔡灿煌在内的许多学者均一致认为：相较于世界上的其它地区，东亚地区的学者因为英语沟通阻碍的缘故，鲜少参与国际性音乐学术会议，这些学者的研究成果也因而相对较少被注意及重视；是故由前述学者共同提议，在ICTM的架构下成立【东亚音乐研究小组】（East Asian Music Study Group），以促进亚洲地区音乐学者相互间的交流，并进一步共同参与国际学界的讨论及交流。

2006年8月31日至9月2日，该研究小组筹备委员会在台湾宜兰举办了题为“东亚音乐与现代性”的学术会议。上海音乐学院副院长杨燕迪教授应邀参加了这次大会并发表了学术论文。

目前，该研究小组正式得到ICTM的批复，与此同时，“东亚古谱学研究小组”也以东亚音乐研究小组分组形式成立。这为东亚地区传统音乐研究的喜事、幸事，它们将促进该地区传统音乐研究的深入和发展，也将为东亚地区的学者提供参与国际交流的平台。

就此，东亚音乐研究小组执行委员会特别希望本地区的学者，特别是年轻学者的参与。在刚结束的“东亚音乐与现代性”的学术会议上，专门设立了青年学生参会论文的奖项。

以下为东亚音乐研究小组的《宣言》

STUDY GROUP FOR MUSICS OF EAST ASIA

MISSION STATEMENT

MISSION

The mission of the Study Group is to provide a forum for ICTM members from all parts of the world who share an interest in the music of East Asia, broadly defined musically and geographically, including East Asian music in the diaspora as well as indigenous, transplanted, and syncretic music within East Asian countries. Other performing arts related to music will also be part of the subjects of study.

BACKGROUND

At the 38th Conference of the International Council for Traditional Music, held in Sheffield, August 2005, scholars from various East Asian countries discussed the need for a study group for musicologists working on East Asian musics. Following this discussion and subsequent email correspondences, a conference on East Asian Music and Modernity was held from August 31 to September 2, 2006 in I-Lan, Taiwan, with over 100 participants and 34 paper presenters from Taiwan, Korea, Japan, China, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, England, the USA, Austria, the Netherlands, and elsewhere. During a roundtable meeting at this conference, those present agreed to submit a proposal to the ICTM requesting to form a study group. The program committee members and two co-opted members were commissioned to serve as an interim Executive Board. This includes ten members from various countries, with Ying-fen Wang chosen as the Acting Liaison Officer; procedures for formal elections will be established before the Study Group’s next meeting.

It was decided at this meeting that the Study Group will be as inclusive as possible and welcomes members from all regions. However, it also has a special mission to increase communication and interaction among scholars working in East Asia. The musics of East Asia have long been established in practice and study. However, many scholars in Asia, otherwise worthy researchers in their native fields, are hindered by language difficulties and may therefore refrain from attending international conferences. This lack of participation on the international stage has inadvertently led to an overlooking of indigenous East Asian scholarly research on music. The formation of the Study Group will hopefully address these issues, provide a friendly and low-pressure environment for East Asian scholars to present their work in English, and encourage greater exchanges of ideas both within East Asia and between scholars in the region and those elsewhere. Special efforts will also be made to encourage student participation.

AIMS

To hold meetings every other year, in between ICTM world conferences.
To provide a website and circulars to increase communication among members of the Study Group.
To produce publications as a result of the Study Group’s meetings or joint projects.
