Quest about The Subject of Music Streaming Technology and Traditional music sharing community
Writer: © DahaKim 김다하
- Aim
This writing aims to write down a theoretical essay describing various kinds of “we” and “same mind” which think and act together. With the development of technology, particularly with sharing streaming technology, innate nature of human who helps and share feelings with neighbors would be more developed.
2. Question
To examine this hypothesis is true, I would ask these questions.
How do regional communities and the other stakeholders use Arirang folk song in a conflict situation, for a peaceful society?
As Korean society develops, the group cultures among younger generations become more isolated under the influence of the Corona pandemic and individualism. In this individualized culture, how can communities sustain inter- subjective characteristic in “living heritage” as a performative culture?
Each sub-group is comprised of many “fragmented selves.” Does the individual’s socio-economic class and status gap influence the experience of Intangible Cultural Heritage?
Does the representative song contribute to problem solving solutions in social division situations of South Korea? How different practitioner groups in South Korea use Arirang folk song?
As Korean society becomes more individualized with the development of social network technology, still musical heritage based on shared identities in communities work to mediate conflict situations in recent times?
How has the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on musical heritage in Korean Society changed the transmission of Arirang as a “living heritage” in daily life?To answer these questions I would adopt theory of scholar, thinker in eastern and western about the notion of “we”. In western, Husserlian Intersubjectivity theory would guide my research.
Rather than adopting phenomenological perspective, anthropological ideas would be adopted. Importance of intersubjectivity theory lies in its fundamental basis of social science. In studying human condition, using the theory can be the basis (Duranti, A., 2010). ‘Shared’ or ‘mutual’ understanding argumented by Husserl taken by Claude Levi-Strauss.
The reason why i’m recalling these western thinkers is for understanding eastern ethnic music, scholars better. In eastern, I would adopt thinker GongJa. He acknowledged higher class and those people should have honor for peaceful society. Higher classes of people are the one who can lead the others by studying and having technology.
When song mediate the relation, the one in the side of production and distribution is the subject. The development of song sharing platform(Spotify, Soundcloud, Genie, Vibe etc.) made people possible to be connected each other whether they are on the side of production or consumption side, whenever, wherever they are.
Share streaming technology would help song producers more actively. The technology would also help listeners for participating together, result in having shared mind as mediated by song.
In case of traditional song Arirang, if sharing streaming technology is mediated, it would produce more possibility for making shared mind.
But in receiving and giving help mediated by song, I would examine whether the sincere intersubjective relation is possible regardless of difference.
