Guilherme,

Obrigado pelo comentário! Gosto muito da comparação e, em particular, da
frase final, que coloco em itálico:

For example, lots of people like spicy food, including me. But I wouldn’t
> call someone misinformed for not liking spicy food, and just because that
> person dislikes a particular spicy dish, doesn’t mean that it’s not
> well-made. Dissonance in music is similar – some like it mild, others want
> a jar of hot sauce on hand at all times. Maybe this seems obvious, but the
> difference is that dissonance still offends people in ways that spicy food
> doesn’t. *No one insists that chefs should stop making spicy food, or
> that spicy food has ruined gourmet cuisine forever.*

O artigo de Georgina Born que enviei há algum tempo à lista, "For a
Relational Musicology: Music and
Interdisciplinarity, Beyond the Practice Turn" (*Journal of the Royal
Musical Association*, vol. 135, n. 2, 205-43), formula o problema em termos
mais eruditos:

[...] ethnomusicology has often joined musicology in contending that
> research on music must be founded on aesthetic advocacy of the music to be
> studied. As in musicology, this may entail a kind of entrancement by the
> musical object; but it also occurs when music acts for the
> ethnomusicologist as a synecdoche for a romanticized conception of the
> ‘people’, against any assumption of their cultural or musical inferiority.
> In contrast – and note here the tension between ethnomusicology and
> anthropology – anthropologists, despite adhering on occasion to a
> similarly romanticized understanding of non-Western peoples, are commonly
> *not* led to idealize their subjects since ethnographic fieldwork
> invariably demands that they confront the full spectrum of human behaviour,
> from the redemptive, creative and beautiful to the cruel, authoritarian and
> ugly. So if aesthetic advocacy appears characteristic of the humanities (I
> am always struck, for example, by the way colleagues in film studies will
> study only films that they intend to valorize aesthetically or
> politically), anthropology and sociology tend to start out when studying
> music, art or media from a value agnosticism – *start out* because, as is
> apparent in my own work, this does not obviate a later return to questions
> of value.

Abraço,
Carlos
