Title: Systematic Musicology and the History and Future of Western Musical Scholarship
Abstract: Systematic musicology is an umbrella term, used mainly in Central Europe, for subdisciplines of musicology that are primarily concerned with music in general, rather than specific manifestations of music. This article aims to explain the concept in English to international music scholars. Scientific systematic musicology (or scientific musicology) is primarily empirical and data-oriented; it involves empirical psychology and sociology, acoustics, physiology, neurosciences, cognitive sciences, and computing and technology. Humanities systematic musicology (or cultural musicology) involves disciplines and paradigms such as philosophical aesthetics, theoretical sociology, semiotics, hermeneutics, music criticism, and cultural and gender studies. The discipline of systematic musicology is less unified than its sister disciplines historical musicology and ethnomusicology: its contents and methods are more diverse and tend to be more closely related to parent disciplines, both academic and practical, outside of musicology. The diversity of systematic musicology is to some extent compensated for by interdisciplinary interactions within the system of subdisciplines that make it up (systemic musicology). The origins of systematic musicology in Europe can be traced to ancient Greece. Historical musicology and ethnomusicology are much younger disciplines, and the relative importance of the three has fluctuated considerably during recent centuries. Today, musicology's three broad subdisciplines are about equally important in terms of the volume of research activity. Ozet. Sistematik muzikoloji, muzi in belirli gorunumlerinden daha cok genel olarak muzikle ilgilenen muzikolojinin alt disiplinleri icin asil olarak Orta Avrupa’da kullanilan emsiye bir terimdir.
