Abstract
This project aims to find methodologies and strategies for classification / declassification and communication that can respond to the needs of different agents and epistemological fields involved in the institutionalization of phonographic collections. Supported by the development of a concept of ecology of knowledge, the approach through ethnomusicology will be fundamental through the adoption of shared research practices. It will also serve as an epistemological platform to think about declassification in the face of the “digital ethnomusicology” paradigms (Hsu 2013). The project focuses on the analysis of collections institutionalized by the University of Aveiro, consisting of shellac discs, which are an information medium with a polysemic profile, often safeguarded by collectors. The “archive condition” (Garcia 2017) expands its plural value by simultaneously transforming it into a phonogram, a museum object and a document that can be investigated. In this “archive condition”, the articulation between the disciplinary domains at stake (archivism, museology, library science, musicology and ethnomusicology) and the interests of the agents involved (the institution, the researcher and the collector) creates two central interception plans for this investigation.
