Process
实施步骤
-
第一阶段：理论课堂
在正式进入田野之前，项目将开设《如何进行田野调查》专题课程。授课教师将围绕音乐田野工作的基本方法与核心工具展开讲解，帮助学生建立进入现场前的基本认知框架。
-
第二阶段：田野实践
在完成理论导入后，学生将带着问题意识与方法准备进入真实的文化现场。项目将根据不同主题安排传习馆、博物馆、音乐表演现场、传承人工作空间或地方文化场域等田野地点。
在这一阶段，学生需要将课堂中学习到的观察、访谈与记录方法应用于实际情境之中。通过与传承人、表演者、音乐现场的接触，学生将完成从方法理解到现场经验的转化，初步建立对音乐作为文化实践的整体认识。
-
第三阶段：整理产出
田野结束后，学生将在指导教师的帮助下对所见、所闻、所记进行整理与转化。根据个人兴趣、学习目标与材料基础，学生可以进一步完成田野报告、研究札记、专题文章、短视频脚本或影像小片等不同形式的成果。
