I28-R145-7063_oai2025-11-17 Moore, Allan F. 2013-02-05 This article presents a methodology for the analytically-enriched discussion of meaning in recorded popular song. It argues for a middle way between assumptions of universal and entirely relativist meaning, based fundamentally on Gibson’s ecological psychology. It begins from the position that a listener encounters not a recording as communicable object, but a persona instantiated by a recording. Focus on the persona necessitates discussion of the personic environment constituted by the remainder of the musical fabric, and leads to a formulation of authenticity which acknowledges the weight put on this quality by many audiences. The paper then explores embodied meaning as a way of approaching the way that music feels, again acknowledging audience concern, and closes with a focus on the ecological position. Each of these stages in the argument is provided with a variety of illustrations. Este artículo presenta una metodología para el enriquecimiento analítico de la discusión sobre el significado en la canción pop grabada. Se argumenta, fundamentalmente a partir de la psicología ecológica de Gibson, a favor de un camino intermedio entre los supuestos universalistas y el significado exclusivamente relativista. Se parte de la posición de que un oyente no se encuentra con una grabación en tanto objeto comunicable, sino con una persona representada por una grabación –persona instantiated. La focalización en la persona requiere una discusión sobre el ambiente “persónico” –personic environment– constituido por el resto del tejido musical –musical fabric– y conduce a una consideración de la autenticidad que reconoce el peso que muchas audiencias le otorgan a esta cualidad. Este artículo, entonces, explora el significado corporizado –embodied meaning– como una forma de acercarse a la manera en que la música es sentida, teniendo en cuenta lo que a la audiencia le interesa, y concluye focalizando la perspectiva ecológica. Todas las etapas de la argumentación están provistas con diversos ejemplos. Este artigo apresenta uma metodologia para o enriquecimento analítico da discussão sobre significado no quadro da canção popular gravada. Defende a adopção de um meio-termo entre os pressupostos de significado universal e os de carácter totalmente relativista, com base, fundamentalmente, na psicologia ecológica de Gibson. Parte da asunção segundo a qual um ouvinte não se encontra com uma gravação enquanto um objecto comunicavel mas com uma pessoa moldada por uma gravação –persona instaciated. O enfoque na pessoa requer uma discussão sobre o ambiente persónico –personic environment– constituído pelo restante tecido musical e conduz à formulação de autenticidade reconhecendo o peso que muitas audiências atribuem a esta qualidade. Este artigo explora ainda o significado incorporado –embodied meaning– como um meio para abordar o modo como a música é sentida, sempre de acordo com a audiência, e finaliza focalizando a perspectiva ecológica. Cada uma das etapas do argumento é fundamentada com vários exemplos. application/octet-stream https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/oidopensante/article/view/7063 eng Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/oidopensante/article/view/7063/6318 El oído pensante; Vol. 1 No. 1 (2013): Febrero 2013 - Julio 2013 El oído pensante; Vol. 1 Núm. 1 (2013): Febrero 2013 - Julio 2013 El oído pensante; v. 1 n. 1 (2013): Febrero 2013 - Julio 2013 2250-7116 percepción ecológica significado corporizado persona ambiente autenticidad percepción ecológica significado incorporado pessoa ambiente autenticidade ecological perception embodied meaning persona environment authenticity An Interrogative Hermeneutics of Popular Song Una hermenéutica interrogativa de la canción popular Uma hermenêutica interrogativa da canção popular info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=eloido&d=7063_oai |

This article presents a methodology for the analytically-enriched discussion of meaning in recorded popular song.
