Musicology: “Knowledge about the Lack of Knowledge” — Setting and Solving Problems
Abstract
The article is devoted to the relevant issue of chronotypology in 20th and 21st century art andits interpretation in philosophical-aesthetical and musical-artistic scholarship. Considering therapidly changing landscape of the contemporary humanitarian field, the author poses questions of reevaluation of both the basic scholarly concepts and newly introduced notions directed at the explanation of new and unusual phenomena of art. The work addresses the concepts andutterances of well-known scholars (including Victor Bychkov, Nadezhda Mankovskaya, YuriKholopov, etc.), as well as contemporary composers (Victor Ekimovsky, Vladimir Martynov, Anton Batagov, etc.). Special attention is paid to the discrepancies found in the interpretations of certainfundamental categories of art, which provide a general characterization of the present state ofmusicological knowledge. Questions of classification of the stages of artistic-aestheticalknowledge; questions regarding the lexicon of cultural and musical phenomena; questions of themethodology of studying new phenomena — this is the range of issues that require definitionand application of terms, appearing during the process of the development of contemporary art.
Keywords: musicology, chronotypology, avant-garde, modernism, postmodernism, postpostmodernism, metamodernism, aesthetics, lexicon of the nonclassics
