On Up-to Date Change of Paradigms in Music Research Methodology

Summary/Abstract: Nowadays, in the beginning of the 21st century we can assume as a hypothesis the following description of value structures and models in musical practice and the reflections on them: Classical (academic) music consciousness in its vertical monistic model: “high-low” is purged even at the end of the 20th century by a principally different and opposite in essence pluralistic horizontal model. In it we have an already equally represented by right parallel and coexisting local and branch paradigms, many of them consisting of “bloc” (meaning non-pyramidal) structure. In these paradigms the concepts of low and high levels and hierarchies are defined by their own auto nomous paradigmatic criteria in each of them and are complemented in a mosaic way in the whole picture of contemporary culture and cognition. The academic Eurocentric paradigm is naturally among them - still in its pyramidal structure and the already made comic pretensions of monopoly and centralization. But it is one of the many in a multitude. In the beginning of the 21th century this is a globalistic value and cognitive mental construct of the global village, which nowadays gradually engulfs in the virtual space some fragments of the local cultures and values of all continents.
