UTOPIA: May the institutionalization of knowledge shelter theoretical and ethical
positions from the widest range of perspectives from above and below the Equatorial axis.
IDEOLOGY: What is the meaning of keeping knowledge institutionalized within
territories such as the international community of scholars, the Brazilianists, the
Americanists, the Latin-Americanists, and the native scholars?
CHALLENGE (statement): The continuing need to reconceptualize structures of
knowledge.
CRISIS: Is banana my business? The planet ghettofied Exoticist stereotypes associated
with music and music research are still plenty in international context, and have
frequently led to the assumption that any inclusion would only take place as much as the
center may have some interest in the cultural specificities of peripheries. Would the
global system of knowledge be doomed to remain ghettofied in case studies and
geographically-bounded communities of scholars?
CHALLENGE (question): How music research can respond to the recognition of the multi-
canonical musical reality (Robert Morgan, 1992), the poly-paradigm equilibrium
(Roberto Cardoso de Oliveira, 1998), and the advent of multiple reason (Ernildo Stein,
2001) in rethinking conceptual frameworks along with the continuing process of
institutionalization of knowledge?
