| Title | Dialogue Across Performance, Education, and Artistic Research: the Interdisciplinary Approach of ‘Ex Chordis’ Journal |
| Format | Project presentation |
| Main language | English |
| Abstract | The study of bowed string instruments, despite their cultural significance, often remains confined to traditional disciplinary boundaries. ‘EC ⎻ Ex Chordis’, a peer-reviewed ANVUR accredited scientific Journal, addresses this limitation by creating an interdisciplinary platform that connects performance, education, and artistic research. Its purpose is to develop a holistic understanding of bowed string instruments by fostering dialogue across fields. The EC's main goal includes bridging musical practice, pedagogical traditions, and scholarly research, thereby expanding the field of bowed string instrument studies. Key research questions include: How can interdisciplinary approaches deepen the understanding of bowed string instruments? How can a dedicated platform connect the practical, educational, and academic dimensions of bowed string instruments? EC operates on the hypothesis that a Diamond Open Access format can encourage innovative research and amplify appreciation for bowed string instruments within musical and cultural discourses. Using a descriptive methodology, the Journal analyzes its aims, editorial policies, and Open Access model, which features a double-blind peer-review process. Its target audience includes researchers, educators, and performers from various disciplines interested in bowed string instruments. Aligned with international Open Science policies, including the Messina and Berlin Declarations and the principles of League of European Research Universities (LERU), EC promotes the widest possible dissemination of research. It seeks to challenge conventional analytical frameworks by uncovering connections between historical development, contemporary relevance, performance practices, and cultural narratives. EC aspires to be a key resource for the interdisciplinary study of bowed string instruments, fostering innovative research and providing new insights into their role in artistic contexts, while ensuring broad international accessibility. |
