contents Technologies of Musical Knowledge in 19th Century Rio de Janeiro: The Viola Case Renato Moreira Varoni de Castro Arte viola Debret Rugendas historical (ethno)musicology technologies of musical knowledge This article discusses methodological strategies for dealing with historical sources in (ethno)musicology research. I name this approach “technologies of musical knowledge” and besides a review of the importance of technologies for the development of (ethno)musicology, I support my perspective through visual examples from my own investigation about the violas in nineteenth century Rio de Janeiro. I argue that despite the myriad of sources available, including iconographic representation (drawings and paintings), travelogues, chronicle and fictional literature, musical scores and tutors; their ethnographic information can only emerge out of a process of interpretation that involves a full assessment of the representational medium in which the data is presented. In other words, I defend that a thorough analysis and interpretation of musical documents depends on the awareness of the technological enablements and constraints in which the historical representations are inscribed. 2020 artículo científico 2250-7116 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=552963071018 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5529/552963071018/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5529/552963071018/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5529/552963071018/552963071018.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5529/552963071018/movil https://doi.org/10.34096/oidopensante.v8n1.7599 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5529 El Oído Pensante application/pdf Universidad de Buenos Aires El Oído Pensante (Argentina) Num.1 Vol.8
