ABSTRACT 抽象

This article argues that coloniality is an ongoing feature of university music education in Nigeria. It uses a multiple colonialisms framework in exploring Nigerian higher music education systems as historical and contemporary sites of colonialism within which Nigerian universities engage in music knowledge generation to reach this conclusion. It relies on information gleaned from scholarly sources. It shows that the dominance of Euro-American classical musical practice in bicultural university music education in Nigeria since 1961 has received little questioning. It identifies decolonisation as indigenisation, Africanisation, Islamisation, Nigerianisation and globalisation of university music education discourses as competing with this dominant paradigm. From the anti-colonial perspective, it argues that these six Nigerian music knowledge systems should not be simply celebrated, valorised and utilised. They should be critically engaged, interrogated, transformed, altered if necessary, and studied relationally, contextually and comparatively. Decolonising university music education in any society, it posits, involves centring music knowledge creation, understanding and sharing on multiplicity and entanglements.
本文认为,殖民主义是尼日利亚大学音乐教育的一个持续特征。它使用多重殖民主义框架来探索尼日利亚高等教育教育系统作为殖民主义的历史和当代场所,尼日利亚大学在其中从事音乐知识生成以得出这一结论。它依赖于从学术来源收集的信息。它表明,自1961年以来,欧美古典音乐实践在尼日利亚双文化大学音乐教育中的主导地位几乎没有受到质疑。它将非殖民化确定为本土化、非洲化、伊斯兰化、尼日利亚化和大学音乐教育话语的全球化,与这种主导范式竞争。从反殖民主义的角度来看,它认为这六个尼日利亚音乐知识体系不应该被简单地庆祝、重视和利用。他们应该批判性地参与、审问、改造、必要时改变,并从关系、背景和比较的角度进行研究。它认为,在任何社会中,大学音乐教育的非殖民化都涉及以音乐知识的创造、理解和分享为中心,以多样性和纠缠为中心。
