“…And while this case bears on practice in a study setting, the general aim is to achieve an effective control of mistakes in situ. Klemp et al (2008) have thoroughly illustrated and discussed this point in their analysis of successive takes of Thelonious Monk's ''In Walked Bud'' solo. What could have been considered a faulty note is quickly incorporated into the solo itself and set in the larger environment of the piece.…”

The present article advances the notion of musical topography to describe the engagement between a practitioner and the musical instrument, emphasizing its developmental character. From the point of view of semiotic anthropology, it is suggested that the development of such a practical engagement is guided by expressivity, and that the instrument appears not only as an extension of the body, but participates in the generation of a unitary field, where bodily motion, the instrument and the tonal space are intertwined. The development of lived musical practice draws its force from a situated tradition that consists of normative, structural and stylistic elements, and of a constellation of genres and values shaped and reshaped by generations of practitioners. Finally, it is emphasized that the notion of musical topography brings back to musical praxis its long neglected imaginative dimension.

“…Secondly, ingenuity is a distributed phenomenon, less the property of individual persons than a way to express our aesthetic appreciation for what a person does inside, across, and along unfolding environments of materials and other persons. We consider the children's performance to be a kind of jazz (Klemp et al, 2008). A performance can be called 'swinging' or described as 'got swing', and a jazz musician can be described as someone who 'can swing'.…”

“…The effectively static character of this professional model is quickly overwhelmed by the multiple feedback mechanisms that dynamic complexity throws up. A practice approach, on the other hand, is more situated, varied and improvisational (Klemp et al 2008). Knowledge is not applied "to" action, but is drawn upon, produced and used from within the situation at hand, allowing researchers and policy actors to better harness the emergent character of situational developments and outcomes (Axelrod and Cohen 2000;Cook and Wagenaar 2012).…”

Beyond “linking knowledge and action”: towards a practice-based approach to transdisciplinary sustainability interventions

2019

The imperative to "link knowledge and action" is widely invoked as a defining characteristic of sustainability research. The complexities of sustainability challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss mean that linear models of knowledge and action, where knowledge is produced first (by researchers) then "applied to" action (by policy actors), are considered insufficient. Researchers have developed more dynamic, open-ended and collaborative forms of policy engagement such as transdisciplinary and coproduction research. Although promising these approaches often remain captive to linear assumptions that hinder their transformative potential. We contribute by providing a relational model of knowledge and action rooted in contemporary practice theory. A practice-based approach suggests the primary task of participants in transdisciplinary interventions is to find workable solutions to situations of dynamic complexity that are fundamentally indeterminate and unpredictable. Knowledge is not "applied to" action, but drawn upon, produced and used from within the situation at hand, allowing researchers and policy actors alike to better harness the emergent character of situational developments and outcomes. A practice-based approach provides a conceptual language that captures the experienced complexities of intervening for sustainability, reconfigures the nature of "actionable knowledge," and identifies appropriate modes of evaluation for transdisciplinary and co-produced research.
