In this article, we analyze the corroborated transformations in the characteristics of musicians’ work in Brazil, from the beginning of the 20th century to contemporaneity. Concluded and on-going research and dialogue with scientific literature have supported the current investigation. In light of the reflections on the structural elements impacting the organization of the working activities of such agents, little autonomy is perceived in delimiting the organizational dynamics of work by musicians in the area, who are led to adapt themselves to economic, social and/or political demands during the different historical periods analyzed. Taking into account such adaptations, we propose a typology of three working forms recognized as distinctive – although not exclusive – of each of such periods: specialized work (from the beginning of the 20th century until, approximately, the 1980s); flexible work (end of the 20th century); and multitasking (beginning of the 21st century). Based on these reflections, we have verified a tendency towards increasing workers’ accountability for the processes and results of their work –from specialized to multitasking–, which represent a deterioration of labor conditions, and which are worsened in contemporary times by the digitalization of the production and consumption of musical activities. Therefore, there is a reality that contradicts the discourse of reinvention, constantly reproduced by agents and institutions linked to the musical field in order to emphasize the autonomy of musicians in conducting the transformations linked to their work practices. |

I28-R145-10477_oai2025-11-17 Requião, Luciana Heringer Costa, Rodrigo Heringer Costa, Rodrigo 2023-02-24 In this article, we analyze the corroborated transformations in the characteristics of musicians’ work in Brazil, from the beginning of the 20th century to contemporaneity. Concluded and on-going research and dialogue with scientific literature have supported the current investigation. In light of the reflections on the structural elements impacting the organization of the working activities of such agents, little autonomy is perceived in delimiting the organizational dynamics of work by musicians in the area, who are led to adapt themselves to economic, social and/or political demands during the different historical periods analyzed. Taking into account such adaptations, we propose a typology of three working forms recognized as distinctive – although not exclusive – of each of such periods: specialized work (from the beginning of the 20th century until, approximately, the 1980s); flexible work (end of the 20th century); and multitasking (beginning of the 21st century). Based on these reflections, we have verified a tendency towards increasing workers’ accountability for the processes and results of their work –from specialized to multitasking–, which represent a deterioration of labor conditions, and which are worsened in contemporary times by the digitalization of the production and consumption of musical activities. Therefore, there is a reality that contradicts the discourse of reinvention, constantly reproduced by agents and institutions linked to the musical field in order to emphasize the autonomy of musicians in conducting the transformations linked to their work practices. En este artículo, analizamos las transformaciones verificadas en las características del trabajo de los músicos en Brasil, desde principios del siglo XX hasta la contemporaneidad. Investigaciones concluidas y en curso, y el diálogo con la literatura científica respaldaron la investigación aquí desarrollada. A la luz de la comprensión de los elementos estructurales que impactan en la organización de las actividades laborales de dichos agentes, se percibe poca autonomía en la delimitación de las dinámicas organizativas del trabajo en el área por parte de los músicos, quienes se ven abocados a adaptarse a lo económico, social y/o a demandas políticas en los diferentes períodos históricos analizados. Teniendo en cuenta tales adaptaciones, proponemos una tipología de tres formas de trabajo que son características –aunque no exclusivas– de cada uno de estos períodos: trabajo especializado (desde principios del siglo XX hasta, aproximadamente, los años ochenta), flexible (finales del siglo XX) y multitarea (principios del siglo XXI). A partir del análisis realizado, se evidenció una tendencia a incrementar la rendición de cuentas del trabajador por los procesos y resultados de su trabajo –desde la especialización hasta la multitarea–, configurando un proceso precario que es potenciado por la digitalización de la producción y consumo de actividades musicales. Hay, por lo tanto, una realidad que contradice el discurso de la reinvención, constantemente reproducido por agentes e instituciones vinculadas al campo musical para enfatizar la autonomía de los músicos en la conducción de las transformaciones ligadas a sus prácticas laborales. Analisamos neste artigo transformações verificadas nas características do trabalho de musicistas no Brasil, entre o fim do século XX e a contemporaneidade. Pesquisas concluídas ou em andamento e diálogo com a literatura científica embasaram a investigação aqui empreendida. À luz da compreensão de elementos estruturais a impactarem a organização das atividades laborais de tais agentes, pouca autonomia é percebida na delimitação da dinâmica organizacional do trabalho na área por musicistas levados a se adaptarem a demandas de ordem econômica, social e/ou política nos distintos períodos históricos analisados. Como resultado de tais adaptações, propomos uma tipologia de duas formas de trabalho características –ainda que não exclusivas– a cada um dos referidos períodos: o trabalho flexível (fim do século XX) e o multitarefas (início do século XXI). Da análise empreendida, verificou-se uma tendência à crescente responsabilização do trabalhador pelos processos e resultados de seu trabalho, configurando um processo de precarização que é potencializado pela digitalização da produção e do consumo das atividades musicais. Observa-se, no entanto, uma realidade a contrariar o discurso da reinvenção, constantemente reproduzido por agentes e instituições vinculados ao campo musical no intuito de ressaltar a autonomia de musicistas na condução das transformações vinculadas a suas práticas laborais. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/oidopensante/article/view/10477 10.34096/oidopensante.v11n1.10477 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/oidopensante/article/view/10477/11251 Derechos de autor 2023 El oído pensante El oído pensante; Vol. 11 No. 1 (2023): Marzo 2023 - Septiembre 2023 El oído pensante; Vol. 11 Núm. 1 (2023): Marzo 2023 - Septiembre 2023 El oído pensante; v. 11 n. 1 (2023): Marzo 2023 - Septiembre 2023 2250-7116 mundo del trabajo músicos Brasil mundo do trabalho músicos Brasil Work world musicians Brazil “The Market Defines it”: Structure and Adaptation in the Working Dynamics of Brazilian Musicians at the Turn of the 20th and the 21st Centuries “El mercado lo define”: estructura y adaptación en la dinámica del trabajo de los músicos brasileños en la transición del siglo XX al XXI “O mercado define isso”: estrutura e adaptação na dinâmica do trabalho de músicos brasileiros na transição do século XX ao XXI info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=eloido&d=10477_oai |
