| Resumo: | Through ethnographic research developed with luthiers and other types of musical instrument builders in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, this article presents a reflection on the concepts of technique, technology, musical instrument and music. Starting from an epistemological approach of the Anthropology of Technique and Technology, we seek to reflect on how Musical Sciences, understood as an area of knowledge production that concerns Music in its sound, epistemological and organological sense, can contribute in a peculiar way to the requalification of concepts used in other fields such as Philosophy and Anthropology itself. More than artifacts used to make music, we propose that musical instruments are categories of thought, which refer to a specific type of “technical object” or “thing” that is constituted in the flow of materials. |
