This introduction provides context for the Society for Music Theory’s 2019 plenary session, “Reframing Music Theory.” These four papers together confront the frames of race, ethnicity, nationality, ability, gender, and sexuality that have bounded music theory and music theorists for generations, constraining what our discipline can be. They explore underlying reasons for the lack of diversity in the Society’s demographics and suggest ways that our research can be enriched when we embrace this diversity, to lead to a more equitable future.

命名塑造我们的框架

本介绍为音乐理论协会 2019 年全体会议“重构音乐理论”提供了背景信息。这四篇论文共同面对了种族、民族、国籍、能力、性别和性取向的框架，这些框架限制了几代音乐理论和音乐理论家，限制了我们的学科。他们探讨了学会人口统计数据缺乏多样性的根本原因，并提出了当我们接受这种多样性时可以丰富我们的研究的方法，从而实现更公平的未来。
