Summary/Abstract: The paper seeks to give retrospectively in broad strokes the research activities at the Institute of Musicology in the 1970s and 1980s (until it merged with the Institute of Art Studies). Methodologically, the article draws on ideas and terms of social studies and theory of culture and empirically, on the work on the many volumed History of Bulgarian Musical Culture. The term ‘community’ is treated in the light of the opposition between the terms ‘community’ and ‘society’ proposed by Ferdinand Tönnies. Arguments in favour of the thesis that the Institute of Art Studies is a centre of musicology in Bulgaria are found in the manner 118 of functioning inherent to any community and determining both its productivity and the deficiencies marking its public discourse.
