  • Internationalization, Regionalization, and Soft Power: China's Relations
    Front. Educ. China 2012, 7(4): 486–507 DOI 10.3868/s110-001-012-0025-3 RESEARCH ARTICLE YANG Rui Internationalization, Regionalization, and Soft Power: China’s Relations with ASEAN Member Countries in Higher Education Abstract Since the late 1980s, there has been a resurgence of regionalism in world politics. Prospects for new alliances are opened up often on a regional basis. In East and Southeast Asia, regionalization is becoming evident in higher education, with both awareness and signs of a rising ASEAN+3 higher education community. The quest for regional influence in Southeast Asia, however, has not been immune from controversies. One fact has been China’s growing soft power. As a systematically planned soft power policy, China is projecting soft power actively through higher education in the region. Yet, China-ASEAN relations in higher education have been little documented. Unlike the mainstay of the practices of internationalization in higher education that focuses overwhelmingly on educational exchange and collaboration with affluent Western countries, China’s interactions with ASEAN member countries in higher education are fulfilled by “quiet achievers,” mainly seen at the regional institutions in relatively less developed provinces such as Guangxi and Yunnan. This article selects regional higher education institutions in China’s much disadvantaged provinces to depict a different picture to argue that regionalization could contribute substantially to internationalization, if a variety of factors are combined properly. Keywords internationalization, regionalization, soft power, China, Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Introduction Resurgent regionalism in recent decades has created fresh challenges and prospects for new alliances (Hurrell, 1995; Jayasuriya, 2003).

  • Dr. John Gilbert MODERNIZING CHINA's MUSIC EDUCATION THROUGH TECHNOLOGY
    Thesis Sponsor: Dr. John Gilbert MODERNIZING CHINA’S MUSIC EDUCATION THROUGH TECHNOLOGY: A REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION by DAFU LAI Submitted as the partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts in Music Education Program Department of Music & Performing Arts Professions, the Steinhardt School of Education, New York University New York City April, 2006 Copyright © 2006 by Dafu Lai. All Rights Reserved. ii Abstract Music education technology is a new term in China, but it is growing in popularity. The development of music education technology in China has gone through the "Pre-tech Era,” the "Electronic Era" and is now heading toward the "Digital Era." Modernizing music education, that is, the use of modern technologies, such as digital audio, video or multimedia equipment and computer music software for music education in order to enhance teaching and learning, is an old dream for several music generations of China. After computer music and MIDI technology were introduced to China in the late 1980s, more and more people were involved in the field of music education technology. First in the two biggest cities, Beijing and Shanghai, then to the other major cities of China, most postsecondary music education institutions have built their computer music labs and began to offer technology-related courses in the past decade. The highly developing computer technologies, the popularity of Internet, as well as the government’s promotion, address the urgent needs of professions and music education technology. As a result, the Central Conservatory of Music, Shanghai Conservatory of Music, Wuhan Conservatory of Music and some major higher music institutions started to build their computer music major or relative programs.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Music and Language in the Strophic Singing of the Zhuang Minority in Southern China A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology by John Widman 2019 © Copyright by John Widman 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Music and Language in the Strophic Singing of the Zhuang Minority in Southern China by John Widman Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Helen M. Rees, Chair The Zhuang minority in Guangxi, China, are commonly celebrated for their “sea of songs.” While the epithet of being “good at singing and dancing” is an overused description applied to China’s fifty-five minorities, Zhuang do gather in parks during weekends and holidays and sing strophic songs outside their homes and on mountain tops to each other in annual festivals. Although a given geographic area typically features only one of these tunes, in many areas of Guangxi, these songs are the primary form of music-making. This kind of strophic singing, known throughout China as mountain songs (shan’ge), has a variety of names spread among the dialects of the eighteen million Tai-Kadai speakers who make up the Zhuang. The Zhuang who live along the Youjiang river valley call their traditional singing fien. However, the Zhuang do not typically refer to this kind of music as something that is sung, but rather something that is done. Youjiang Zhuang do (gueg) fun, business, travel, and fien. This linguistic sleight of hand indicates a significant difference in how a traditional Zhuang singer approaches music compared to most singers in Western societies.
