I was struck by the provocative poses of Cui Jian, who blindfolded himself with a red scarf - stunned by the images of the crowds attending his performance, images that were juxtaposed with accounts of the student protests of June 1989; and puzzled, as I, a rather distant observer, always imagined China to be a totalitarian regime with little room for dissident voices.

The term "world beat" was first used by the musician and DJ Dan Del Santo in 1983 for his syncretic hybrids of American R&B, URI : https://id.erudit.org/iderudit/1014442ar Afrobeat, and Latin popular styles. In contrast, the term "world music" was DOI : https://doi.org/10.7202/1014442ar coined independently by at least three different groups: European jazz critics (ca. 1963), American ethnomusicologists (1965), and British record companies (1987).

  • The Politics Underlying the Art Movements in China During Two Key Ten-Year Periods: {1945-1955 Liberation} and {1985-1995 Opening}
    The Politics Underlying the Art Movements in China During two key Ten-year Periods: {1945-1955 Liberation} and {1985-1995 Opening} by David Harrison O'Dell [email protected] www.texasdavid.com/export/index.html Under the mentorship of Dr. Janice Leoshko The University of Texas at Austin, Department of Asian Studies Research term: Beijing, CHINA 1995-1997 Written term: Beijing, CHINA 1996-1997 Added revisions / pictures: 2000 to present (Xiao Guo Fu, Morgan) 1 Politics behind the Arts in China – David O’Dell This thesis is divided into two chronological parts that I chose as representing modern Chinese art at its most vibrant. I state now that I don't see the Cultural Revolution as containing much positive influence at all; therefore I saddle my research periods before and after it. In my opinion it seems that more people find the Cultural Revolution, a period of warped societal possession, strikingly interesting, I however do not. I personally find the Liberation period of the 1940's-the spirit that drove a burgeoning young Communist party to fight for China's independence-contrasted with the New Reform period of the 1980's-the time in which the battle for artistic independence is waged while new technologies and new ideas are assimilated into everyday life-to be incredibly insightful and ripe with valuable lessons for tomorrow's China. Part One takes the Chinese art world of the Liberation period, art being a normally "qualitative" entity, and describes it "quantitatively" through the policies issued by the CCP that steered art's path during the years preceding and following Liberation.

  • An Ideological Analysis of the Birth of Chinese Indie Music
    REPHRASING MAINSTREAM AND ALTERNATIVES: AN IDEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE BIRTH OF CHINESE INDIE MUSIC Menghan Liu A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2012 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Kristen Rudisill Esther Clinton © 2012 MENGHAN LIU All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This thesis project focuses on the birth and dissemination of Chinese indie music. Who produces indie? What is the ideology behind it? How can they realize their idealistic goals? Who participates in the indie community? What are the relationships among mainstream popular music, rock music and indie music? In this thesis, I study the production, circulation, and reception of Chinese indie music, with special attention paid to class, aesthetics, and the influence of the internet and globalization. Borrowing Stuart Hall’s theory of encoding/decoding, I propose that Chinese indie music production encodes ideologies into music. Pierre Bourdieu has noted that an individual’s preference, namely, tastes, corresponds to the individual’s profession, his/her highest educational degree, and his/her father’s profession. Whether indie audiences are able to decode the ideology correctly and how they decode it can be analyzed through Bourdieu’s taste and distinction theory, especially because Chinese indie music fans tend to come from a community of very distinctive, 20-to-30-year-old petite-bourgeois city dwellers. Overall, the thesis aims to illustrate how indie exists in between the incompatible poles of mainstream Chinese popular music and Chinese rock music, rephrasing mainstream and alternatives by mixing them in itself.

  • Exploring the Chinese Metal Scene in Contemporary Chinese Society (1996-2015)
    "THE SCREAMING SUCCESSOR": EXPLORING THE CHINESE METAL SCENE IN CONTEMPORARY CHINESE SOCIETY (1996-2015) Yu Zheng A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2016 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Esther Clinton Kristen Rudisill © 2016 Yu Zheng All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This research project explores the characteristics and the trajectory of metal development in China and examines how various factors have influenced the localization of this music scene. I examine three significant roles – musicians, audiences, and mediators, and focus on the interaction between the localized Chinese metal scene and metal globalization. This thesis project uses multiple methods, including textual analysis, observation, surveys, and in-depth interviews. In this thesis, I illustrate an image of the Chinese metal scene, present the characteristics and the development of metal musicians, fans, and mediators in China, discuss their contributions to scene’s construction, and analyze various internal and external factors that influence the localization of metal in China. After that, I argue that the development and the localization of the metal scene in China goes through three stages, the emerging stage (1988-1996), the underground stage (1997-2005), the indie stage (2006-present), with Chinese characteristics. And, this localized trajectory is influenced by the accessibility of metal resources, the rapid economic growth, urbanization, and the progress of modernization in China, and the overall development of cultural industry and international cultural communication. iv For Yisheng and our unborn baby! v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First of all, I would like to show my deepest gratitude to my advisor, Dr.

Proposing a third term that operates beyond the dichotomy of high culture and mass culture and yet offers a fresh approach to both, these essays address a multitude of different topics that can all be classified as unpopular culture. From David Foster Wallace and Ernest Hemingway to Zane Grey, from Christian rock and country to clack cetal, from Steven Seagal to Genesis (Breyer) P-Orridge, from K-pop to The Real Housewives, from natural disasters to 9/11, from thesis hatements to professional sports, these essays find the unpopular across media and genres, and they analyze the politics and the aesthetics of an unpopular culture (and the unpopular in culture) that has not been duly recognized as such by the theories and methods of cultural studies.

  • Jazz in Beijing Royal Hartigan I Received an Invitation from the Beijing
    Jazz In Beijing royal hartigan I received an invitation from the Beijing MIDI Contemporary Music School to perform in their 2004 Music Festival on May 1-3. You can imagine how excited I and the members of my ensemble were. Even though I visited the school in 1999 and 2001 during the summer vacation, this time I hoped to not only witness the bustling activities of the music festival hosted by the school but also experience the close interactions among students, faculty, staff, and our ensemble members during our two-week residency from April 27 to May 10. After considerable planning with the MIDI School’s director, Mr. Zhang Fan, the four members of my group were able to arrive in Beijing from different cities and were met by representatives of the school. Ethnomusicologist Weihua Zhang also joined our residency as an assistant and interpreter. I had previously given a workshop in August 1999 on African rhythms for drumset at the school when it was located at Shangti, a northern suburb of Beijing. The students and faculty were very receptive at that time and were interested in my subsequent return to their community. In July 2001 I returned with saxophonist David Bindman and contrabassist Wes Brown, performing in the Beijing area, and we visited the school for an open rehearsal in its new campus near the Fragrant Mountain. It was there that we met Liu Xiaoguang, a composer, saxophonist, and pianist. Mr. Zhang Fan had arranged for Liu to join our ensemble for some of our performances. The Ensemble In our recent visit from April 27 to May 10, 2004, we had a very strong ensemble.

  • The Saxophone in China: Historical Performance and Development
    THE SAXOPHONE IN CHINA: HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE AND DEVELOPMENT Jason Pockrus Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 201 8 APPROVED: Eric M. Nestler, Major Professor Catherine Ragland, Committee Member John C. Scott, Committee Member John Holt, Chair of the Division of Instrumental Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music John W. Richmond, Dean of the College of Music Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Pockrus, Jason. The Saxophone in China: Historical Performance and Development. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2018, 222 pp., 12 figures, 1 appendix, bibliography, 419 titles. The purpose of this document is to chronicle and describe the historical developments of saxophone performance in mainland China. Arguing against other published research, this document presents proof of the uninterrupted, large-scale use of the saxophone from its first introduction into Shanghai’s nineteenth century amateur musical societies, continuously through to present day. In order to better describe the performance scene for saxophonists in China, each chapter presents historical and political context. Also described in this document is the changing importance of the saxophone in China’s musical development and musical culture since its introduction in the nineteenth century. The nature of the saxophone as a symbol of modernity, western ideologies, political duality, progress, and freedom and the effects of those realities in the lives of musicians and audiences in China are briefly discussed in each chapter. These topics are included to contribute to a better, more thorough understanding of the performance history of saxophonists, both native and foreign, in China.
