ICTM Abstracts Final2 ABSTRACTS FOR THE 45th ICTM WORLD CONFERENCE BANGKOK, 11–17 JULY 2019 THURSDAY, 11 JULY 2019 IA KEYNOTE ADDRESS Jarernchai Chonpairot (Mahasarakham UnIversIty). Transborder TheorIes and ParadIgms In EthnomusIcological StudIes of Folk MusIc: VIsIons for Mo Lam in Mainland Southeast Asia ThIs talk explores the nature and IdentIty of tradItIonal musIc, prIncIpally khaen musIc and lam performIng arts In northeastern ThaIland (Isan) and Laos. Mo lam refers to an expert of lam singIng who Is routInely accompanIed by a mo khaen, a skIlled player of the bamboo panpIpe. DurIng 1972 and 1973, Dr. ChonpaIrot conducted fIeld studIes on Mo lam in northeast Thailand and Laos with Dr. Terry E. Miller. For many generatIons, LaotIan and Thai villagers have crossed the natIonal border constItuted by the Mekong RIver to visit relatIves and to partIcipate In regular festivals. However, ChonpaIrot and Miller’s fieldwork took place durIng the fInal stages of the VIetnam War which had begun more than a decade earlIer. DurIng theIr fIeldwork they collected cassette recordings of lam singIng from LaotIan radIo statIons In VIentIane and Savannakhet. ChonpaIrot also conducted fieldwork among Laotian artists living in Thai refugee camps. After the VIetnam War ended, many more Laotians who had worked for the AmerIcans fled to ThaI refugee camps. ChonpaIrot delIneated Mo lam regIonal melodIes coupled to specIfic IdentItIes In each locality of the music’s origin. He chose Lam Khon Savan from southern Laos for hIs dIssertation topIc, and also collected data from senIor Laotian mo lam tradItion-bearers then resIdent In the United States and France. These became his main informants. Since 1990, Chonpairot has worked wIth ten doctoral students to contInue collectIng music and related materIals from northern, central, and southern Laos. The students have wrItten theIr dIssertatIons about thIs musIc, and as the collectIon grew, so the group’s fIndIngs led to further investigations about cultural roots and orIgIns. ChonpaIrot’s fIeldwork Is remembered as one of the very first scholarly projects of Its types In Laos, ICTM 45th World Conference: Abstracts 2 and Its contInuatIon has now been goIng on, consIstently, for almost fIfty years. HIs work deals wIth the survival of a tradItIonal style of performIng art, Mo lam, and Its artIsts durIng a crItIcal perIod of adaptatIon and migratIon Into new settlements. In the context of thIs paper, “transborder” refers to Chonpairot’s IntersectIng experIences crIsscrossIng Thailand, Laos the UnIted States and France. He Is an Isan-born academIc and performIng artIst, but combInes these IdentItIes wIth a supportIve knowledge of Western musIcal theory and practIce. In thIs paper, he presents his research on Mo lam as a new paradIgm for ethnomusIcological studIes of tradItIonal musIc. Biography Dr. JarernchaI ChonpaIrot Is AssIstant Professor In the College of MusIc at Mahasarakham UnIversIty, ThaIland. He completed hIs doctoral degree In ethnomusIcology at Kent State UnIversIty, USA, based on fIeldwork In Laos. He was one of the FoundIng Board Members of AsIa PacIfIc SocIety for EthnomusIcology. The SocIety was establIshed In 1985 to advance the needs of AsIan ethnomusIcologIsts, and he currently (2018–2019) serves as Its elected presIdent. As a pIoneerIng ethnomusIcologist In Thailand, ChonpaIrot founded a musIc program at Sri NakarinwIrot UnIversIty, Mahasarakham Campus. ThIs program Is dedIcated to traInIng young ethnomusIcologists In the fIeld, and sInce 1963 he has led generatIons of students on fIeldwork trIps throughout East and Southeast Asia (ChIna, Vietnam, CambodIa, Laos, MalaysIa, SIngapore, IndonesIa, PhIlIppInes, and Myanmar). HIs work contrIbutes to the safeguardIng of the dIsappearIng cultural herItage—a herItage that Is being affected by the ethnIc and polItIcal conflIcts across the region—and he Is also known for hIs work on formulating relationshIps between musIcIans and academIcs. ChonpaIrot co-authored A History of Siamese Music Reconstructed from Western Documents, 1505-1932 (Royal AsIatic SocIety, 1994) wIth Professor Terry E. Miller. He has publIshed artIcles In The Journal of the Siam Society, Asian Music and Theater Journal—the last about hIs research on the shadow puppet theatre of Northeast ThaIland. He Is also a musIcIan known for his versatIle playing of all kinds of Isan folk musIcal Instruments, and especIally for hIs ImprovIsational skIlls on the khaen panpipes. 3 Thursday, 12 July IB01 EFFECTS OF ICH Chair: Suraya Agayeva Rachel Harris (SOAS, UnIversIty of London). Intangible Cultural Heritage in China and Kazakhstan: RevItalIzIng the Uyghur Meshrep Among the Uyghurs, a TurkIc MuslIm mInorIty people lIvIng on the borders of northwest China and Central AsIa, meshrep festive gatherings play a promInent role In modern ImagInings of natIonal IdentIty, and In local practIces of community making. Meshrep are sItes for acts of recIprocIty, for the transmIssIon of socIal rules and norms, and contexts wIthIn whIch communIty Is enacted through forms of expressive culture IncludIng music, dancIng, jokIng, relIgIous sermons, and an Informal communIty court. Meshrep in China were placed on UNESCO’s List of Intangible Cultural HerItage In Need of Urgent SafeguardIng In 2010. ThIs paper dIscusses an alternatIve approach to thIs Item of Intangible cultural herItage based on a research project currently underway In Kazakhstan, whIch Is supported by the British Academy SustaInable Development Fund. The project was conceIved, developed and Implemented In collaboratIon wIth Uyghur communIty leaders, academIcs and musicians. Key to Its approach Is a move away from the common emphasIs on showcasIng herItage at natIonal and international level in the form of staged song and dance performance. Instead, the project focuses on the role of expressive culture as socially embedded practIce, and approaches revItalIzing meshrep withIn the margInalIzed Uyghur communItIes of Kazakhstan wIth vIew to strengthenIng communIty organIzatIon by restorIng the role of Meshrep as a medIum for forgIng lasting bonds wIthIn the communIty, a mechanIsm for the transmIssIon of language and expressIve culture, and a forum for dIscussIon, planning and socIal actIon. Here, I discuss the consultative process of drawIng up the project proposal, the early stages of the ImplementIng the project, and the challenges of development projects workIng wIth mInorIty peoples who Inhabit sensItIve border regIons. Marílio Wane (UnIversIdade Nova de LIsboa). EvaluatIng the SafeguardIng ActIon Plan for Timbila Timbila is an expressive practice of the Chopi people, rooted In the south of MozambIque. In 2005, it was proclamated as a MasterpIece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of the Humanity by UNESCO. As a recommendatIon of the 2003 UNESCO ConventIon, perIodical research or InventorIes must be carrIed out to evaluate the sItuation and Implement the Action Plan. ICTM 45th World Conference: Abstracts 4 FollowIng thIs, In October of 2016, 11 years after the proclamatIon, the MozambIque government requested the Institute for Social and Cultural Research (ARPAC) to create an Inventory of the IntangIble herItage of QuIssIco VIllage, the admInIstratIve centre for Zavala DistrIct, whIch Is considered the homeland of the Chopi. Despite the lImIts of this kInd of research, Important data was collected and It was possible to get IndIcatIons of the state of timbila practIce nowadays. BesIdes many other concerns, the scarcity of mwenje wood to produce xylophone keys rIsks the extInction of instrument construction, and was mentIoned by many practItIoners as a huge diffIculty in ensuring sustaInabIlIty, “authentIcIty” and “orIgInalIty”. Based on the ActIon Plan, IntervIews and ethnography carrIed out for the inventory (as a researcher for ARPAC), and considerIng my prevIous research about the cultural polIcies around timbila, I argue that the low level of partIcIpatIon among practItIoners In the Safeguarding Plan Is the orIgIn of thIs and other related dIfficulties faced by the retainers of thIs cultural expressIon. IB02 NARCO MUSIC Chair: Deise Lucy Oliveira Montardo Helena Simonett (Lucerne UnIversIty of ApplIed ScIences and Arts). Popular MusIc and MobIle IdentItIes: AlternatIve DefInItIons of NatIonal BelongIng DespIte the many measures taken by the MexIcan state to curb narco-musIc, the genre has been receIved Into a new and enlarged cultural realm vIa networks of transnatIonal mIgratIon, consumptIon, and communicatIon. Narco-cultural expressions are consistent wIth the logIc of globalIzatIon and the kInd of mobIle identIties that emerge under Its Influence. As such, narco- musIc Is a postmodern expressIon par excellence, an aesthetIc productIon that has become Integrated Into commodIty production generally—a productIon that escapes the natIon-state’s control. ThIs latest stage of capItalIsm, accordIng to Jameson (1991), Is characterIzed by the growth of multInatIonal corporatIons, a new InternatIonal dIvIsIon of labor, the explosIon of fInancIal markets and communIcatIon medIa across natIonal borders, and the declIne of traditIonal workIng-class movements. It also calls into question the nation-state and Its once central role In the defInItIon of MexIcanIdad. Narco-musIc’s popularIty exposes the faIlure of the MexIcan state to successfully combat drug traffIckIng and organIzed crIme. Moreover, the exIstence of a thrIvIng transnatIonal narco-culture poInts to 5 Thursday, 12 July the very corruption, conspIracy, crisIs, and collapse of state order, and reflects

  • A Delicate Balance Negotiating Isolation and Globalization in the Burmese Performing Arts Catherine Diamond
    A Delicate Balance Negotiating Isolation and Globalization in the Burmese Performing Arts Catherine Diamond If you walk on and on, you get to your destination. If you question much, you get your information. If you do not sleep and idle, you preserve your life! (Maung Htin Aung 1959:87) So go the three lines of wisdom offered to the lazy student Maung Pauk Khaing in the well- known eponymous folk tale. A group of impoverished village youngsters, led by their teacher Daw Khin Thida, adapted the tale in 2007 in their first attempt to perform a play. From a well-to-do family that does not understand her philanthropic impulses, Khin Thida, an English teacher by profession, works at her free school in Insein, a suburb of Yangon (Rangoon) infamous for its prison. The shy students practiced first in Burmese for their village audience, and then in English for some foreign donors who were coming to visit the school. Khin Thida has also bought land in Bagan (Pagan) and is building a culture center there, hoping to attract the street children who currently pander to tourists at the site’s immense network of temples.

  • A Comparative Analysis of Chinese Immigrant Parenting in the United States and Singapore
    genealogy Article Challenges and Strategies for Promoting Children’s Education: A Comparative Analysis of Chinese Immigrant Parenting in the United States and Singapore Min Zhou 1,* and Jun Wang 2 1 Department of Sociology, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1551, USA 2 School of Social Sciences, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore 639818, Singapore; WANG1078@e.ntu.edu.sg * Correspondence: mzhou@soc.ucla.edu Received: 18 February 2019; Accepted: 11 April 2019; Published: 15 April 2019 Abstract: Confucian heritage culture holds that a good education is the path to upward social mobility as well as the road to realizing an individual’s fullest potential in life. In both China and Chinese diasporic communities around the world, education is of utmost importance and is central to childrearing in the family. In this paper, we address one of the most serious resettlement issues that new Chinese immigrants face—children’s education. We examine how receiving contexts matter for parenting, what immigrant parents do to promote their children’s education, and what enables parenting strategies to yield expected outcomes. Our analysis is based mainly on data collected from face-to-face interviews and participant observations in Chinese immigrant communities in Los Angeles and New York in the United States and in Singapore. We find that, despite different contexts of reception, new Chinese immigrant parents hold similar views and expectations on children’s education, are equally concerned about achievement outcomes, and tend to adopt overbearing parenting strategies. We also find that, while the Chinese way of parenting is severely contested in the processes of migration and adaptation, the success in promoting children’s educational excellence involves not only the right set of culturally specific strategies but also tangible support from host-society institutions and familial and ethnic social networks.

  • Gamelan Gender Wayang of Bali: Form and Style
    ..................~~.~.~.. ~------------------ WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY Gamelan Gender Wayang of Bali: Form and Style by Kalafya Brown A thesis submitted to the facuIty of Wesleyan University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music May, 2000 Middletown, Connecticut My teacher, Kak Luweng, and myself playing gender (above) and just sitting (below), 2 Introduction and Acknowledgements I began studying gamelan music in 1994 while I was an undergraduate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. No one tends offhand to associate gamelan with MIT. but there it is. Professor Evan Ziporyn has been directing the gong kebyar ensemble Gamelan Galak Tika at MIT since 1993, and I was an active member from 1994 until 1997. Unfortunately the pressure of my studies at Wesleyan has not allowed me to play with Galak Tika as much as I would like in the past few years. For the three years of my tenure with Galak Tika we were blessed with the artistry of the Balinese husband and wife team of I Nyoman Catra and Desak Made Suarti Laksmi. The magnificent teaching and performance prowess of Evan, Catra and Desak formed the basis of my introduction to gamelan music. In 1997 I came to Wesleyan University to study for the degree of Master of Arts in Music, of which this thesis is a part. Here at Wesleyan I have had the great honor of studying with I. M. Harjito and Sumarsam, two Javanese artists. I sincerely thank them for broadening my awareness of the multifaceted natures of Indonesian music and for sharing with me the great beauty of the central Javanese court gamelan.

  • Exploring Aspects of Korean Traditional Music in Young Jo Lee's
    EXPLORING ASPECTS OF KOREAN TRADITIONAL MUSIC IN YOUNG JO LEE’S PIANO HONZA NORI Jin Kim, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2013 APPROVED: Adam Wodnicki, Major Professor Elvia Puccinelli, Committee Member Joseph Banowetz, Committee Member Steven Harlos, Chair of the Division of Keyboard Studies John Murphy, Interim Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Kim, Jin. Exploring Aspects of Korean Traditional Music in Young Jo Lee’s Piano Honza Nori. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2013, 29 pp., 4 tables, 9 figures, 13 musical examples, bibliography, 32 titles. Since the 1960s, several gifted Korean composers, including perhaps most notably Young Jo Lee (b. 1943), have been internationally acclaimed for their work. In Western countries, however, there has been a scarcity of academic studies examining the artistry of the music of these Korean composers. Nonetheless, as one of today’s most recognized composers in Korea, Young Jo Lee has been invited to numerous international concerts, conferences, and festivals where his works have been played and discussed. A salient feature of his compositions is the fusion of Korean traditional music and the elements of Western compositions, such as in, for one distinctive example, his piano composition, Piano Honza Nori. This musical study describes and analyzes how Lee integrates Korean traditional elements with Western musical ideas in Piano Honza Nori. Results of this study will contribute to the limited literature on the analysis of contemporary piano composition that integrates Korean traditional elements.

  • Contact Languages: Ecology and Evolution in Asia
    This page intentionally left blank Contact Languages Why do groups of speakers in certain times and places come up with new varieties of languages? What are the social settings that determine whether a mixed language, a pidgin, or a Creole will develop, and how can we under- stand the ways in which different languages contribute to the new grammar? Through the study of Malay contact varieties such as Baba and Bazaar Malay, Cocos Malay, and Sri Lanka Malay, as well as the Asian Portuguese ver- nacular of Macau, and China Coast Pidgin, the book explores the social and structural dynamics that underlie the fascinating phenomenon of the creation of new, or restructured, grammars. It emphasizes the importance and inter- play of historical documentation, socio-cultural observation, and linguistic analysis in the study of contact languages, offering an evolutionary frame- work for the study of contact language formation – including pidgins and Creoles – in which historical, socio-cultural, and typological observations come together. umberto ansaldo is Associate Professor in Linguistics at the University of Hong Kong. He was formerly a senior researcher and lecturer with the Amsterdam Center for Language and Communication at the University of Amsterdam. He has also worked in Sweden and Singapore and conducted fieldwork in China, the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Christmas Island, and Sri Lanka.
