In my case, the intellectual adventure and scholarly training that culminated in this writing represent my first major step as an academic, and I owe many thanks to my professors and mentors who have guided me along the way (thus jump-starting my “basement residency”) as well as those whose love and care have helped me through the process. I am grateful first and foremost for words of guidance and encouragement from Dr. Robert Walser, my advisor and defense committee chair. The members of the committee, Drs. Francesca Brittan, William Deal, and Susan McClary, provided not only advice and direction for the research and writing for this project, but also insights and encouragement that helped me grow as a writer, teacher, and scholar at times when graduate school seemed an endless and futile struggle. I extend my warm thanks to my army of knowledgeable and inquiring readers. My colleagues at Case Western Reserve University spent many hours reading and critiquing portions of this project, and the members of the Southwest Popular/American Culture Association (SWPACA) heard an early version of Chapter 3 at their annual meeting in February 2017. I am grateful for their warm reception and insightful feedback. 1 Roger Rosenblatt, “The Writer in the Family,” The New York Times, 13 May 2012, p. BR43. viii The time and attention I devoted to research and writing meant I inevitably have had to divert the same from other aspects of life, most often at the expense of my family and friends. Many of them showed seemingly endless patience and grace when my hours were odd and my company may have been less than wholly present, and I am deeply grateful. Most importantly, this project would have not been possible without the unwavering support of my parents, who saw and encouraged the scholar in me before I saw him. I extend my deepest love and gratitude to them. ix My Song is My Power: Postcolonial South Korean Popular Music Abstract by JARRYN HA Ever since South Korea’s popular entertainment industry began to produce musical talents that appeared less than organic and self-made, questions about the legitimacy of those musicians have plagued the products, as they were, of the industry. Those questions concern less the mechanics of what constitutes a musician—a person who engages in music-making—and more the moral judgment that underlies music production, performance, and consumption, regarding what one should expect from a worthwhile musical act. The increasing exposure and popularity of a growing subset of Korean popular music branded as “K-pop” in the West invite the question: what drives so many musicians from South Korea to have constructed a musical tradition that so closely mirrors its Western counterpart yet seems different enough from the latter to attract curious foreign listeners? Questions like this are worth asking because the structure of the post-1990s popular entertainment industry of South Korea, conglomeratized and micromanaged, x effectively ensures that it produces nothing without first vetting and strategically crafting it. The outward-looking, arguably passive mode of reception and standard-setting, I theorize, largely stems from the country’s modern history of having foreign powers determine its political position and fate as a nation: first the Japanese during the colonial occupation that lasted from 1905 to 1945, then the American with their postwar military and cultural influx. This political and cultural climate forms a backdrop to the construction of Korean modernity as well as a Korean sonic national identity that musicians I discuss in this project construct. In this project, I present ways in which different historical and stylistic moments in Korean popular music—the love song (tŭrotŭ), rock of the 1970s onward, folk, and turn-of-the-century idol pop—exhibited what I call the foreign vogue, as well as how the television as the preferred medium for musical consumption reinforces its prevalence. Each instance shows musicians proactively engaging with expressive vocabulary available to them to construct a stylistic compendium and patchwork of meanings. 1 Introduction “But are they even real musicians?” One student in the back of the room scoffed in dismissal, following a presentation on the construction of gender ideals in K-pop. Far from uncommon in discourses about contemporary Korean popular music, the question implies not only scrutiny about musical authenticity but also a hierarchy present in popular culture: the notion that there is a class division (and, by extension, a moral one) of sorts, between music that one finds worthwhile and music that is cheap, inferior, or unworthy of attention and time. The construction of such ideals and institutions does not happen in a vacuum. In the case of contemporary popular music of South Korea, the postcolonial construction of the nation’s modernity following the Japanese occupation and the Korean War shapes the underlying values and ideals, and the structure of the entertainment industry gives rise to the institutional conventions and practices. Scholarly literature on postcolonial musics routinely points to the role of modern historical developments and the history of modernization in shaping the construction of cultural ideals as manifested in aesthetic and musical phenomena of many postcolonial cultures today.1 However, the increasing presence and relevance of South Korean popular music in soundscapes abroad notwithstanding—particularly the popularity of K-pop among young Western listeners—the scholarly literature on the music’s development that does exist rarely covers the musical and cultural choices that musicians make in various 1 See, for example, Moses Chikowero, “‘Our People Father, They Haven’t Learned Yet’: Music and Postcolonial Identities in Zimbabwe, 1980–2000,” Journal of Southern African Studies, vol. 34, no. 1 (March 2008): 145–60; Tariq Jazeel, “Postcolonial Spaces and Identities,” Geography, vol. 97, no. 2 (Summer 2012): 60–67; Godwin Sadoh, “Modern Nigerian Music: The Postcolonial Experience,” The Musical Times, vol. 150, no. 1908 (Autumn 2009): 79–84; Imani Sanga, “Postcolonial Cosmopolitan Music in Dar es Salaam: Dr. Remmy Ongala and the Traveling Sounds,” African Studies Review, vol. 53, no. 3 (December 2010): 61–76. 2 genres within Korea’s popular music as well as their implications. However, the upbeat idol pop that constitutes most of K-pop introduced to foreign listeners is only a small subset of the nation’s popular music output, and musicians employ vastly different sonic, compositional, performative, media-presentational, and commercial strategies according to what cultural capitals and affordances they deem desirable for their musical genre and style.

  • The Globalization of K-Pop: the Interplay of External and Internal Forces
    THE GLOBALIZATION OF K-POP: THE INTERPLAY OF EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL FORCES Master Thesis presented by Hiu Yan Kong Furtwangen University MBA WS14/16 Matriculation Number 249536 May, 2016 Sworn Statement I hereby solemnly declare on my oath that the work presented has been carried out by me alone without any form of illicit assistance. All sources used have been fully quoted. (Signature, Date) Abstract This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic analysis about the growing popularity of Korean pop music (K-pop) worldwide in recent years. On one hand, the international expansion of K-pop can be understood as a result of the strategic planning and business execution that are created and carried out by the entertainment agencies. On the other hand, external circumstances such as the rise of social media also create a wide array of opportunities for K-pop to broaden its global appeal. The research explores the ways how the interplay between external circumstances and organizational strategies has jointly contributed to the global circulation of K-pop. The research starts with providing a general descriptive overview of K-pop. Following that, quantitative methods are applied to measure and assess the international recognition and global spread of K-pop. Next, a systematic approach is used to identify and analyze factors and forces that have important influences and implications on K-pop’s globalization. The analysis is carried out based on three levels of business environment which are macro, operating, and internal level. PEST analysis is applied to identify critical macro-environmental factors including political, economic, socio-cultural, and technological.

  • Art to Commerce: the Trajectory of Popular Music Criticism
    Art to Commerce: The Trajectory of Popular Music Criticism Thomas Conner and Steve Jones University of Illinois at Chicago [email protected] / [email protected] Abstract This article reports the results of a content and textual analysis of popular music criticism from the 1960s to the 2000s to discern the extent to which criticism has shifted focus from matters of music to matters of business. In part, we believe such a shift to be due likely to increased awareness among journalists and fans of the industrial nature of popular music production, distribution and consumption, and to the disruption of the music industry that began in the late 1990s with the widespread use of the Internet for file sharing. Searching and sorting the Rock’s Backpages database of over 22,000 pieces of music journalism for keywords associated with the business, economics and commercial aspects of popular music, we found several periods during which popular music criticism’s focus on business-related concerns seemed to have increased. The article discusses possible reasons for the increases as well as methods for analyzing a large corpus of popular music criticism texts. Keywords: music journalism, popular music criticism, rock criticism, Rock’s Backpages Though scant scholarship directly addresses this subject, music journalists and bloggers have identified a trend in recent years toward commerce-specific framing when writing about artists, recording and performance. Most music journalists, according to Willoughby (2011), “are writing quasi shareholder reports that chart the movements of artists’ commercial careers” instead of artistic criticism. While there may be many reasons for such a trend, such as the Internet’s rise to prominence not only as a medium for distribution of music but also as a medium for distribution of information about music, might it be possible to discern such a trend? Our goal with the research reported here was an attempt to empirically determine whether such a trend exists and, if so, the extent to which it does.

  • Barbara Allen
    120 Charles Seeger Versions and Variants of the Tunes of "Barbara Allen" As sung in traditional singing styles in the United States and recorded by field collectors who have deposited their discs and tapes in the Archive of American Folk Song in the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. AFS L 54 Edited by Charles Seeger PROBABLY IT IS safe to say that most English-speaking people in the United States know at least one ballad-tune or a derivative of one. If it is not "The Two Sisters, " it will surely be "When Johnny Comes Marching Home"; or if not "The Derby Ram, " then the old Broadway hit "Oh Didn't He Ramble." If. the title is given or the song sung to them, they will say "Oh yes, I know tllat tune." And probably that tune, more or less as they know it, is to them, the tune of the song. If they hear it sung differently, as may be the case, they are as likely to protest as to ignore or even not notice the difference. Afterward, in their recognition or singing of it, they are as likely to incor­ porate some of the differences as not to do so. If they do, they are as likely to be aware as to be entirely unconscious of having done ·so. But if they ad­ mit the difference yet grant that both singings are of "that" tune, they have taken the first step toward the study of the ballad-tune. They have acknow­ ledged that there are enough resemblances between the two to allow both to be called by the same name.

Data collection is done by using an online questionnaire using Google forms. The statistical analysis used in this study uses SPSS and data analysis techniques in this study use the classic assumption test, multiple linear regression analysis, and hypothesis testing. It can be explained that the results of the analysis show that hedonic motivations and consumer attitudes has significant influential on purchasing decisions. Keywords: Consumer Attitudes, Hedonic Motivation, Purchase Decision INTRODUCTION The mushrooming of boyband’s or girlband’s concert tours in Indonesia shows that how much Korean music is more interested in this country compared to other countries' musicians marked by a Super Junior concert titled Super Show 4 on April 2012 in Indonesia that makes Indonesian music fans love them. Indonesia became a stop on their concert tour, such as BIGBANG, 2NE1, 2PM, to BTS. According to Franki Raden (2014) in (Zaini, 2017), the development of K-pop due to the availability of infrastructure and mechanisms, Korea has succeeded in instilling awareness of the importance of music in people's daily lives.

  • K-Pop in Latin America: Transcultural Fandom and Digital Mediation
    International Journal of Communication 11(2017), 2250–2269 1932–8036/20170005 K-Pop in Latin America: Transcultural Fandom and Digital Mediation BENJAMIN HAN Concordia University Wisconsin, USA This article examines the transnational popularity of K-pop in Latin America. It argues K- pop as a subculture that transforms into transcultural fandom via digital mediation, further resulting in its accommodation into Latin American mass culture. The article further engages in a critical analysis of K-pop fan activism in Latin America to explore the transcultural dynamics of K-pop fandom. In doing so, the article provides a more holistic approach to the study of the Korean Wave in Latin America within the different “scapes” of globalization. Keywords: K-pop, fandom, Latin America, digital culture, Korean Wave The popularity of K-pop around the globe has garnered mass media publicity as Psy’s “Gangnam Style” reached number two on the Billboard Charts and became the most watched video on YouTube in 2012. Although newspapers, trade journals, and scholars have examined the growing transnational popularity of K-pop in East Asia, the reception and consumption of K-pop in Latin America have begun to receive serious scholarly consideration only in the last few years. Numerous reasons have been explicated for the international appeal and success of K-pop, but it also is important to understand that the transnational and transcultural fandom of K-pop cannot be confined solely to its metavisual aesthetics that creatively syncretize various genres of global popular music such as Black soul and J-pop. K-pop as hybrid music accentuated with powerful choreography is a form of visual spectacle but also promotes a particular kind of lifestyle represented by everyday modernity in which social mobility in the form of stardom becomes an important facet of the modernization process in Latin America.
