  • 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.

After the establishment of the People’s Republic in 1949, the government promoted public performances in a propaganda/persuasion media system; consequently, mass media started to play significant roles in reshaping aesthetic standards, performance practices, musical features, and meanings of the qin tradition. The mass media in China, however, went through a commercialization reform after the late 1970s and has shaped the current propaganda/persuasion model. This new media structure has hastened the emergence of new musical features and meanings of the qin in the commercial logic as opposed to the Party logic. Such interactions with technology have arguably constituted contemporary performance practices that have departed from traditional aesthetic standards held by literati practitioners who played the qin for self-satisfaction.

Professor Louise Edwards with her infectious enthusiasm first got me on track to begin a PhD and saw it all the way to completion. Along the road, she provided valuable feedback on drafts and encouraged me to partake in a variety of activities that benefited not just the project but my understanding of broader issues surrounding it. When Louise moved to Hong Kong, I was exceptionally fortunate to have on board the equally expert and energetic professor, Wanning Sun, who had just arrived at UTS. Wanning‘s expertise in Chinese media and identity was vital in helping me form the theoretical and analytical framework that became the backbone of this work.

First of all, I would like to thank my supervisors, Dr. Rosana Brescia and Prof. Sílvia Mateus. Sílvia was the first person I knew in Lisbon. She also was the first one whom approved me to access the PHD program. Throughout the three years of the doctoral period, the confidence Sílvia gave me encouraged me to surmount the physical, emotional and psychological discomforts to achieve the successes especially on my singing. The opportunities Sílvia offered me helped me to get stronger in singing, what I am more grateful for is that her motherly care. I frequently felt home when she asked me for the subtleties in life. I will always remember the Christmas dinner with her and her students. My academic supervisor, Dr. Rosana Brescia, the elegant, beautiful lady, a respectable, responsible and resourceful scholar, who has provided me with valuable guidance in every stage of the writing of the thesis. Without her enlightening instruction, impressive kindness and patience, I could not have completed my thesis. The idea of the QR Code is brilliant! Rosana’s keen and vigorous academic observation enlightens me not only in this thesis but also in my future study.

  • The Construction of National Identity Through the Creation of the National Singing Method in China
    The Construction of National Identity through the Creation of the National Singing Method in China LIU Yuan PhD University of Technology Sydney 2019 1 Production Note: Signature removed prior to publication. Acknowledgement I am grateful to those who have given me help for both of my research and my written paper. Firstly, I would like to thank my supervisor, Associate Professor Jingqing Yang, who always guided me to work on the right track and made my dream come true. Secondly, I would like to thank my co-supervisor, Associate Professor Chongyi Feng, who gave me valuable advice for my research. Furthermore, a big thank-you to Bei Huang and Xuefen Chen for providing precious research data for me. I am also indebted to my parents and many friends of mine: Annie Lee, Jian Chen, Tao Liu, Alex Zhao, Yunyu Zhou… They support me mentally and emotionally and encourage me to complete my work. My best wishes and regards for all of them! 3 Abstract The research aims at examining the creation of National Singing Method in modern China. It particularly focuses on the interaction between Western-trained professional musicians’ embrace of bel canto techniques, and the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) art ideology and its vision of new China and new Chineseness. Drawing on documentary sources, the thesis analyzes the political, social, cultural, technical and educational forces and elements that have jointly created the New National Singing Method as a prominent form of performance art. It is argued that the development of Chinese national vocal music has been driven jointly by the converged pursuit for the modernization of China and the creation of a new Chinese identity between the CCP and musicians and vocal artists.

Chapter 2: Genre and Classification §1 Chinese Popular Music My working definition of popular music hinges on its relation to the mass media, and on considering its emergence and transformations in tandem with the masses (urbanization, adolescence, yuppies) and the media (phonograph, radio, MTV, MP3, MySpace). This working definition will remain undeveloped, because I have chosen not to focus on dis- tinguishing popular music from other musics, but on subdivisions within popular music. However, this still involves addressing popular music’s appellation of the mass, the popu- lar and the People.1 I will discuss music and artists that I tentatively group under the labels sinified rock, fringe pop, and new folk. However, I hypothesize that rather than around genres Chinese popular is structured around the four organizational principles language-geogra- phy-ethnicity, generation, gender, and marketability. Is rock subversive, pop hegemonic, and folk conservative, and are these the right questions? Territories in Hyperspace
