  • Conference Abstracts
    SEMSCHC 2020 Abstracts Saturday, February 8 8:30-10:30 Session 1A: Queer Studies in Music (INTS 1113) Chair: Matthew Leslie Santana, UCSD Queerness as the Missing Note: The Agency of Gay Men Khrueang Sai Musicians through the Aesthetics of Naaphaat Music Nattapol Wisuttipat, UC Riverside Naaphaat is among the revered repertoire in Thai classical music. They are used in various contexts, most notably theatrical accompaniment and wai khruu, a teacher-honoring ritual. Because of its association with Thai cosmology, naaphaat operates within rigid conditions including strict ritual permissions and players’ identity. It is ideally performed by piiphaat ensembles, preferably with male musicians. In the past few years, however, the norms of naaphaat face an unprecedented development. The repertoire is increasingly played by an ensemble of string instruments that only performs secular entertainment music, and by gay musicians. This challenges not only the strict instrumental demarcation of naaphaat performance but also the binarily gendered practices behind Thai classical music. What does it mean for gay musicians to play such a highly regarded musical category on unconventional – or even incorrect – instruments? What are they trying to do? How might the sexuality of these musicians tell us about the underlying heteromasculinity in Thai culture? With these questions, I examine the aesthetics behind the nonconforming performances of naaphaat repertoire. Drawing on semiotics as filtered through Thomas Turino and queer theories through Gregory Barz, I argue that the performance is a site of non-heteronormative erotics and naaphaat an agentive tool for the gender nonconforming musicians to leverage their otherwise subversive sexuality. This paper is aimed to present a fresh but not new ethnomusicological perspective on identity politics to nuance the study of Thai classical music and to resituate the subject within contemporary discourse both in Thai and Southeast Asian Studies.

  • Remembering Hugh Masekela: the Horn Player with a Shrewd Ear for Music of the Day
    1/24/2018 Remembering Hugh Masekela: the horn player with a shrewd ear for music of the day Academic rigour, journalistic flair Remembering Hugh Masekela: the horn player with a shrewd ear for music of the day October 29, 2017 1.12pm SAST •Updated January 23, 2018 10.13am SAST Hugh Masekela performing during the 16th Cape Town International Jazz Festival. Esa Alexander/The Times Trumpeter, flugelhorn-player, singer, composer and activist Hugh Ramapolo Masekela Author has passed away after a long battle with prostate cancer. When he cancelled his appearance last year at the Johannesburg Joy of Jazz Festival, taking time out to deal with his serious health issues, fans were forced to return to his recorded opus for reminders of his unique work. Listening through that half-century of Gwen Ansell Associate of the Gordon Institute for disks, the nature and scope of the trumpeter’s achievement becomes clear. Business Science, University of Pretoria Masekela had two early horn heroes. The first was part-mythical: the life of jazz great Bix Biederbecke filtered through Kirk Douglas’s acting and Harry James’s trumpet, in the 1950 movie “Young Man With A Horn”. Masekela saw the film as a schoolboy at the Harlem Bioscope in Johannesburg’s Sophiatown. The erstwhile chorister resolved “then and there to become a trumpet player”. The second horn hero, unsurprisingly, was Miles Davis. And while Masekela’s accessible, storytelling style and lyrical instrumental tone are very different, he shared one important characteristic with the American: his life and music were marked by constant reinvention.

  • Drama THERE HAS BEEN a Decided Escalation of Black Theatre in This Country
    Chapter Fifteen ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT Drama THERE HAS BEEN a decided escalation of black theatre in this country. Theatre groups were moving away from the "traditional' Shakespeare theatre that has been holding stage all through the years. From theatre that spoke of their iUs and tribulations there evolved theatre that spoke to black people about ways and means that-could be employed to bring change to their situation. From theatre of hopeless murmurs it became theatre of determination - theatre that taught self-reliance and brought about a new awareness. Because of the new turn of events some theatre groups broke away completely from white management and patronage. Some groups like TECON even barred whites from attending their shows. On the Reef there was a big storm when Black and Blue was shown to white audiences first - the reason for the grumble being that this production was totally irrelevant and misplaced for a white audience. Black drama groups are catching on to the philosophy of Black Consciousness and Black Solidarity. This is the reason for productions like Requiem/or Bro/her X. The Coat and others in similar vein. Most drama groups are shedding the mantle of being mere entertainment and are now becoming agents of change.
