  • The Effects of Globalization on the Status of Music in Thai Society
    The Effects of Globalization on the Status of Music in Thai Society Primrose Maryprasith Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of London Institute of Education 1999 Abstract Globalization tends to be accompanied by two contrary processes: the one a celebration of newly opened international communications, the other, resistance to what is seen as an invasion of foreign culture. This research examines such processes in terms of perceptions of the status of music in Bangkok. The focus is on three main musical categories each of which, if vocal, uses Thai language in its lyrics: Thai classical, Thai country popular and Thai popular music. These musical categories, and the changing relationships between them, are examined in terms of three interconnected areas of perceptions of musical value: the position of music in education, the status of musical careers and the role of music in affirming national identity. Two sets of questionnaires were completed by 100 undergraduate students from 5 universities and 108 secondary-level school music teachers from 108 schools; and interviews were held with 10 respondents from 9 record companies. Whilst the students valued Thai classical music and country popular music as national symbols, they identified themselves with Thai popular music, which has become the main local musical product as a result of the globalization of the music industry. Contrastingly, the teachers understood Thai popular music as a capitulation to foreign culture. They used Thai classical music as the most common extra-curricular activity, but they nonetheless incorporated Thai popular music most often in classrooms. Careers involving Thai classical music were perceived as offering fewer rewards compared to other types of music.

  • The Thai Popular Music Industry
    THE THAI POPULAR MUSIC INDUSTRY: INDUSTRIAL FORM AND MUSICAL DESIGN NALIN WUTTIPONG, BFA, M Mus Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy SEPTEMBER 2011 o ABSTRACT Popular music, as it is generally defined in its commercial existence, originated in the West and has been widely discussed in Anglophone academia. One of the key means of approaching it is in terms of political economy, by viewing the culture industry essentially as a model of capitalism, with the purpose of maximizing profit [Bumett, 1996; Frith, Straw and Street, 2001]. The debates between political economists and other popular music scholars have predominantly taken as their subject Western popular music. Yet it is important to point out that whilst studies focused upon cultural industries outside of Western contexts have been few and far between, many have proved extremely fruitful and enlightening, exploring issues not considered in Western-centered accounts. This dissertation will attempt to examine and describe the causes and effects of corporate control over the major labels, which have been influential in the Thai popular music industry since 1982, when the first major label was established. Furthermore, this dissertation will argue that the popular music industry in Thailand presents something ofa variation on Adorno's theme of mass culture, replicating certain aspects of his description while also diverging in important ways. The study of the development of Thai popular music in this dissertation can be divided into five important periods: the Pre-pop Era (from the emergence of The Impossible to 1982) and the Pop Era (1982-1994), the Indie Phenomenon (1994-1997), the Major Retum (1997-2002) and the present day (2002 to today).

  • Toward a Revised Understanding of Young Children's Musical Activities: Reflections from the "Day in the Life" Project
    Toward a Revised Understanding of Young Children's Musical Activities: Reflections from the "Day in the Life" Project Susan Young and Julia Gillen Introduction: Versions of Musical Childhoods The tradition of developmental psychology has been of fundamental im­ portance in providing versions of musical childhoods, particularly for the earliest years of childhood. However, in its focus on the individual child and in its search for musical behaviors assumed to be common across all children, developmental psychology has tended to be insufficiently interested in wider cultural processes. At the same time, the disciplines of ethnomusicology, the sociology of music, and popular music and media studies, valuable as they are in describing and theorizing the nature of sociocultural practices in music, have almost nothing to contribute to our understanding of musical practices in young children's lives, particularly before they attend school. What insights we do have into children's musical lives are drawn mainly from studies of play activity when children are attending out-of-home care and education (Campbell 1998; K. Marsh 2005 )-much less are they drawn from family life in the home. There is little indeed concerning children's everyday experiences of music once they are in elementary (or equivalent) schooling that is not simply pedagogic in purpose (Barrett 2003; Campbell 1998). We suggest, then, that the integration of interdisciplinary accounts of young children's musical experiences is essential if we are to acquire fuller understandings of their musicality, the diversity of their musical practices, and how they develop musically within heterogeneous contexts. In taking a perspective on children's musical practices or "musical lives," we wish to signal that we are interested in both the music that is presented to or selected by the child and the nature of children's responses.

Ich danke ihm insbesondere dafür, dass er trotz einiger anderer Betreuungsprojekte meine Masterarbeit angenommen hat und somit meinen Wunsch, im Musikbereich zu forschen, ermöglicht hat. Des Weiteren möchte ich meinem Freund und meiner Familie dafür danken, dass sie sich meine Problemstellungen bis zum Ende hin angehört haben und mir immer wieder Inspi- rationen für neue Lösungswege geben konnten. Besonderer Dank gilt meiner Mutter, Gabriele Lorentz, mit der ich interessante Gespräche zu musikalischen Themen führen konnte und mei- nem Vater, Dr. Thomas Lorentz, mit dem ich nächtliche Diskussionen über Markov-Ketten und Neuronale Netzwerke hatte. Ich danke meinen Eltern und meinem Freund, Michael Feuerlein, für die kritische Durchsicht der Arbeit. Kurzfassung In der vorliegenden Masterarbeit wurden die Melodie-Hooklines von Popsongs, die in Deutsch- land zwischen 1978 und 2019 sehr erfolgreich waren, explorativ analysiert. Ziel war, zu unter- suchen, ob gewisse Muster in den Reihenfolgen der Töne und Tonlängen vorkommen, und diese zu finden. Für die Mustersuche wurden Markov-Ketten erster, zweiter und dritter Ord- nung sowie Chi-Quadrat-Anpassungstests berechnet.

  • The Participatory We-Self: Ethnicity and Music In
    THE PARTICIPATORY WE-SELF: ETHNICITY AND MUSIC IN NORTHERN THAILAND A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITYOF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN MUSIC AUGUST 2017 By Benjamin Stuart Fairfield Dissertation Committee: Frederick Lau, Chairperson Ricardo D. Trimillos R. Anderson Sutton Paul Lavy Barbara W. Andaya Keywords: Northern Thailand, Participatory Music, Lanna, Karen, Lahu, Akha i ABSTRACT The 20th century consolidation of Bangkok’s central rule over the northern Lanna kingdom and its outliers significantly impacted and retrospectively continues to shape regional identities, influencing not just khon mueang northerners but also ethnic highlanders including the Karen, Akha, Lahu, and others. Scholars highlight the importance and emergence of northern Thai “Lanna” identity and its fashioning via performance, specifically in relation to a modernizing and encroaching central Thai state, yet northern-focused studies tend to grant highland groups only cursory mention. Grounded in ethnographic field research on participatory musical application and Mihalyi Csikszentmihalyi’s notion of “flow”, this dissertation examines four case studies of musical engagements in the north as it specifically relates to ethnic, political, and autoethnographic positioning, narratives, and group formulation. In examining the inclusive and exclusive participatory nature of musical expression within various ethnic and local performances in the north, I show how identity construction and social synchrony, achieved via “flow,” sit at the heart of debates over authenticity, continuity, and ethnic destiny. This especially happens within and is complicated by the process of participatory musical traditions, where Thongchai Winichakul’s “we-self” is felt, synchronized, distinguished, and imagined as extending beyond the local performance in shared musical space across borders and through time—even as the “other” is present and necessary for the distinguishing act of ethnic formalization.

Publisher: IP Publishing - http://www.ippublishing.com Red and yellow songs: a historical analysis of the use of music by the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) and the People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD) in Thailand James Mitchell Abstract: The increase in social protests in Thailand since 2005 has been marked by a dramatic rise in the use of music for protest. This article examines the use of music by the yellow and red shirts, and contextualizes the PAD and UDD within the history of two simi- larly named but very different genres of Thai song: phleng chiwit [life songs] and phleng phuea chiwit [songs for life]. Phleng chiwit was part of a flowering of satirical art forms during Field Marshall Plaek Phibunsongkhram’s second term as Prime Minister (1948– 57) before censorship forced many songwriters to change to the new commercial genre of lukthung [Thai country song]. Phleng phuea chiwit was the preferred music of leftist students in the pro- democracy movement of the 1970s. However, the rehabilitation of phleng phuea chiwit as the official Thai protest genre has disguised the role that lukthung played during the armed struggle of the Com- munist Party of Thailand (CPT).

  • K-Pop – What’S in a Name?
    K-pop – What’s in a Name? ACADEMIC ARTICLE: ROUNDTABLE Ed. Dr. Candace Epps-Robertson Assistant Professor of English and Comparative Literature, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (United States) Ed. Katie Hulme Physicist by day, (amateur) poet by night (United States) Introduction What is a “Roundtable”? A rhizome consists of a multitude of interconnected nodes — and while those nodes might have more that connects than divides them, individual nodes don’t always agree. Learning means being in conversation with one another. Our perspectives are often shaped by our immediate networks and personal experiences, and it never hurts to take a step back and invite some voices to the table — especially those we might not otherwise hear, and those that bring wisdom, experience, and specialized knowledge into the conversation. “ ” 양극화 세상에서 가장 추한 꽃 “Polarization, the ugliest flower in the world” (Agust D, 2020) We have all witnessed heated and emotionally charged debates ignited by particular topics, fueled by the anonymity and speed afforded by social media. Discussions can quickly become polarized, and when polarization begins to play, discourse often begins to falter. Slowing down, taking time to pause, engaging with the ideas of others, and listening are essential to growth and creating new knowledge. The most famous roundtable is probably that of the legendary King Arthur, who insisted that his knights sit at a roundtable because such a table has no head — thus no designated leader. The purpose of a roundtable is to invite individuals into a space where the notion of “us” and “them” is temporarily dispelled, and each voice is given an equal platform to articulate itself.
