Signed: ____________________________ Date: _________________ ABSTRACT Policy designed to promote traditional arts has arguably been the primary recent activity within the Korean cultural field. The Activation Plan, aimed at traditional arts in the private field, is a notable programme that was conducted between 2006 and 2010. This thesis aims to illuminate why and how the Activation Plan was carried out, by exploring the background to the Activation Plan itself and by looking at case studies of two of its subsidiary projects, the 21st Century Korean Music Project, and the Traditional Arts Star Project. By limiting the consideration of the Activation Plan to its policy to promote ‘popular creative traditional music’, this study examines the historical conditions of popular hybrid music cultures for the Activation Plan and the perceptions of relevant policy makers, these being aspects that are not yet adequately discussed in existing studies about ‘world music’ in the global music industry and in studies about the contemporary Korean genre of kugak fusion. In consideration of cultural globalization, this thesis employs a cross-systematic approach that divides cultural practice into four levels of operation – individual, national, cross-national and global – and a cultural identity approach. Therefore, it identifies today’s new aim of cultural policy as the ‘cooperative conservation’ of traditional cultures. Covering the period from the early twentieth century to the present day, this thesis explores how popular music cultures on four levels have been driven by dominant cultural identities. It finds that the Activation Plan was conducted within the post people’s music culture, within a regional, Asian-centred phenomenon now known as the ‘Korean Wave’, and within the global world music culture. Ultimately, the Activation Plan was underpinned by a ‘permissive’ Korean identity which allowed for potential identities at different levels within music production, and it operated as a policy for the cooperative conservation of traditional music. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Firstly I must express my gratitude to my thesis committee. My primary supervisor, Professor Keith Howard, has guided me in the most useful way to complete this thesis. For the last four years he has provided me with invaluable insight into Korean music in its socio-cultural context and with warm encouragement. His support is largely responsible for this work and I really want to thank him for this. My second supervisor, Dr. Nick Gray, has helped me to understand more completely various issues of composing based on traditional music. My third supervisor, Professor Richard Widdess, has always provided generous support as research tutor. Appreciation is extended to the directors who are involved in the 21st Century Korean Music Project and the Traditional Arts Star Project. They have spared no effort to provide useful materials, and generously gave their time for interview. I acknowledge with deep gratitude GugakFM staff, Yi Yun’gyŏng, the head of programme review, Chang Suhong, a producer, and Ch’oe Yui, a former deputy manager; Pak Sŭngwŏn, a former producer of Loen Entertainment and director of Traditional Arts Star Project; and Universal Music Korea. Thanks are due to many performers and composers. They have offered me scores and photographs (as credited in the thesis), and furthermore during the interviews provided precious academic inspiration to help develop my research. I would like to express many thanks to a great composer, Yang Bang Eon; the Academy of Korean Music, the Hanullim, Ch’ŏngbae, The Kwangdae; ProjectGM/Siuroon, Pulsech’ul, Anaya, Easternox, T’ori’S, Pak Chongsŏng, AUX, Asia Music Ensemble; MIJI; and Yi Chisu, music director of the Traditional Arts Star Project. Particular thanks are due to two changgo teachers, Chang Chin’gyu, a member of Yongin Traditional Performing Arts Group, and Ch’oe Chŭnghyŏn, a founding member of the international Korean traditional percussion group Dulsori, who enriched my understanding of Korean rhythmic cycles. I would be greatly remiss not to mention Kim Youngdong, a pioneer of kugak kayo, and Ryu Hyŏngsŏn, a former music director of the 21C Korean Music Project, who contributed greatly to the development of the people’s cultural movement in Korea. Their remarks were invaluable in helping me to understand an important facet of the history of Korean popular music culture. Finally, I owe a large debt to my family. My two sisters and their families have always given me strength and determination. I really appreciate their constant support. Lastly, I cannot finish this acknowledgement without expressing my indebtedness to my mother. I cannot imagine how much self-sacrifice she has endured to support her son in carrying out this long-term research project. Without her support, this thesis was impossible from the beginning. I dedicate this work to her, with my deepest gratitude. 7 Table of Contents CHAPTER ONE: Introduction 14 Aims and Purposes 15 Popular creative traditional music and the Activation Plan as a music policy 16 Approaches 25 Interview as the main empirical approach 34 Literature Review 36 Overviews 45 CHAPTER TWO: Cultural Globalization, Identity, and Policy 49 Cultural globalization: A theoretical perspective 49 A cross-systematic approach 54 A cultural identity approach 56 Cultural policy 63 Periodization 67 Conclusion 70 CHAPTER THREE: Patriotic Popular Music Culture and Shin 72 Minyo The introduction of Western music 72 1906-1945: Imperialistic music culture within the educational system 76 1920s-1945: Patriotic popular music culture outside the educational system 81 1950s: The formation of American-style popular music culture 90 1960s: The settlement of American-style popular music culture 93 1950s-1960s: The thread of life of shin minyo 95 8 Conclusion 96 CHAPTER FOUR: The People’s Music Culture 99 Korean authoritarian regimes and two cultures amongst young people 99 1970s: The youth t’ong kit’a culture and the identity of youth 100 1970s-1980s: Culture of the people and the identity of the people 106 1970s-1980s: The madang kŭk movement 107 1980s: The norae undong (song movement) 110 1980s: The p’ungmul movement 115 The Han’guk ŭmak non (discourse of Korean music) 120 1984: The ‘Ppongtchak’ debate 124 Conclusion 128 CHAPTER FIVE: The Post people’s Music Culture 131 1987: The political turning point 132 1987-: The music culture of citizens 133 2002-: Kim Soochul and his ‘Guitar sanjo’ 140 1987-: Samullori groups of the second generation 147 1999-: Yang Bang Eon 167 1992-: The shin sedae tamnon (discourse of a new generation) 177 1998-: The cross-national Asian-centred culture of ‘Korean Wave’ 179 Global ‘world music’ culture, pop culture, parodies of ‘Gangnam Style’ and 184 discourse of world music Conclusion 206 9 CHAPTER SIX: The 21C Korean Music Project and the 209 Traditional Arts Star Project Vision 2010: The Activation plan for traditional arts 209 The national level: The Post people’s culture 212 The regional: the Asian-centred ‘Korean Wave’ 220 The global: the global world music culture 226 21C Korean Music Project 227 Traditional Arts Star Project 252 Conclusion 268 CHAPTER SEVEN: The Cultural Identities of Young 271 Musicians ProjectGM/Siuroon (KMP 21, 2007) 271 Pulsech’ul (KMP 21, 2007) 277 Anaya (KMP 21, 2008) 281 Easternox (KMP 21, 2008) 286 Tori’S (KMP 21, 2009) 289 Pak Chongsŏng (KMP 21, 2009) 296 AUX (KMP 21, 2010) 300 AME (KMP 21, 2010) 304 Yi Chisu (TASP, 2008-2010) 310 Conclusion 315 CHAPTER EIGHT: Conclusion 317 References 325 Selected Discography 361 Glossary 363 10 List of Tables 2.1 Periodization 70 5.1 ‘Uttari kut’ from ‘Kil kunak ch’il ch’ae’ to ‘Chajin karak’ 160 5.2 Radio Programmes on World Music (1998-2003) 203 6.1 Specific undertakings by policy tasks: 211 Five policy

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.

    UN report on global warming target puts governments on the spot 1 October 2018, by Marlowe Hood To the surprise of many—especially scientists, who had based nearly a decade of research on the assumption that 2C was the politically acceptable guardrail for a climate-safe world—the treaty also called for a good-faith effort to cap warming at the lower threshold. At the same time, countries asked the IPCC to detail what a 1.5C world would look like, and how hard it might be to prevent a further rise in temperature. "Unfortunately, we are already well on the way to the 1.5C limit, and the sustained warming trend shows no sign of relenting," Elena Manaenkova, Deputy Secretary-General of the World With only one degree Celsius of warming so far, the Meteorological Organization told the plenary. world has seen a climate-change crescendo of deadly heatwaves, wild fires and floods, along with superstorms Three years and many drafts later, the answer has swollen by rising seas come in the form of a 400-page report—grounded in an assessment of 6,000 peer-reviewed studies—that delivers a stark, double-barrelled message: 1.5C is enough to unleash climate mayhem, and the Diplomats gathering in South Korea Monday find pathways to avoiding an even hotter world require a themselves in the awkward position of vetting and swift and complete transformation not just of the validating a major UN scientific report that global economy, but of society too. underscores the failure of their governments to take stronger action on climate.

  • SOAS-AKS Working Papers in Korean Studies No. 33 the K-‐Pop Boom
    School of Oriental and African Studies University of London SOAS-AKS Working Papers in Korean Studies No. 33 The K-Pop Boom in Taiwan Sang-Yeon Sung http://www.soas.ac.uk/japankorea/research/soas-aks-papers/ The K-Pop Boom in Taiwan Sang-Yeon Sung (University of Vienna) © 2012 Introduction Many people consider K-pop – the term being an abbreviation of Korean pop – to be one of the most successful Asian pop musics today. Its popularity and the popularity of its performers have spread not only within the region, but to many Western countries. If the first ‘Korean wave’ was centered in the popularity of Korean soap operas, such as Winter Sonata and Daejangkeum, the second ‘Korean wave’ is about K-pop and K-pop idols, such as Super Junior and Girls’ Generation. In both waves, Taiwan has played an important role in the dissemination of Korean popular culture within the region. Therefore, the K-pop boom in contemporary Taiwan is worthy of examination (after Moskowitz 2011: 4). This paper, based on ethnographic research in Taiwan, discusses the role of the Taiwanese music industry and Taiwanese music fans in the dissemination of K-pop, both in Taiwan and in other Chinese-speaking areas. The sources used are mainly interviews with fans, TV producers, music industry leaders, and officials of the Tourism Bureau in the Ministry of Transportation and Communications of the Republic of China, and have been conducted since March 2000. Taiwan: The Contact Zone of East Asian Pop Music Academic research on the popular culture of East Asia has typically focused on explaining the success of Japanese and Korean genres and styles (Huang 2011; Iwabuchi 2006; Kim 2005; Shim 2006; Sung 2008; Ubonrat & Shin 2007), leaving Taiwan unexplored.

  • Transformation of the Dualistic International Order Into the Modern Treaty System in the Sino-Korean Relationship
    International Journal of Korean History (Vol.15 No.2, Aug.2010) 97 G Transformation of the Dualistic International Order into the Modern Treaty System in the Sino-Korean Relationship Song Kue-jin* IntroductionG G Whether in the regional or global scale, the international order can be defined as a unique system within which international issues develop and the diplomatic relations are preserved within confined time periods. The one who has leadership in such international order is, in actuality, the superpowers regardless of the rationale for their leading positions, and the orderliness of the system is determined by their political and economic prowess.1 The power that led East Asia in the pre-modern era was China. The pre- modern East Asian regional order is described as the tribute system. The tribute system is built on the premise of installation, so it was important that China designate and proclaim another nation as a tributary state. The system was not necessarily a one-way imposition; it is possible to view the system built on mutual consent as the tributary state could benefit from China’s support and preserve the domestic order at times of political instability to person in power. Modern capitalism challenged and undermined the East Asian tribute GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG * HK Research Professor, ARI, Korea University 98 Transformation of the Dualistic International Order into the ~ system led by China, and the East Asian international relations became a modern system based on treaties.

With the arrival of Western imperialistic powers, the East Asian regional order faced an inevitable transformation.

Dessa forma, pretende-se analisar aqui o fenômeno K-Pop (Korean Popular Music) e suas técnicas para a construção do ídolo, licenciamento de produtos e seu respectivo sucesso no mercado global de música. A partir de uma reflexão inicial, discutiremos aqui como a indústria cultural está absorvendo esses elementos e construindo novos produtos. Como aporte metodológico, reuniu-se a pesquisa bibliográfica a partir dos conceitos sobre produtos culturais, economia afetiva além de pesquisa em sites focados no universo da cultura Pop Sul-Coreana.

Este é o cenário da indústria fonográfica que, nos últimos 20 anos precisa lidar com o faturamento de suas produções e, ao mesmo tempo, precisa também se adaptar aos processos de compartilhamento via aplicativos, streamings e serviços on demand (JENKINS, 2008); (KELLNER, 2004).

  • The K-Pop Wave: an Economic Analysis
    The K-pop Wave: An Economic Analysis Patrick A. Messerlin1 Wonkyu Shin2 (new revision October 6, 2013) ABSTRACT This paper first shows the key role of the Korean entertainment firms in the K-pop wave: they have found the right niche in which to operate— the ‘dance-intensive’ segment—and worked out a very innovative mix of old and new technologies for developing the Korean comparative advantages in this segment. Secondly, the paper focuses on the most significant features of the Korean market which have contributed to the K-pop success in the world: the relative smallness of this market, its high level of competition, its lower prices than in any other large developed country, and its innovative ways to cope with intellectual property rights issues. Thirdly, the paper discusses the many ways the K-pop wave could ensure its sustainability, in particular by developing and channeling the huge pool of skills and resources of the current K- pop stars to new entertainment and art activities. Last but not least, the paper addresses the key issue of the ‘Koreanness’ of the K-pop wave: does K-pop send some deep messages from and about Korea to the world? It argues that it does.

  • Notes Toward an Archaeology of Hallyu
    Volume 15 | Issue 14 | Number 4 | Article ID 5056 | Jul 15, 2017 The Asia-Pacific Journal | Japan Focus Notes Toward an Archaeology of Hallyu Mark Morris Abstract The first consciousness that a new Korean cultural wave –hallyu-- was in motion began to take shape in different forms and at different times in the rest of East Asia. It was the craze for Korean TV drama that represented a sudden apparition of something new from South Korea. Before long, however, this wave grew bigger and far more complex than anyone might have predicted, including Korean pop music and films, animation, online games, smartphones, fashion, cosmetics, etc. There have been resistances to this inundation notably in Japan, a country where several earlier mini-hallyu now seem long forgotten. Keywords Hallyu, tv drama, Korean pop, manga, film I want our nation to be the most beautiful in the world. By this I do not mean the most powerful nation. The only thing that I desire Kim Ku, 1876–1949 in infinite quantity is the power of a noble culture. This is because the power of culture both makes us happy and gives happiness to Kim Ku (1876-1949), in this rightly famous call others. to culture published not too long before his violent death, went on to articulate a vision of a Kim Ku, Baekbeom ilji (1947) Korea in which Koreans would not only be free for the first time in a long while to be Korean, Introduction but would as well project their culture out into the world. As he put it: ‘I wish our country to be not one that imitates others, but rather the source, goal, and model of this new and advanced culture.
