  • 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.

Chapter 4: Theatricality §1 Boundaries In Imagination and Power: The Ideological Analysis of Theatre 想象與權力: 戲劇意識形態研 究 (2003), Zhou Ning is “concerned with the theatricality in the deep layers of the psychological structure of Chinese cultural character,” arguing that “the function of both [ritual and thought] lies in transcending the boundaries between reality 現實 and the fabricated 虛構, or confusing the two, through illusion.”1 During the Boxer Uprising peasants believed they were immune to bullets, which shows that getting carried away can have dire consequences: The Boxer Uprising (1900-1901) has many ties with theater; it didn’t distinguish the real 真 from the illusory 幻 . [The Boxers] gathered and rebelled while singing arias, they practiced martial arts as if playacting, they were possessed by characters from plays and their spreading of fire, going into battle, tricks and moves were all just like those staged in plays.2 “Popular music creates alternative universes, echoey soundscapes allowing the listener to drift outside the often-stressful realities of everyday life,” argues Witzleben in his article on Anita Mui.3 Throughout this study, the term performance has been instrumental in conceptualizing seemingly stable concepts, such as Chineseness, rock and femininity, as constantly renegotiated creations or articulations of normative or alternative universes.

It explores the extent and nature of celebrity philanthropy with reference to a sample of mainland Chinese celebrities in entertainment and sports. It then draws on interviews conducted with employees of large charities to examine the kinds of links that are being forged between China’s not-for-profit sector and commercial organizations managing the work of celebrities. Finally, it analyses the responses to a national survey on celebrity and philanthropy. We conclude that the relationship between China’s government, not-for-profit and celebrity sectors is becoming more professionalized and organized. This development reveals how the roles and capacities of government are being reconfigured and expanded, even as it also enhances the scope for action and the influence of new social actors and organizations to address government-led national development issues.

In recent years, there has been much research and theory on western film music, especially the Hollywood film industry, by musicologists and scholars in film studies, popular music studies, and other fields. However, there has been little research on Hong Kong Film music, the system of which is different from that of western film music, and therefore I will apply basic film music concepts, but using the real situation of Hong Kong film music to formulate my own argument. The methodology used in this thesis will include the application of basic concepts used by scholars of film music, such as the functions of music in film, combined with fieldwork and analysis of films.

  • Cantopop Songs of All Time!
    THE GREATEST CANTOPOP SONGS OF ALL TIME! Forty years ago, Hong Kong saw the birth of Cantopop, a style of music which would become one of the city’s most iconic cultural offerings. To mark its 40th anniversary, Arthur Tam looks back over the history of the equally loved and derided genre – and explores its evolution and importance through its most beloved songs, one year at a time… 30 timeout.com.hk The early years The Fatal Irony <<啼笑姻緣>> Sandra Lang (仙杜拉) In 1974, during the boom of HK media, 1975 a theme song to a popular drama, << The Fatal Irony <<啼笑姻緣>>, would change everything.

I was very Sam Hui (許冠傑) lucky to have Fatal Irony <<啼笑姻緣>>. It was a The Genius and the Idiot Featuring in the titular movie, which was gift from God. No one had ever done a song like this popularised due to its slapstick humour, before and it became popular because people are good listeners. I never claimed that Fatal Irony was the first Cantopop song, but that’s this song features a strong British rock just what people keep telling me.

The musician’s reply, “I am Chinese” (wo shi Zhongguoren), which stirred a most enthusiastic and warm response from the au- dience, encapsulated everything Wu’s participation stood for, at least from the point of view from the state… By inviting … gangtai singers to participate in concerts and television programs, the Chinese state is not engaged so much in competing with other Chinese politics and identities … but rather in contesting their independence and in co-opting them into a greater Chinese nationalism, of which China is the core. In other words, the Chinese state is engaged in appropri- ating the concept of Greater China (Da Zhonghua).1 Gangtai is a 1980s PRC term for highly successful cultural products from Hong Kong (xiang gang) and Taiwan.

  • China Pop Love, Patriotism and the State in China’S Music Sphere
    115 CHINA POP LOVE, PATRIOTISM AND THE STATE IN CHINA’S MUSIC SPHERE ANDREAS STEEN Popular culture in China is highly dynamic, involving individuals and private companies, both local and international, as well as state-governed institutions. The mass media and new communication technologies naturally play an impor- tant role in production, selection and dissemination, while also increasing in- teraction with international trends and standards. Sheldon H. Lu underscores popular culture’s importance in today’s China by emphasizing that it is “a dein- ing characteristic of Chinese postmodernity”.1 To him, three factors are crucial, namely it’s potential to undermine the censorship and “hard-line” cultural he- gemony of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), its rise as a “major player in the commodiication process,” and “its sugar-coated apoliticism, [which] paciies the masses and represses the memory of China’s political reality” (ibid.). Popular cul- ture, therefore, is the battleground of various ideologies, forces and interests. Its ambivalent and complex entanglement with politics, society and the musical in- dustry is also addressed in the work of other scholars, such as Kevin Latham, who expresses that “understanding Chinese popular culture very often requires care- ful attention to how precisely the state is involved in and related to forms of social and cultural activity and practices. Popular culture does not exist outside of or in contrast to the state but very often in a constant and evolving dialogue with it.”2 This article looks at both conlicts and dialogue in the realm of popular music and attempts to lay out the main contours of China’s current popular music scene.
